FAQs
What are the dimensions of the letterbox seal?
The flap measures 28cm (11 inches) and the overall size of the seal is approximately 34cm (13.5 inches).
What material is the letterbox seal made from?
The letterbox seal is constructed from durable PVC.
Is this seal suitable for outdoor letterboxes?
While designed to protect against drafts and weather, it is typically installed on the interior side of the door. Its durability makes it suitable for exposed environments.
Do I need any special tools to install it?
Basic tools like a screwdriver are usually sufficient. Pre-drilling small pilot holes might be helpful but is not always necessary.
How can I clean the letterbox seal?
You can clean the seal by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
Will this seal stop rain from getting in?
The flap provides a good level of protection against light rain and driven spray, but it is primarily designed for draught exclusion.
Can I paint the letterbox seal?
Painting PVC can be challenging, and it's not recommended as it may affect the material's flexibility and the seal's effectiveness. It is designed to be used as is.
Troubleshooting
Draughts still present after installation
Ensure the seal is fitted flush against the door and that the flap closes properly. Check if the size is appropriate for your letterbox opening and if additional weatherstripping is needed around the door itself.
Seal is loose or rattling
Verify that all screws are tightened securely. If the mounting holes have become stripped, consider using slightly larger screws or a screw anchor for a firmer fit.
Flap is difficult to open or close
Check for any obstructions or misalignment. Ensure the seal is not preventing the flap's natural movement. Adjust the position slightly if necessary.
