JML Navy Seal - The ultimate waterproof repair tape

Product Information

One of the more cost-effective options on the list, this door brush draught excluder is particularly common and useful for fixing up draughty external doors. The bristles can be cut to fit against the doorframe or floor, allowing it to sweep gently when opened, without dragging across the floor. We love discovering new ideas at JML and, for over three decades, our passion has been seeking out clever ideas to solve some of life’s little problems. Draught location – Consider the location from where cool air is getting into your home. If the issue is mainly draughty windows, or draught from the side of a door, foam tape that you can cut to size and place anywhere will be the best option.

The only downside to this particular draught excluder is that it isn’t machine washable, which can be an issue for an item that will collect dirt from spending all its time on the floor. Nevertheless, treated delicately and dusted on its outside every so often, this shouldn’t be a big problem.

Specifically, they stated that one of the reports measured air flow as 0.52 metres per second (m/s) without the tape and as 0.003 m/s when the tape had been applied. They also referred to the thermal imagery and stated that the report showed that, when the tape was applied, the door was warmer. As a result, they concluded that the tape performed effectively and preventing draughts and heat loss.

We also noted that the thermal imagery in this study used the ‘Ironbow’ colour palette, which differed from the ‘Rainbow’ colour palette used in the ad. We noted from the two reports supplied by JML that different colour palettes could be applied to the same thermal image, and that whilst the same results would be reflected in the images, different colour ranges were used to display the information. However, we understood that the Rainbow palette utilised a wider variety of colours and was commonly used to differentiate between minimal heat differences. As such, we considered that the contrast between the before and after images in the ad may have appeared more dramatic than the reality of the temperature difference.Also available are double-sided door snakes, which have cushioning on either side of a flat part in the middle, which slides under your door. This offers draught protection on both sides. For external doors, there are brush-style excluders that allow for natural ventilation while stopping draughts. The bristles in this type are particularly useful in those instances where the floor is uneven. 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. READ NEXT: Best oil-filled radiator The best draught excluders you can buy in 2023 1.
