Eliminate Chilly Breezes with the Stormguard Slikseal Brown Brush A.D.S Draught Excluder Set
When the weather outside turns bitter, keeping your home warm and welcoming should be effortless. Cold air has a way of creeping through the smallest gaps around timber doors and frames, causing unpleasant draughts, sudden drops in room temperature, and higher heating bills. The Stormguard Slikseal Brown Brush A.D.S Draught Excluder Set provides a clean, highly reliable, and straightforward solution to block out intrusive air currents and create a much cosier indoor living space.
Supplied as a complete three-piece kit designed to fit neatly around the door perimeter, this system protects both side jambs and the top head of the frame. The resilient, hardwearing brown PVC carrier houses dense polypropylene brush filaments that reach into gaps up to 7mm wide. Whether you are refurbishing an older property with uneven frames or upgrading a modern home, this kit adapts smoothly to your woodwork, sealing out cold draughts, street dust, and external debris with genuine ease.
Available directly from Doorfit, this quality weatherproofing solution blends discreetly into dark timber, mahogany, and painted wood finishes. It stops intrusive breezes without spoiling the authentic look of your doorway, making it an essential everyday upgrade for any home improvement project.

Why Choose the Around The Door System
Standard draught strips often rely solely on compressed rubber or foam that can harden, perish, or lose its spring over time. The around the door system in the Stormguard Slikseal Brown Brush A.D.S Draught Excluder Set uses hundreds of densely packed polypropylene filaments instead. These flexible bristles compress smoothly against the door face as it closes, creating an effective barrier that does not drag or hinder the closing action.
Because the bristles bend independently, they naturally accommodate minor warps, slight twists, and uneven edges common in wooden frames. You get continuous protection along the entire length of the jamb without needing to re-hang the door or make adjustments to the latch.
Versatile Practical Applications
While this kit is primarily built for standard inward opening front and back doors, its adaptable design makes it useful across the home. You can fit these brush strips to draughty sliding sash windows where timber rattles against the frame, instantly calming vibrations and blocking wind whistling through the sash meeting rails.
Loft hatches are another common source of sudden heat loss in hallways and landings. By mounting these strips around the perimeter of the hatch access opening, you can halt rising warm air from escaping into the cold roof void, keeping upper floors noticeably warmer throughout the winter months.
Everyday Benefits and Performance Features
Upgrading your draught proofing yields immediate returns in comfort and household efficiency. Installing the Stormguard Slikseal Brown Brush A.D.S Draught Excluder Set introduces several practical improvements to your living environment.
- Effective Gap Sealing Accommodates irregular gaps up to 7mm wide, filling uneven clearance spaces between the door edge and timber casing.
- Cold Smoke Barrier Functional as a cold smoke seal, helping delay the migration of harmful air and fine particulate smoke along corridors in domestic settings.
- Noise and Dust Reduction Damps external traffic rumble and quietens the sound of wind while keeping street dust and airborne allergens outside.
- Smooth Door Operation Low friction bristles sweep gently against door faces without sticking, squeaking, or preventing latches from engaging properly.
- Quick and Simple Customisation Lightweight PVC carriers can be quickly trimmed to exact door dimensions using a basic junior hacksaw and wire cutters.
The subtle brown finish complements traditional dark wood doors, stained timber frames, and brown composite doors, giving a neat finish that looks like a natural extension of your home joinery.

Step by Step Installation Guide
Fitting this kit does not require specialist carpentry tools or professional assistance. With basic household equipment, you can have your door completely sealed in under thirty minutes.
- Prepare the Frame Close your door fully and check that it latches comfortably. Wipe down the timber stops around the frame to clear away loose dust, grease, or peeling paint so the strip can sit flush.
- Measure the Top Header Measure the width along the top horizontal frame stop. Take the 914mm length, mark the required size with a pencil, and cut through the PVC casing using a fine-toothed hacksaw. Trim the inner brush filaments with pliers or wire cutters for a clean, sharp finish.
- Secure the Top Strip Position the cut strip along the top door stop so the brown brush tips rest lightly against the closed door face. Using the supplied fixing pins and a small hammer, pin the strip into place from the centre working outward.
- Measure and Fit the Side Jambs Measure the height on each side from the sill or threshold right up to the underside of the top strip. Measure each side individually as older door frames often vary slightly in height. Cut both 2057mm lengths to suit.
- Fasten Side Profiles Hold the vertical pieces in place against the door face. Lightly tap the fixing pins into the pre-marked fixing points along the casing, making sure the bristles form a continuous seal along the corners without buckling.
- Test the Operation Open and close the door several times to check that the latch engages naturally and that the brush creates an unbroken barrier without snagging against the timber.
Long Term Maintenance and Care
Once fixed in place, the hardwearing PVC carrier and synthetic bristles require minimal attention to keep performing year after year. Polypropylene is naturally resistant to moisture, rot, and mildew, which means it will not degrade even if exposed to damp draughts near external entrances.
To clean the system, simply run a vacuum brush attachment gently along the bristles during routine cleaning to remove accumulated cobwebs and lint. If the brown PVC carrier picks up dirt from shoes or pets, wipe it over with a damp cloth and mild household detergent. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, which could weaken the plastic profile.
A well-fitted draught excluder pays for itself quickly by keeping expensive warmth inside your living areas and stopping cold air currents at your front door.
