Product overview
Aluminium covers – weather protection rails for window sashes
Wooden windows are constantly exposed to the elements and the environment: rain, hail, frost and sunlight all take their toll on wood. As the horizontal sash bar, which forms the lower edge of the sash, is particularly susceptible to damage, this part of the window requires special attention. Take advantage of the practical and simple solution from BUG: sash covering profiles – an aluminium cover for window sashes.

Protected windows with sash covering profiles
BUG sash covering profiles ensure that rainwater is drained effectively and also provide a proper seal. BUG aluminium sash profiles are also suitable for sealing against heavy rain.
The correct size is essential to ensure that window and door frames are properly sealed. Take into account the width, height and thickness of the bottom edge of the window. What’s more, BUG gives you design freedom when it comes to the angle of the sash covering profiles. This offers a very high level of accuracy and guaranteed weather protection.
Installation of the sash covering profiles
The sash covering profiles are designed so that the clip holders can be fixed to the wood using clamps or nails. Alternatively, you can use screws. If present, the lining tape for the insulating glass is attached and the sash covering profiles are snapped into place with end caps. Finally, seal the edges and joints with a suitable sealant and the installation is complete.

To minimise the maintenance requirements of wooden windows, sash covering profiles should be used on all wooden windows and doors. Sash covering profiles can also be retrofitted to existing windows. For optimum protection, we recommend a comprehensive weather protection system, including weather bars. This also ensures a clean finish on the sides.

Maintenance is minimal thanks to the weatherproof and easy-care aluminium profiles. Check regularly that the sash covering profiles are not coming loose from the window. You should also clean the sash covering profiles about twice a year to remove dirt and debris. This ensures good water drainage.
