Full details
This iSTYLE MODE BETTER HOME CHOICE Draught Excluder is for homeowners and renters seeking a simple, effective way to improve home insulation and reduce heating costs. Its key benefit is superior thermal insulation, keeping warmth in and draughts out, leading to potential energy savings. A potential caveat is its fixed size, which may not suit exceptionally large or unusually shaped openings. It is a fabric draught excluder, also known as a draft stopper or door snake, made from durable polyester with a polyester hollowfibre filling, designed to block cold air and dust from entering rooms through doors and windows, adding both practicality and style to your home.

FAQs
What materials is the draught excluder made of?
The cover is made of 100% Polyester, and the filling is 100% Polyester hollowfibre.
What are the dimensions of the draught excluder?
It measures approximately 92 cm in length and 20 cm in width.
Can I use this for windows as well as doors?
Yes, this draught excluder is suitable for use on windows, particularly on window sills or patio doors that tend to let in cold air.
How often should I clean the draught excluder?
It is recommended to clean the draught excluder when it appears visibly soiled or once per season to maintain hygiene and freshness. Refer to the care instructions for washing.
Will this excluder help with noise reduction?
While its primary function is thermal insulation, the dense filling and snug fit can offer some minor reduction in ambient noise by creating a better seal.

Is the filling washable?
Yes, the entire draught excluder, including the polyester hollowfibre filling, is machine washable according to the 'Wash as Synthetics' instructions.
Troubleshooting
Draught excluder does not fully seal the gap
Ensure the excluder is the correct size for the gap. For wider gaps, consider using two excluders side-by-side or a more substantial barrier. Ensure the excluder is pushed firmly against the door or window frame.
Fabric shows signs of wear after a short period
Check if the excluder is being subjected to excessive friction or abrasion. Ensure doors and windows are not repeatedly slamming against it. Clean according to care instructions; heavy soiling can sometimes exacerbate wear.
Filling appears lumpy or uneven after washing
Gently reshape the filling by hand while the excluder is still slightly damp after washing. Ensure it is fully air-dried. Avoid tumble drying as this can cause the filling to clump.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Simply place the draught excluder along the bottom of a door or window where a gap is present. Ensure it fits snugly against the opening to create a seal. For best results, position it on the inside of the room to benefit from the indoor heating.
Compatibility: This draught excluder is designed for standard doors and windows. Its length of 92cm makes it suitable for most single doorways. It can also be used on large window sills or patio doors that experience draughts.
Care: To clean, machine wash the draught excluder on a 'Wash as Synthetics' cycle. Air dry thoroughly before re-placing it to maintain its shape and filling integrity. Spot clean minor marks with a damp cloth.
