Fitting a door draught excluder gives you a few options. Door draught excluders come in a couple different general types –
Inside compression door draught excluders –
These are designed to fit in-between the door and the frame. As the door closes it compresses the door draught excluder and forms a tight seal.
Outside wiper type seals
These work against the door to form the seal. They can be very useful for doors, which are out of shape or warped slightly as they can be adjusted to suit the profile of the door.
There are also specially designed letterbox draught excluders, which can keep the draught from coming through if your letterbox is fitted directly into your front door. These are available in a wide variety and can usually be found to match of complement your door.
As a final touch you may also like to add a keyhole cover. These again can be found to suit your style of door and can be a very effective final touch.
Of course, you don’t want your house to be unventilated. Plan your ventilation for safety, but have it coming in where it is designed.
Fitting these devices is an easy DIY job and can start saving you money on the heating bills from day one.
