Description
Protect Your Home with the Exitex Fns Gold Flex N Seal Draught Excluder Door Set
External doorways are naturally vulnerable to cold weather, blustery wind, and driving rain. Even a tiny opening around the perimeter of an entrance door can cause persistent chills, leading to heat escaping from your hallway and higher central heating bills during the colder months. The Exitex Fns Gold Flex N Seal Draught Excluder Door Set delivers a sturdy, long lasting solution designed to eliminate perimeter gaps cleanly and securely.
Engineered by Exitex, an industry leader known for dependable weatherproofing hardware, this complete perimeter sealing set combines a robust aluminium carrier with a resilient, flexible gasket. By choosing a mechanical screw fixing method rather than relying on standard sticky adhesive foam, this door surround seal remains securely anchored to your timber frame throughout changing seasonal weather, repeated daily door slams, and regular household foot traffic.
Featuring an elegant gold finish, this system complements classic brass architectural ironmongery, warm oak joinery, and traditional timber entrance doors. Supplied in a generous 5180mm pack length, it provides ample material to cover both side jambs and the head frame of virtually any standard domestic external doorway. Available directly through Doorfit, it represents an outstanding upgrade for ongoing home refurbishment, draught proofing, and joinery maintenance.

Mechanical Screw Fix Reliability
Many quick fix draught seals rely entirely on self adhesive tape. While simple to press into place initially, stick on foam regularly peels away after exposure to winter moisture, humidity changes, and repetitive friction against the door leaf. Once an adhesive seal detaches, it quickly creates unsightly dangling strips and allows bitter draughts to enter unchecked.
The Flex n Seal system overcomes this common frustration by using positive mechanical fasteners. Screwed directly into the timber frame stop, the rigid carrier holds fast year after year. It stays straight, resists accidental knocks, and will not dislodge when family members or delivery couriers brush past the entryway.
Durable Weather and Rain Barrier
Air infiltration is not the only issue facing external doors. Strong crosswinds can push surface moisture right across the perimeter threshold and around the door rebate, leading to damp timber frames, ruined interior paintwork, and damaged hallway floorboards.
The flexible sealing profile within this set acts as a resilient buffer. When the door closes, it gently compresses against the face of the timber, blocking moisture ingress, preventing air whistle, and buffering exterior street noise so your living space stays peaceful, dry, and comfortably warm.
Understanding Perimeter Sealing Dynamics
Timber doors naturally breathe throughout the seasons. During wet autumn and winter spells, solid wood tends to absorb atmospheric humidity and expand slightly. In hot dry summers, the timber contracts. This natural cycle means the gap between your door face and the surrounding frame is rarely completely uniform all year round.
The Exitex Fns Gold Flex N Seal Draught Excluder Door Set is purpose built to compensate for these subtle seasonal movements. The elastomeric sealing lip provides continuous recovery, expanding to fill wider gaps during dry weather and compressing smoothly when the timber swells. Because it accommodates normal movement, you will not have to force the door latch shut or shoulder the door open when the seasons change.
Furthermore, keeping cold air out significantly reduces interior condensation. When warm indoor air meets freezing perimeter gaps on untreated doorways, water droplets readily form on metal handles and nearby wallpaper. Sealing the surround stabilizes the ambient temperature near the frame, keeping interior finishes in top condition.
Warm Traditional Gold Aesthetic
Selecting draught proofing for period properties, country cottages, or classic red brick homes requires attention to decorative detail. Bright mill finish aluminium can look cold and out of place against rich hardwood frames and antique brass ironmongery.
The rich gold anodised carrier of this model coordinates naturally with polished brass handles, letter plates, and rim locks. Installed discreetly along the internal door stop, it adds a polished, refined edge that looks intentional rather than like an afterthought.
Generous 5180mm Total Length
Standard timber entrance doors typically measure roughly two metres in height and around eight hundred millimetres in width. This equates to an approximate perimeter requirement of just under five metres for the top header and two vertical sides.
Exitex supplies this kit with 5180mm of material, offering ample length to cover full height doors, oversized front entrances, or slightly broader utility frames. Simply measure each section accurately, cut neatly with a fine toothed hacksaw, and enjoy a cohesive custom fit.
Practical Installation Guidelines for Best Results
Installing your new perimeter draught excluder is a straightforward task for competent DIY homeowners, carpenters, and maintenance technicians. Taking a few simple steps during preparation ensures the seal performs at its absolute best.
- Prepare the Frame Begin by inspecting the timber frame rebate. Strip away old cracked foam strips, pull out lingering tack nails, and sand smooth any uneven paint build ups so you have a flat, solid foundation.
- Measure the Head First Measure the top horizontal frame head. Mark and cut the first carrier piece to exact size using a fine toothed hacksaw, smoothing away any sharp cut edges with a light metal file.
- Check Door Contact Hold the cut head seal against the door stop while the door is closed and latched. Position the flexible lip so it lightly compresses against the door face without putting heavy drag on the lock mechanism.
- Fit the Vertical Sides Once the top piece is secured, measure the left and right upright jambs from the floor up to the underside of the newly fitted head seal, cutting both pieces to length.
- Final Hardware Check Secure the lengths into place using suitable screws. Test the door operation several times. The door should latch closed cleanly without needing to be forced, creating an unbroken perimeter barrier against the cold.

Versatile Practical Applications
The resilient design of the Flex n Seal kit makes it a prime candidate for numerous property scenarios. Homeowners looking to tackle high energy bills can rapidly reduce draughts across primary entrance ways, kitchen side doors, and back utility exits. Its unobtrusive profile sits neatly against older timber frames where slight bowing or minor warping might prevent the door leaf from seating flush against the original frame stop.
For landlords, facilities managers, and property developers, mechanical screw fixing offers low maintenance peace of mind. While adhesive products often need replacing between tenancies due to tearing or adhesive failure, a securely fastened aluminium carrier withstands heavy tenant usage and regular cleaning.
Whether you are refreshing a traditional Victorian townhouse front entrance, upgrading a draughty cottage side entrance, or installing a replacement seal after joinery repainting, this system provides the weather protection, neat visual line, and long working life you require.
