Description
Eliminate Chilly Draughts with Reliable Perimeter Sealing
Unsealed gaps around exterior windows and doors remain one of the primary causes of uncomfortable draughts and needless heat loss across British homes. As timber frames naturally warp or settlement alters door alignments over the seasons, small clearance gaps expand. This lets brisk winds, roadside dust, and damp moisture seep directly into your living spaces. Trying to warm a home with persistent air leaks places unnecessary strain on your central heating, which pushes energy bills up while rooms remain uncomfortably cold.
The Stormguard 5 Metre Roll Self Adhesive Brown V Seal Draught Strip delivers a quick, tidy, and highly durable answer to these perimeter air leaks. Engineered with a flexible folding profile, this resilient seal is designed to bridge varying gaps between 1mm and 8mm around both wooden and metal frameworks. Because windows and doors often shift subtly as they age, the expanding V profile flexes to fit irregular margins, ensuring continuous contact along every edge without stopping doors or sashes from latching smoothly.
Manufactured with a high tack self adhesive backing, installation requires no specialist carpentry tools, pin nails, or complicated hardware. The subtle brown finish blends effortlessly against stained timber, wood effect composite doors, and dark metallic frames, giving you a clean, unobtrusive finish that preserves the look of your home while keeping interiors warm, dry, and peaceful.
Key Features and Practical Benefits
Adaptive Gap Coverage
The intelligent folding V shape comfortably bridges variable gap sizes from 1mm up to 8mm. This elasticity ensures a consistent thermal barrier even along warped frames where traditional flat foam strips struggle to maintain contact.
Simple Self Adhesive Fitting
Equipped with a long-lasting adhesive backing, the strip bonds firmly to clean timber, aluminium, steel, and uPVC surfaces. You can complete an entire door or window frame in minutes using just a pair of household scissors.
Discrete Brown Finish
Designed to complement rich hardwood surfaces, oak stain finishes, and dark powder coated frames. The brown profile sits neatly out of view within the rebate, delivering high thermal efficiency without standing out visually.
Generous Roll Length
Each roll supplies 5 metres of continuous seal, which is plenty of material to fully enclose a standard single external door frame or several small opening window casements, reducing waste across your DIY draught proofing projects.
Step by Step Installation Guide
Step 1 Surface Preparation
Thoroughly clean the door or window rebate where the seal will be placed. Wipe away all loose paint, dirt, sawdust, and grease using methylated spirits or a suitable degreaser, then allow the surface to dry fully before you begin.
Step 2 Measuring and Cutting
Carefully measure the height and width of each section of the frame rebate. Unroll the Stormguard 5 Metre Roll Self Adhesive Brown V Seal Draught Strip and use sharp scissors or a utility knife to cut each section to the exact length required.
Step 3 Alignment and Application
Peel away a small portion of the protective backing paper. Position the strip so the point of the V faces the door or window face, then press the adhesive strip firmly along the frame, removing the backing paper steadily as you move along.
Step 4 Final Bonding and Testing
Apply steady, firm pressure along the entire length of the strip with your thumb or a clean cloth to set the adhesive bond. Gently close the window or door to confirm that the seal flexes smoothly and latches firmly without jamming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this strip be used on both doors and windows?
Yes, this seal is designed for both casement windows and outward or inward swinging doors made of timber, metal, or composite materials. As long as your clearance gap falls between 1mm and 8mm, the V shape will compress and seal cleanly.
Will the seal hinder my door from closing properly?
No, the lightweight V profile compresses under gentle pressure, creating a snug perimeter seal without placing undue resistance on standard latch mechanisms or door handles.
How do I get the adhesive to stick firmly?
Adhesion depends heavily on a clean, dry surface. Always wash down the frame rebate to eliminate surface oils, dust, or flaky paint. For the best bond, apply the strip at room temperature and press firmly along every centimetre.
