What is the primary benefit of using this product?

The primary benefit is to prevent heat loss and stop draughts, thereby improving your home's energy efficiency and comfort.

Can this be used on both doors and windows?

Yes, it can be used on both doors and windows, provided there is a suitable surface for screw-in installation and a gap to seal.

Troubleshooting

Excluder does not seal properly

Ensure the excluder is screwed firmly into place and the brush is making full contact. Adjust positioning or check for obstructions. If the gap is too large, consider a thicker brush seal or a different type of draught excluder.

Screws do not hold securely

Ensure you are using screws appropriate for the material of your door or window frame. For softer wood, consider using slightly longer or wider screws, or using wall plugs if fixing into masonry.

Brush is damaged or shedding

Inspect the brush for any physical damage. If shedding is minor, it may be residual from cutting. If significant, the unit may need replacement. Ensure the brush is not being scraped against abrasive surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure the length of the gap to be sealed on your door or window frame.
  2. Cut the aluminium brush excluder to the required size using a hacksaw or appropriate cutting tool. Ensure the cut is clean and straight.
  3. Position the excluder along the gap, ensuring the brush makes firm contact with the surface it is sealing against (e.g., the floor for a door bottom).
  4. Secure the excluder by screwing it into the frame using appropriate screws (not included) through the pre-drilled holes or designated areas on the aluminium base.

Compatibility:

  • Best suited for flat, solid surfaces where screws can be securely fastened, such as wooden door frames, window sills, or metal frames.
  • Ensure there is sufficient clearance for the brush to sweep effectively without obstruction.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the brush for dirt or debris and clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the aluminium or brush material.
  • Check screws periodically to ensure the excluder remains securely fastened.
