Description
Reliable Barrier Sealing with the FS3/17 Brush Draught Excluder
Managing air leakage and ambient stability across busy commercial doorways, domestic thresholds, or industrial workshop entries can prove difficult over time. When large gaps open up beneath inward opening doors or along perimeter frames, unconditioned outside breezes quickly push heating and cooling bills higher while letting in road grit, fine debris, and unwanted moisture. Rattling doors also create annoying acoustic disturbances during blustery weather, wearing down mechanical latches and disrupting calm working environments.
The FS3/17 17mm Brush Draught Excluder 3M Length Aluminium Carrier provides an immediate, long term remedy to these ongoing insulation headaches. Featuring densely packed Type 6 nylon filaments locked firmly into an electro galvanised steel spine, this robust sweep effortlessly cushions contact points and seals irregularities up to 17mm deep. By matching dense filament clusters with a clean mill finish aluminium backing profile, it keeps wind, driving leaves, outdoor noise, and stray light completely outside.
Supplied in generous three metre lengths, this profile gives trade fitters and facility managers ample continuous material to seal wide double entry sets, automated sliding tracks, commercial roller shutters, and bespoke timber joinery. Because both the metal carrier and inner core can be adapted using straightforward hand tools, you get a clean fit every time without having to compromise on insulation performance or building protection.
Installation and Practical Application Stages
Stage 1 Measuring and Dimensioning
Carefully measure your threshold opening or frame perimeter to determine the exact length needed. Take into consideration any uneven floor tiles or high carpet zones to make sure the 17mm nylon filaments contact the surface smoothly without causing heavy drag or sticking during opening cycles.
Stage 2 Trimming Carrier and Core
Cut the extruded aluminium carrier cleanly using a fine tooth hacksaw. Slide the interior steel backed brush strip out slightly, snip through the metal spine and core wire with durable side cutters, and crimp the exposed ends to keep every nylon filament securely seated.
Stage 3 Aligning Carrier Position
Offer the carrier flat against the lower face or jamb rebate of the closed door. Adjust the vertical position so the bristles touch the floor lightly, providing consistent draught protection across the entire width while leaving operating latches free from excess friction.
Stage 4 Mechanical Fixing
Drill neat pilot holes through the 22mm aluminium profile at standard fixing centres. Fasten the strip down tight using appropriate wood screws, self drilling fasteners, or rivets suited to your door substrate, ensuring the extrusion sits completely flat without bow or twist.
Stage 5 Final Clearance Checks
Swing or slide the door through its complete movement path to check for pinch points. If you encounter raised flooring transitions, fine tune the brush edge with sharp heavy duty shears to maintain balanced travel across the full sweep.
Key Functional Advantages
The FS3/17 17mm Brush Draught Excluder 3M Length Aluminium Carrier brings practical architectural utility to everyday maintenance projects. Engineered to withstand heavy commercial use, it provides multiple practical benefits for modern properties.
- Superior Memory Filaments High performance Type 6 nylon fibres rebound automatically after heavy deflection, avoiding permanent splay and guaranteeing a snug closure over thousands of continuous door operations.
- All Weather Thermal Resistance Formulated to maintain full flexibility across a broad temperature range between minus 40 and plus 100 degrees Celsius, this draught strip will not snap during freezing winters or soften during high summer heatwaves.
- Corrosion Resistant Construction The electro galvanised steel spine combined with a mill finish extruded aluminium casing ensures high resistance to surface oxidation, humidity, and coastal weather conditions.
- Acoustic and Light Attenuation Dense bristle grouping helps disrupt sound transmission across open perimeter gaps, while also screening out light bleeds around darkrooms, testing spaces, and recording rooms.
- Versatile Retainer Functionality Beyond general door sealing, this profile works smoothly as a machinery cable guide, dust barrier on sliding industrial tracks, and anti rattle cushion for loose fitting gates.
