I'm overhauling my windows - filling, sanding, painting, etc. They're single glazed wooden sash units.

Where the two sashes meet there are what look like draught excluder strips - lengths of plastic about 7mm wide with brushing attached (see photos). They fit into horizontal grooves in the wood. I want to replace them because they're looking quite tatty and some are damaged.

Two different types used depending on which window. One type has a flat profile and the other has a t-shaped profile.

I had thought these would be a standard item & easy to find, but lots of googling & looking on eBay, DIY shop websites, etc. hasn't really helped. Does anyone know what these are called please and where I can buy them?

(I'm in the UK btw)

Thank you.

Thank you. Useful. I'm going to email them in a minute with the photos and see what they would recommend.
 
And as you will see from both the sites mentioned you can get new parting and staff beads pre-grooved for brush seals as well.
