Draught Excluders
Draught excluders prevent cool air from coming in via the small gap under your external doors, helping to keep your property warm. Used alongside insulation, or even just on their own, they act as a type of door insulation, preventing heat transfer. A door brush strip, which can be fitted across the bottom of a door frame, and draught excluders for windows act as a barrier to prevent warm air escaping, and cold air coming in. They can even help to reduce heating bills and improve your energy performance rating. They are also a great solution for external and garage doors.
What is thermal bridging?
Thermal bridges happen at joins or junctions, or where insulation needs to be carefully cut around doors and windows. Because these areas are more prone to thermal bridging, adding fixtures like draught excluders help to retain heat being lost.
What is the difference between insulation and draught proofing?
While insulation can block off gaps and cracks, its primary function is to slow down heat transfer through other materials in the building envelope. Draught proofing consists of installing specialist products like draught excluders and weather strips that directly seal off any crevices letting cold air inside. For optimum energy efficiency, you should install sufficient insulation alongside proper draught proofing.
Draught excluders can also be applied to single glazed and sash windows, where small gaps can allow cold air to enter a property. If you own a period property, it can be worth investing in a weather seal kit. Easy to apply at home, this offers excellent protection against rain and draughts. With brands such as Stormguard, Exitex, and XL Joinery, you will have plenty of options to choose from to ensure your building stays warm and draught-free!
