FAQs
What material is the draught excluder made from?
The draught excluder is made from durable, high-quality materials designed for long-lasting performance.
Can I use this draught excluder on windows?
While primarily designed for doors, it can be used on window sills if there is a suitable gap that needs sealing. Its dimensions might make it more effective on larger window openings.
How do I clean the draught excluder?
You can clean it by wiping it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using strong cleaning agents or abrasive materials, and ensure it is completely dry before use.
Does it require any tools for installation?
No, installation is tool-free. The draught excluder is designed to stay in place through its weight and snug fit.
What are the exact dimensions of the product?
The draught excluder measures 90cm in length, 18cm in width, and 10cm in depth.
Will this help reduce heating costs?
Yes, by effectively blocking drafts and preventing heat loss, it helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature, which can lead to reduced energy consumption and lower heating costs.
Can I cut the draught excluder to fit smaller doors?
Yes, the draught excluder can be carefully cut to size using sharp scissors or a utility knife if it is too long for your door.
Troubleshooting
Draught excluder doesn't stay in place
Ensure the excluder is positioned correctly with even contact on both sides of the gap. Check that the floor surface is relatively smooth. For slight movement, try folding a small amount of the material on the ends to create a tighter fit.
Excluder is too long for the door
The excluder can be carefully cut to size using sharp scissors or a utility knife. Ensure you measure accurately before cutting and make a clean, straight cut.
Reduced effectiveness over time
Check the material for wear and tear. If the filling has compressed significantly, it may need replacing. Clean the excluder as per care instructions to ensure it seals properly.
Noticeable gap still exists
Verify the dimensions of the gap. This excluder is designed for gaps up to approximately 10cm deep and 18cm wide. If the gap is larger or irregular, multiple excluders might be needed, or a different solution may be more appropriate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the draught excluder.
- Identify the door or window gap you wish to seal. The excluder is designed for gaps under doors.
- Place the draught excluder along the bottom of the door, ensuring it makes contact with the floor and the door's underside.
- For optimal performance, ensure the excluder is snug against the door and the floor.
- No tools or adhesives are required. The weight and design of the excluder hold it in place.
Compatibility:
- Dimensions: Length: 90cm, Width: 18cm, Depth: 10cm.
- Ideal For: Most standard doors (internal and external) with under-door gaps. Can be used on window sills if the gap is appropriate.
- Considerations: For doors wider or narrower than 90cm, consider if the excluder can be trimmed or if it will sufficiently seal when slightly compressed or bunched.
Care:
- To clean, wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Allow to air dry completely before repositioning.
- Store in a dry place when not in use to maintain material integrity.
