Draught Excluders

Collection: Buy Draught Excluders on Sale

Draughts under doors are one of the most common causes of heat loss in UK homes, and often one of the easiest to fix. Rather than a full draught-proofing job involving tape or brushes fitted to the door frame, a freestanding draught excluder simply sits along the bottom of the door and blocks the gap where cold air gets in, making it a genuinely effective option for anyone renting or reluctant to alter their doors permanently. It's a small change that can make a noticeable difference to how a room feels, particularly through hallways, front doors and older windows where gaps tend to be more common.

Do draught excluders actually work?

Yes, a well-fitted draught excluder genuinely does reduce the flow of cold air into a room, and it's one of the simplest ways to cut draughts without any DIY. For the best results, choose one long and full enough to sit flush along the whole width of your door, as a gap at either end will let cold air through regardless of how good the excluder itself is. Shoppers often ask whether draught excluders work on windows as well as doors, and while they're designed primarily for doors, a similar-shaped excluder can be used along the bottom of a window sill if draughts are coming from there too. It's also worth considering pairing a draught excluder with other draught-proofing measures rather than relying on it alone, particularly on external doors that see a lot of daily use. For a fuller solution on external or hallway doors, our door curtains add an extra layer of insulation as well as style, and our thermal curtains are worth considering for windows in older or draughtier rooms. If you're refreshing the room more generally, our decorative accessories range has further pieces to complete the look.
