Troubleshooting
Draught excluder doesn't sit flat
Ensure the filling is evenly distributed. Gently shake or pat the excluder to redistribute the hollowfibre filling.
Reduced effectiveness after washing
Ensure the excluder is completely dry before use. The filling needs to be fully aerated to provide optimal insulation.
Excluder shifts when door is operated
Ensure the excluder is wide enough for the gap and consider using a double-sided adhesive tape (if appropriate for your flooring) for extra security in high-traffic areas.
