Draught Excluders

Frequently Asked Questions

Draught excluders are unobtrusive, affordable and can help to make your home more energy efficient. 

Are draught excluders worth it?

Considering the benefits they can reap, draught excluders are a very sensible investment. Easy to install and inexpensive to buy in the first place, by preventing heat-loss and keeping cold air out, they can help to keep your energy costs down each month.

What is the best material for a draught excluder?

Look for models with thick brush bristles or a rubber seal as these materials will help to ensure a snug fit. Even if your draught excluder is made from the best insulating materials, any gaps or cracks will render it useless.

How do I stop my front door from getting cold air?

Fitting a draught excluder is the easiest and most effective way to prevent cold air from entering your home around the front door. Brush or rubber strips can be fitted to the bottom of your door, helping to keep warm air in and cold draughts out. If you have a letterbox, you should also fit draught-excluding strips around it as they are common culprits for letting cold air into the home.
