Product Information

Full details

The Exitex Plastic Water Bar is an essential solution for homeowners looking to protect their entryways from the elements. Designed specifically for external hardwood doors, this durable profile effectively blocks draughts and prevents water ingress, helping to improve your home's energy efficiency and reduce external noise levels. While highly effective at weatherproofing, it is important to note that this product is intended for specific door clearances, so verifying your threshold gap before installation is necessary for optimal performance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on a uPVC door?

This product is specifically designed for external hardwood doors and may not be compatible with the integrated thresholds found on uPVC systems.

Is the water bar paintable?

It is made of durable, colored plastic and is not intended to be painted; the finish is designed to be weather-resistant as-is.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a tape measure, a pencil for marking, and a fine-tooth saw for trimming the plastic to size.

Does it come with fixings?

Installation typically relies on adhesive or appropriate screws depending on your specific door threshold, so please check your hardware requirements before starting.

Will this block all noise?

While it significantly reduces draught-related noise, it is not a complete soundproofing solution for high-decibel exterior environments.

Troubleshooting

Door is difficult to close after installation

The bar may be positioned too high; adjust the placement or ensure the door is not catching on the profile edge.

Water still seeping under the door

Check that the bar is fully seated against the threshold and that there are no gaps at the corners; apply a bead of exterior-grade sealant if necessary.

The bar is coming loose

Re-clean the threshold surface to remove oils and use a high-strength exterior adhesive to re-bond the bar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the water bar, first measure the width of your door frame accurately. Mark the excess plastic and use a fine-tooth saw to cut the profile to the desired length. Ensure the threshold area is clean, dry, and free of dust or existing debris before application. Position the bar to ensure the door closes smoothly without excessive friction. Regarding care, the plastic profile is low-maintenance; periodically wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove grit. Check the alignment annually to ensure the seal remains tight and that no structural debris has obstructed the bar's path.
