Description
Effective Draught Protection for Draughty Doors and Windows
Cold draughts whistling through windows and external doors are one of the most frustrating causes of heat loss in British properties. Small gaps around frames allow costly warmth to escape during chilly winter months, forcing heating systems to work overtime while leaving rooms uncomfortable and unevenly heated. In older timber frames, seasonal movement often widens these margins, while metal casements can develop minor warping that lets in both biting winds and outside street noise. Finding a reliable, tidy solution that seals these uneven gaps without requiring complex joinery or specialist tools is essential for maintaining comfort and lowering utility bills.
The Seal N Save 5 Metre Roll Self Adhesive Brown P Draught Strip from Stormguard provides an immediate, practical remedy for poorly sealed frames. Designed specifically to compress into gaps ranging from 3mm to 5.5mm, this self adhesive P profile strip creates a resilient barrier against cold air, wind driven dust, and light moisture ingress. The discreet brown finish blends naturally against stained wood, dark composite materials, and powder coated metal frames, ensuring that your weatherproofing efforts do not compromise the finished appearance of your living space.
Manufactured with a durable closed cell structure, the extrusion resists tearing and maintains its spring back recovery over years of repeated opening and closing. The pre-applied self adhesive backing bonds firmly to clean surfaces, eliminating the need for tacking nails, screws, or messy chemical glues. Whether you are managing seasonal home maintenance or refreshing the insulation across an entire rental portfolio, this five metre roll delivers dependable performance from day one.
Key Features and Everyday Benefits
Resilient P Profile Cushioning
The unique hollow bulb of the P profile compresses smoothly under closing pressure, accommodating variations in gap width along the frame edge. As the door or sash closes, the rounded bulb flattens to block air infiltration, then springs back instantly when opened without taking a permanent flat set.
High Tack Self Adhesive Backing
Equipped with an industrial grade adhesive strip, the Seal N Save 5 Metre Roll Self Adhesive Brown P Draught Strip bonds instantly to wood, aluminium, and composite frames. The peel off release paper allows for steady alignment and smooth application along narrow rebates without slippage.
Subtle Natural Brown Aesthetic
The rich brown shade coordinates seamlessly with stained hardwood, timber grain finishes, and modern architectural finishes. Rather than drawing the eye with stark contrasting lines, the seal sits neatly inside door rebates and window frame recesses for an unobtrusive profile.
Thermal and Acoustic Cushioning
Beyond preventing cold draughts and lowering heating costs, the resilient rubber cushioning dampens the sound of slamming doors. It also significantly reduces external street noise, rattling vibrations caused by heavy traffic, and the ingress of blowing airborne dust.
Simple Four Stage Installation Guide
Stage 1 Surface Preparation
Ensure the door or window frame rebate is completely clean, dry, and free of grease, dust, or peeling paint. Wipe the surface down with a clean lint free cloth and methylated spirit, then allow it to dry thoroughly before beginning work.
Stage 2 Accurate Measuring
Measure the internal rebate dimensions of your frame accurately using a steel tape. Cut the strip to the required lengths using sharp household scissors, cutting straight across the profile to produce neat square ends that butt together flush at every corner.
Stage 3 Controlled Alignment
Peel back approximately fifteen centimetres of the protective backing paper from the start of the roll. Position the flat adhesive edge precisely against the rebate shoulder, pressing it firmly into place while working progressively down the frame without stretching the rubber strip.
Stage 4 Final Bond Pressure
Once the full length is positioned, run your thumb or a clean cloth firmly down the entire strip to ensure full surface contact. Close the door or window gently to confirm smooth operation and verify that the latch engages securely without excessive binding.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many rolls do I need for a standard entrance door?
A standard UK external door measures approximately 1981mm high by 762mm wide, requiring around 4.7 metres of seal to cover both side jambs and the top head. One single five metre roll is generally sufficient to draught proof one complete door frame, leaving a small surplus for neat corner trimming.
Can this seal be applied to painted wood?
Yes, it adheres well to sound gloss, satin, and eggshell paint finishes. Make sure the paint is fully cured and firmly bonded to the wood, as loose or flaking paint will prevent the adhesive from maintaining a strong hold.
Will the seal stop my door from closing properly?
The P profile is designed to compress gently down to 3mm. As long as your frame gap falls within the recommended 3mm to 5.5mm range, the door will close smoothly and latch securely without needing extra force.
