FAQs

What material is the draught seal made from?

The draught seal is made from durable EPDM rubber, known for its weather resistance and longevity.

How do I apply the draught seal?

Clean and dry the surface thoroughly. Peel back the adhesive backing and press the seal firmly into place, working along the length of the application area.

Can this seal be used on any type of door or window?

It is best suited for smooth, clean surfaces like painted wood, metal, or uPVC. Avoid using on rough or textured materials.

How long will the draught seal last?

Made from durable EPDM, it is designed for long-lasting protection against the elements, but its lifespan depends on application quality and environmental exposure.

Will this seal help reduce noise?

Yes, by creating a tighter seal around doors and windows, it can help to reduce the ingress of external noise.

What is the color of the draught seal?

The draught seal comes in a white finish.

Can I cut the draught seal to size?

Yes, you can cut the seal to your required length using sharp scissors or a utility knife.

Troubleshooting

Seal is not sticking well

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Re-clean the surface and reapply the seal, pressing firmly.

Drafts are still noticeable

Check if the seal is properly compressed when the door or window is closed. Ensure the correct size seal was used and that all gaps have been covered. Inspect for any damage to the seal.

Seal is peeling away at the edges

The surface may not have been adequately prepared, or excess moisture was present. Try re-applying pressure along the edges. If the problem persists, consider re-applying after thorough surface cleaning and drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the Surface: Ensure the area where the seal will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or debris. Use a mild detergent and water, then dry thoroughly.
  2. Measure and Cut: Measure the required length and cut the seal to size using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
  3. Apply Adhesive Backing: Peel back a small section of the backing paper.
  4. Position and Press: Carefully align the seal with the edge and press firmly into place, working from one end to the other. Gradually peel off the backing paper as you apply pressure to ensure a secure bond.

Compatibility:

This seal is best suited for smooth, clean surfaces such as painted wood, metal, and uPVC found on most door and window frames. It is not recommended for porous, rough, or heavily textured surfaces where adhesion may be compromised.

Care:

Clean the seal gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the EPDM material and its adhesive.
