Product Information
Full details
The Vivo PVC Door Brush Draught Excluder is ideal for homeowners looking to improve energy efficiency and maintain a cleaner, draft-free indoor environment. By using a durable brush design, it effectively seals the gap between the bottom of the door and the floor, blocking cold air, dust, and insects. While its self-adhesive backing makes for a quick installation, users should note that the adhesive strength relies heavily on applying it to a clean, dry, and smooth surface to ensure long-term stability.

FAQs
Can this be used on external doors?
Yes, it is suitable for external doors, though the longevity of the adhesive may vary depending on exposure to extreme weather conditions.
Will this work on carpeted floors?
It is designed primarily for hard surfaces. While it may work on very low-pile carpet, it is not recommended for thick or plush carpets as the brush will get stuck.
Can I paint the PVC strip?
While the white finish is designed to blend in, you can lightly sand the PVC and apply a plastic-bonding spray paint if you need to match a specific door color.
What is the maximum gap this can cover?
The brush is designed to seal standard door gaps, typically up to 10-15mm depending on the flexibility of the bristles.
Is the strip trimmable?
Yes, the PVC base can be easily cut to size using standard household tools like a saw or heavy-duty snips.
Troubleshooting
The strip is peeling off shortly after installation.
The door surface was likely not clean or dry enough. Remove the strip, clean the surface with rubbing alcohol, and reapply with a fresh adhesive strip or contact adhesive.
The door is difficult to close after installation.
The brush is likely pressed too tightly against the floor. Adjust the height of the strip so the bristles touch the floor lightly without being forced under heavy pressure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Tool-free installation process
- Provides a significant barrier against drafts and insects
- Durable PVC material ensures a long lifespan
- Discreet white finish fits most modern home styles

Cons
- Not suitable for extremely uneven or heavily textured floors

- Cannot be easily repositioned once the adhesive is fully cured
Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Clean: Before installation, thoroughly clean the bottom of the door with a degreasing agent to remove dust, oil, and debris.
- Measure: Measure the width of your door and cut the PVC strip to the required length using a pair of heavy-duty scissors or a hacksaw.
- Apply: Peel the protective film from the adhesive backing and press firmly along the bottom edge of the door, holding it in place for 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond.
- Cure: Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before operating the door frequently to ensure maximum longevity.
*Care Tip*: If dust accumulates on the brush over time, simply run a vacuum brush attachment over the bristles to maintain their sealing efficiency.
