Velvet Draught Excluder French Patio Door Extra Long Soft Draft Stopper 3ft (Burgundy)

Product Information

Draught excluders come in a variety of forms, each tailored to different door types and homeowner preference. Another important consequence of having an energy efficient home, however, is that it’ll save you money. It might sound obvious, but shutting the internal doors between your external door and living spaces will do wonders in helping to keep spaces warm. If your French doors open out onto a sufficiently robust conservatory, this might be less of a concern, but for most of us, it is. Make sure to measure your door length and width, as well as the depth of the gap that needs sealing, to get the right type, amount and size of excluder.

This would account for why our lounge felt as cold as it did; outside air and potentially water was getting under the door sill, bypassing the door itself and the DPC. For the most part, this energy will come from burning fossil fuels which contribute to man-made climate change. We have an extensive selection of thresholds that meet disabled and easy access requirements for Part M of the building regulations for mobility, PAS 24 performance testing, BS6375-1:2009 and Part Q of the building regulations 2010 secure by design. As winter approaches, the unwelcome chill often finds its way into our homes through gaps in doors, transforming warm havens into draughty spaces. Our most popular retail items include seasonal double glazing film and insulated outdoor tap covers.Your choice largely depends on your specific needs, the type of door, and your aesthetic preferences. The former option is well worth exploring, as with just a little bit of money and effort you’ll be able to vastly improve the energy-retaining performance of the door. Whilst adjusting the lounge doors we spot a manufacturing defect in the side light which is a fixed panel. The soft and cosy cover is designed in a beautiful carved diamond pattern to not only provides practical insulation but also to add a touch of style to compliment any decor.

We convinced ourselves that we were cold only because the house would take some time to warm up: the heating had only just been switched on, the house was still drying out, we had left the doors open for two days when moving in, our furniture was cold from 3-months in storage – there was a convincing list of reasons why, in the first few weeks of our residency, the house was not as warm as expected. What I wanted to do was compare draughty doors with non draughty doors to see the differences in surface temperatures. Not a great argument to convince her to change the sliding doors to something more modern and warmer. Identify the main sources of draughts in your home, be it windows or doors, to choose an excluder that suits the location.They were dismissed with the comment that calibration of a thermal camera was important so my images could not be relied on. The glass in our triple glazing does keep a better temperature but the door threshold temperatures looks worse. Not only are these ratings more understandable, they cover the performance of your entire unit – whether that’s a window, door or something else. When on the lookout for the perfect draught excluder, certain factors come into play to ensure you make an informed choice. When taking thermal images you tend to forget that it records both a thermal and a normal image; I didn’t ensure the light levels were sufficient for a standard picture.
