Under-door brush seal - where can I buy?

[agulesin]

Dear All,

Our porch door threshold has a slot on the top surface towards the inside which I assume is for some kind of sealing strip. The slot is 5mm wide x 15mm deep.

Googling brought up these sealing strips from Australia but I want to know whether something like the DS-13 strip is available in the UK - so far I've only found strips with a fixing "flap" on the back, thus making them too deep for the slot. What about seals for UPVC windows? will they be OK? The gap between door-threshold is about 5-6mm.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Stephen

hi,

try with http://www.maco.eu/uk-en/ brush seals

Thanks but can't find anything on there, nor in the catalogue. Am I barking up the wrong tree I wonder?

Only this: "PVC brush gasket for HS gasket track L = 50m black" don't need 50 meters...

Look at:

http://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/products/seals_for_doors_and_windows

Choose "brush seals".
Guess which is the right size, then throw away the aluminium carrier and keep the brush.

(If you can find somewhere that sells just the brush part, I suspect it will be in 50m reels.)

Thanks endecotp, just what I was looking for!

Also, they say "The bristle inserts are available separately for grooving into swing doors;" JWTDO

(Just discovered them on Screwfix as well: http://www.screwfix.com/p/stormguard-heavy-duty-brush-seal-aluminium-0-91m/14354)
