Troubleshooting

The draught excluder doesn't seem to be blocking drafts.

Ensure the excluder is properly positioned and making full contact with both the door/window and the floor/frame. Adjust as needed.

The excluder is too short for the door/window.

Check the dimensions of your door/window against the excluder specifications. Consider using multiple excluders if necessary.

The excluder keeps falling off.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry before installation. Consider using adhesive tape if needed to improve the hold.
