Volden Brown Self-Adhesive Draught Seal - B&Q

The Volden draught seal is made from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), a durable synthetic rubber known for its weather resistance.

The product information does not specify the exact length; please refer to the product packaging or listing for dimensions.

It is best suited for smooth, clean surfaces on standard doors and windows. It may not adhere effectively to very rough, dirty, or oily surfaces.

You can cut the seal to the desired length using sharp scissors or a utility knife.

EPDM is generally UV resistant, so the brown color should maintain its integrity for a significant period under normal outdoor exposure.

Proper surface preparation and firm application are key. Cleaning the surface and ensuring it is dry and free of contaminants before application will maximize adhesion and longevity.

It is not recommended to paint over the EPDM seal, as paint may not adhere well and could compromise its flexibility and sealing properties.

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. For porous surfaces, consider using a primer or adhesion promoter. Press firmly along the entire length of the seal.

Re-press the edges firmly. If the adhesive has lost its tack, you may need to replace the section or use a suitable adhesive tape designed for exterior use.

The seal may be too thick or applied incorrectly, causing an obstruction. Re-measure and re-apply, ensuring the seal compresses slightly when the door/window is closed but does not impede its movement.
