Description
Professional Perimeter Sealing with the FS5/50 50mm Brush Draught Excluder 3M Length Aluminium Carrier
Large industrial entryways, automated warehouse doors, heavy sliding systems, and commercial gates face relentless exposure to external elements. Wide clearance gaps at the base and perimeters of these openings frequently allow persistent cold draughts, swirling road debris, airborne dust, insects, and light spill to breach building envelopes. Standard rubber compression seals often tear, bind, or fail to bridge uneven concrete floors, causing higher energy expenditure, uncomfortably cold work zones, and rapid equipment wear. Managing these gaps effectively demands a hard wearing, flexible barrier that contours easily across irregular thresholds without adding excessive mechanical friction to moving panels.
The FS5/50 50mm Brush Draught Excluder 3M Length Aluminium Carrier offers an exceptionally durable perimeter sealing solution engineered to resolve these commercial challenges. Built around a dense row of tough Type 6 nylon filaments held securely within an electro galvanised steel spine, this heavy duty brush strip easily sweeps across rough aggregate, textured timber, and pitted metal plates. Its rigid mill finish extruded aluminium carrier mounts flat against vertical door leaves and framework, establishing an impenetrable barrier against wind, acoustic noise, vibration, and dust ingress while retaining outstanding resilience under high cycle operational demands.
Whether fitted to sectional overhead loading doors, hangar leaves, folding partitions, or factory pedestrian gates, this high quality brush seal minimises rattles, balances internal temperatures, and protects machinery bays. Available through Doorfit in convenient three metre profiles, the entire system can be swiftly cut, tailored, and deployed on site to ensure comprehensive protection across any demanding commercial installation.
Step by Step Installation and Field Customisation
Stage 1 Accurate Threshold Survey
Inspect the clearance beneath your door or along perimeter margins throughout its full travel cycle. Measure the opening width carefully to prepare your three metre profile for accurate trimming, verifying that the fifty millimetre filament projection comfortably bridges uneven floor gaps without binding against raised floor sections.
Stage 2 Precision Carrier and Brush Cutting
Slide the steel backed brush strip out of the mill finish extruded aluminium casing. Measure and mark your required span, then trim the aluminium profile cleanly using a standard hacksaw. Cut the internal electro galvanised brush spine with heavy duty wire snips, crimping the metal ends to lock the filaments firmly in place.
Stage 3 Pilot Hole Drilling and Preparation
Reinsert the trimmed brush back into the carrier channel. Mark fixing centres along the thirty-three millimetre aluminium mounting face at regular intervals of approximately three hundred millimetres, and pre-drill pilot holes to suit self tapping screws, wood screws, or pop rivets matching your door substrate material.
Stage 4 Alignment and Secure Fastening
Hold the assembled strip against the door face so the nylon filament tips rest gently against the threshold. Fasten the unit securely with suitable fixings, taking care not to crush the aluminium carrier. Cycle the door multiple times to verify smooth travel, zero resistance, and continuous perimeter contact.
Key Functional Advantages
Investing in high specification perimeter hardware delivers extensive practical dividends for workplace comfort, pest defence, and plant hygiene. The FS5/50 50mm Brush Draught Excluder 3M Length Aluminium Carrier excels across numerous heavy duty applications due to its carefully balanced material construction.
- Premium Type 6 Nylon Bristles Extruded nylon fibres provide exceptional mechanical memory, springing back to their straight profile after repeated deflection across uneven ground or continuous door cycles.
- All Weather Thermal Range Specially formulated filaments maintain structural flexibility from sub-zero conditions down to minus forty degrees Celsius up to high heat environments of one hundred degrees Celsius.
- Robust Galvanised Core Internal core wires and metal backing channels feature heavy electro galvanised steel protection, resisting corrosion and ensuring filament bundles remain anchored during rigorous movement.
- Durable Mill Finish Aluminium The rigid thirty-three millimetre carrier delivers substantial structural support, defending the seal from direct knocks, operational vibration, and structural deflection.
- Multi Barrier Defence Effectively blocks cold air currents, drafts, dust penetration, leaves, pest access, and light leakages around doors, partition walls, and plant equipment.

Versatile Industrial Applications
Because of the ninety degree straight downward orientation of the upright 180 carrier, this brush strip can be installed on almost any flat perimeter surface. Beyond conventional personnel doors, it is commonly specified across sectional overhead doors, industrial roller shutters, sliding timber barn doors, warehouse gates, and partition tracks.
In machinery enclosures and conveyor lines, it operates effectively as an anti-vibration guide, spray baffle, or static retainer. It cushions movement while preventing debris and swarf from migrating into delicate working assemblies. When fitted along automated sliding doors, the dense nylon filaments reduce audible rattles caused by sudden wind gusts, establishing a quieter and safer commercial working environment.
