Draft Excluders

Draft excluders block the passage of cold air, noise, and dust through the gap at the base or sides of doors, making them one of the most straightforward and cost-effective ways to improve energy efficiency and comfort in any home. With 25 products in our range, McMahons stocks a comprehensive selection of draught exclusion solutions for domestic and light commercial applications across all common door types and floor finishes.

Our Draft Excluders Range

• Door bottom excluders - adhesive or screw-fixed strips that attach to the bottom of the door leaf and sweep or compress against the floor surface when the door is closed, available in options suited to carpeted and hard floor surfaces.
• Automatic door bottom seals - drop-down seal mechanisms that retract when the door opens and lower automatically when it closes, providing a seal without brush drag - ideal for acoustic applications and smooth floor finishes.
• Foam and brush perimeter excluders - self-adhesive foam or brush pile strips for fitting to door frames and rebates, compressing against the door edge to seal the perimeter gap around the door face.
• Letter box excluders - brush or flap-style draught excluders for fitting behind letter box openings to prevent cold air ingress through the plate aperture.
• Threshold excluders - low-profile threshold strips that seal the gap at the base of the door opening on the floor surface, suitable for both inward and outward opening doors.

Browse our Door Seals for frame perimeter sealing, or our full Accessories range for door stops, wardrobe fittings, and window hardware.

When selecting a draft excluder, consider the gap size beneath the door, the floor surface type, and whether you need a product that remains stationary when the door is open or one that retracts automatically. For external doors in high-exposure locations, choose a product specifically rated for weatherproofing.
