How long does the STORMGUARD Draught Excluder last?

The tape effectively seals gaps between 1mm and 8mm wide.
What material are the tape made of?
The material is not specified.
Can I use this on a sliding door?

How do I remove the tape if needed?
Carefully peel the tape off. Some adhesive residue may remain; this can be removed with a suitable adhesive remover.
Troubleshooting
The tape is not sticking properly.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any residue before application. Press firmly on the tape after applying to ensure a good bond. If the surface is porous, consider using a primer.
The door or window is difficult to close after installing the tape.
Check that the tape is not too thick for the gap. You might need to adjust the placement of the tape or use a thinner profile.
The tape is coming off after a short period.
Make sure the surface is completely dry before application. Consider using a heat gun or hair dryer on low setting to activate the adhesive. Also, check for any oily substances on the surface before applying the tape.
