Proper Copper Draught Excluder
Strip 6 Metre Roll including all Fixings
Proper copper draught strip cuts down draughts in a traditional home, without spoiling its appearance. Simply installed, it stands alone in combining reliable effectiveness with the aesthetic charm of copper, a material used in buildings for thousands of years. It is suitable for use with most timber windows and doors.
Installation
Ensure that the door is correctly fitted. The gap between the door and frame should exceed 2mm. Remove paint runs, filler nails etc., from the surface to which the strip is to be fitted. Cut separate lengths for each jamb and the head. Nail in position using the indents in the strip. The strip may be sprung so that it makes contact with the door on closing using a ballpoint pen or similar shaped tool. Run the tool along the springing line, which is visible adjacent to the pin line, adjusting the pressure exerted in order to achieve the desired degree of lift.
The 25mm wide strip is the standard door type. We also offer the 14mm width which is suitable for casement windows / french doors / windows (closing overlaps).
What do our customers think of this product...
This has worked when the other methods (foam plastic) haven't. The supplied nails work really well in piercing the prepunched markings on the copper. There is now no perceived draught around the side door of my house even when it is windy. - SJ
Great product. Just what I wanted.No more draughts. Arrived on time.I would recommend this product to anyone who has a wooden door. - JB
The delivery was excellent. Arrived so quickly I didn't have time to turn around. Would certainly buy from these people again. It was exactly as described. - SL
I was so pleased when this arrived. So pleased too that an internet hunt revealed that these products still exist, although they are hard to find on the High Street. Excellent product and service. - RF
I've tried most of the alternatives and was somewhat sceptical when I approached this product but (after one of the coldest winters on record) I'm able to report that this solution works very well indeed. It's not the easiest to fit, although I did get better (and faster) as fitting progressed to such an extent that I'm now considering re-fitting my earlier efforts (that will require new excluder as you cannot really re-use the product). I would even go as far as to say that I was rather enjoying myself whilst installing it once I got into the swing of things! I found holding the nails by pushing them through a thick piece of card, then holding the card in position rather than attempting to hold the tiny nail in place helped to save my thumbs (a pair of long nosed pliers would do the same job!).
Overall, highly recommended; just make sure that you leave yourself plenty of time for the fitting and have some arnica gel on standby for the sore thumbs! - GW
Have used this product "Atomic Strip" before at a previous house so knew it is good at it's job. Prompt delivery. Easy to fit so long as you have a tacking hammer. - TC
I ordered this product at about 3:00 pm and had it at 9:30 the next morning. Nothing else works as well in period homes. - BB
Great product, really works well - the old ideas often prove to be the best! - SJ
