Product Information

The most common type of draught excluder you’ll see is one that sits across the bottom of a door. Typically, it will be the same length as the door and tube-shaped (hence a draught excluder is also known as a door sausage or door snake). You might also come across them in a rectangular or triangle shape.

The right draught excluder for you will depend on your needs - specifically the source of your draught and the type of heat loss you are experiencing. Here are some things to consider when making your choice: To help you ensure your comfort and health, B&M Stores have curated a great range of high-quality insulation and draught excluders – including letter box covers, radiator foils, and under door draught excluders.
