The Exitex ERD MK2 Rain Deflector is designed for homeowners seeking to prevent wind-driven rain and drafts from entering their property through exterior doors. Its primary benefit is effective water deflection and draught blocking, ensuring a drier and more comfortable interior. A potential consideration is that it is designed for standard thresholds and may require specific fitting for non-standard door types. This 914mm aluminium deflector features an integrated seal to combat weather ingress and is suitable for various door materials.

Its main purpose is to prevent wind-driven rain from entering under exterior doors and to block draughts and dust.
The deflector is made from aluminium with an integrated flexible seal.
It is suitable for standard wooden and UPVC exterior doors. Special consideration may be needed for non-standard thresholds.
Clean the aluminium with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Wipe the seal clean as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
This model, the ERD MK2, is 914mm in length.
The integrated seal is designed for durability. If it becomes damaged, replacement would depend on the availability of spare parts from the manufacturer or a suitable alternative.
While primarily designed for water and draughts, the seal may offer a minor reduction in external noise by improving the door's seal.
Check that the deflector is securely fastened and properly aligned. Ensure the integrated seal is making full contact with the threshold. The threshold itself might be uneven, requiring adjustment or a packer.
Verify that the flexible seal is intact and not damaged. Ensure the deflector is seated correctly against the door. Check for gaps around the door frame itself, which may require different sealing solutions.
Ensure you are using appropriate tools. If drilling into a UPVC door, use a drill bit suitable for plastic and proceed with caution. If the door threshold is metal, use a metal drill bit. Ensure the deflector is not binding against the door frame during fitting.
Setup: The ERD MK2 is designed for straightforward installation. It typically screws directly into the bottom of the door. Ensure the door is clean and dry before fitting. Position the deflector so the angled bar faces outwards. Mark screw hole positions, pre-drill if necessary, and secure the deflector firmly. Minor adjustments may be needed to ensure the seal makes good contact with the threshold.
Compatibility: This model is suitable for standard exterior doors, including both traditional wooden doors and modern UPVC doors. It is designed for use with standard door thresholds. For doors with unusually high or low thresholds, or complex shapes, professional assessment may be required.
Care: Clean the aluminium deflector with a damp cloth periodically to remove dirt and grime. The flexible seal can be wiped clean as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the aluminium finish or the seal.
