Many new styles of wood casements have their own built-in-weather-proofing. If yours do not, nail spring metal stripping to the frame. For casements that open outward, the railing flange should be placed along the outside edge of the frame. Reverse the position of the nailing flange for windows that open inward.
You can also install felt or adhesive-backed foam stripping on the inside of the frame, but such material tend to loosen after a few months of frequent opening and closing of the windows.
These same procedures apply to awning-type windows which are really sidewise casements.
