FAQs

How do I clean the draft excluder?

You can clean the draft excluder by wiping it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using strong cleaning agents or abrasive materials.

What types of doors can this be used on?

This draft excluder is suitable for most standard interior and exterior doors, provided the bottom edge is clean, dry, and relatively flat for optimal adhesion.

Do I need any tools to install this?

No, installation is simple with its peel-and-stick adhesive backing. You may need scissors or a utility knife if you need to cut it to size.

How long does the adhesive last?

The adhesive is designed for durable use. However, longevity can depend on environmental factors and the frequency of door use. Proper surface preparation is key to maximizing adhesion.

Will this work on a door with a large gap underneath?

This product is best for moderate gaps. For very large gaps, you might need a more specialized solution, as this excluder has a limited thickness.

Can I paint the draft excluder?

The white finish is designed to be neutral. Painting is not recommended as it may affect the material's flexibility and the adhesive's performance.

Troubleshooting

Draft excluder is not sticking properly.

Ensure the door surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth before application. Re-apply pressure along the entire length. If adhesion remains poor, the adhesive may have lost its tackiness; consider replacing the strip.

Draft excluder is too long or too short.

The excluder can be carefully cut to size using scissors or a utility knife before application. If already applied and too long, carefully peel it back and trim the excess.

Draft excluder is causing the door to stick when closing.

The door may require adjustment or the draft excluder may need to be trimmed slightly. Ensure the excluder is not too thick for the door frame clearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the bottom edge of the door is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris.
  2. Measure and cut the draft excluder to the desired length if necessary.
  3. Peel off the adhesive backing.
  4. Carefully align the excluder with the bottom of the door and press firmly to ensure good adhesion.
