This B&Q Brown Draft Excluder Kit is designed for homeowners seeking a simple and effective way to reduce heat loss and prevent cold air infiltration. It provides an immediate barrier against drafts at the bottom of doors, contributing to a warmer home and potentially lower energy bills. A minor consideration is that the adhesive strength may vary depending on the door material and condition. The kit includes a durable, self-adhesive strip measuring (L)1000mm by (W)50mm.

FAQs

How do I clean the draft excluder?

You can clean the draft excluder by gently wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using strong detergents or abrasive materials that could damage the surface or its adhesive.

What is the size of the draft excluder in the kit?

The kit includes one draft excluder strip measuring (L)1000mm (1 meter) in length and (W)50mm in width.

Can I cut the draft excluder to fit my door?

Yes, the excluder can be cut to the desired length using scissors or a utility knife to ensure a perfect fit for your door.

What types of doors is this suitable for?

It is suitable for most standard interior and exterior doors, provided the bottom edge is relatively smooth and the gap beneath is consistent.

Will this stop all drafts?

This excluder effectively stops drafts coming from under the door. It may not address drafts originating from other parts of the door frame.

How long will the adhesive last?

The longevity of the adhesive depends on the surface it's applied to and the frequency of door use. For best results, ensure the surface is clean and dry upon application, and reapply pressure if it seems to loosen.

Troubleshooting

Excluder is not sticking properly

Ensure the door and floor surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. For uneven surfaces, consider a more flexible draft-proofing solution or a primer for better adhesion.

Drafts are still noticeable after installation

Check if the excluder is properly aligned and pressed firmly against the door. Ensure there are no gaps. The door may also have drafts coming from other areas, such as around the frame.

Excluder is too long for the door

Measure the width of the door and carefully cut the excluder strip to size using sharp scissors or a utility knife before applying.

Adhesive strength seems to be weakening

Clean the surface again and reapply pressure. If the adhesive has lost its tack, you may need to replace the strip or consider using a suitable double-sided tape designed for heavy-duty applications.

  • Quick and easy to install without special tools.
  • Effectively seals gaps under doors to block drafts.
  • Helps improve home insulation and reduce energy costs.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.
  • Cost-effective solution for draft problems.

Cons

  • Adhesive may not stick well to rough or uneven surfaces.
  • May require periodic reapplication if adhesion weakens over time.
  • Limited to draft exclusion at the bottom of doors.
  • The 1000mm length may be too long for some doors and require cutting.
  • Brown color might not match all interior or exterior door aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the bottom of the door and the floor surface where the excluder will be applied are clean, dry, and free from dust or debris.
  2. Measure and cut the excluder strip to the required length using scissors or a utility knife if necessary.
  3. Peel off the adhesive backing strip.
  4. Carefully align the excluder with the bottom edge of the door and press firmly into place, ensuring good contact along the entire length.

Compatibility:

This draft excluder is designed for use on the bottom of most standard interior and exterior doors. It is most effective on doors with a relatively smooth bottom edge and a consistent gap beneath them. It is not suitable for doors with significant warping or uneven bottom edges.

Care:

To clean the draft excluder, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these could damage the material or weaken the adhesive. Periodically check the adhesion and re-press firmly if necessary. If the adhesive loses its effectiveness, the excluder can be replaced.
