rubber draught excluder

Tom. · 17 Nov 2004

Any idea where I can buy the rubber draught excluders for external doors (timber)?

The cross-section is a circle, with an upwards pointing arrow on top. The 'arrow' fits into a groove on the edge of the doorframe, so that when the door is closed, it compresses the circular bit between the outside edge of the door and the inside edge of the frame, and stops the cold air getting in. It fits right around the door frame, except the floor.

IIRC, its quite hard to push the 'arrow' into the groove, last time I used a blunt screwdriver to do it.

Tried B&Q, a massive new one near me, no luck. Also looked on screwfix, but can't find them.

Is it the top right hand picture ?

Yeah, thats right. The groove is about 3mm wide. Many thanks for the help, do you know where I can buy some (online is ok).

Ring them for a sample before you buy, click onto "Bead Extrusions"

www.kopak-walker.co.uk

Your local double glazing shop should be able to order some for you.

you could try www.axminster.co.uk as i got some from there, very prompt delivery, about £10 a roll, enough for two door frames i think

When you got yours from Axminster where did you find it on their website. Ive searched for "BEAD EXTRUSIONS" and nothing comes back.

Thanks.

to tell the truth i had the same problem as the original questioner some time ago and someone thoughtfully provided th link from the query when i asked it on the screwfix site. I will try and find it for you. I have to admit i struggle with axminsters search engine.

found it, blimey didnt realise i asked the question that long ago! Go to the axminster site and put in either of the following code numbers in the search engine and they should come up:-

A63B10

A21B10

Hope it helps. I have seen it in wickes as well for about the same price, but the last time i was in there i couldnt see it again!
