Keep Your Home Warm and Draft Free with Stormguard Slikseal
Cold draughts can make even the most comfortable living space feel chilly, unwelcoming, and expensive to heat. If you notice a persistent breeze around the edges of your front door, internal doors, or windows, you are losing valuable warmth every single day. The Stormguard Slikseal White Brush A.D.S Draught Excluder Set provides a neat, dependable, and budget friendly way to seal perimeter gaps, retain indoor warmth, and shield your home from unwelcome air movement.
Supplied by Doorfit as a complete three piece kit, this perimeter draught strip is engineered to fit seamlessly around the top and vertical sides of standard residential door frames. Designed with a flexible white PVC housing and a hard wearing polypropylene filament brush, the system gently bridges gaps of up to 7mm without hindering the smooth, natural swing of your door. Whether you live in a modern property that needs a touch of weatherproofing or an older home with slightly warped timber frames, this draught excluder offers an immediate upgrade to your indoor comfort.
Beyond traditional external doors, this versatile sealing strip works wonderfully on sliding sash windows and drop down loft hatches. It also functions as a reliable cold smoke seal, helping to restrict the spread of smoke in domestic spaces during an emergency. Straightforward to cut, simple to mount with the included fixing pins, and clean in appearance, it represents one of the most effective DIY insulation improvements you can make.

High Performance Brush Sealing
The core advantage of using a brush draught strip over a rigid foam or rubber seal lies in its remarkable adaptability. Timber doors naturally expand and contract as humidity levels shift throughout the changing British seasons. Rubber seals can become stiff, cause doors to bind, or make latches stubborn to catch when doors swell in wet weather. In contrast, the fine polypropylene bristles of the Stormguard Slikseal brush flex effortlessly against the door face.
This natural flexibility ensures a complete seal along uneven edges, covering voids up to 7mm without forcing you to push hard to latch the door shut. The brush fibers mesh together to create an impenetrable barrier against wind, dust, outdoor pollen, and intrusive insects. Because the bristles glide smoothly across wood, painted surfaces, and composite skins, you enjoy long term protection without unsightly scuffs or friction marks on your woodwork.
Versatile Multi Surface Application
While commonly fitted to standard inward opening timber front and back doors, the clever slimline geometry of this system makes it suitable for numerous problem spots around your home. It excels as a draught proofing strip on traditional sliding sash windows, where moving timber components frequently let in noticeable air currents without leaving room for bulky seals.
Loft hatches represent another frequent culprit for household heat loss. Installing these lightweight strips around the perimeter of a loft trapdoor prevents warm living room air from rising straight into the unheated roof space. Furthermore, the resilient construction allows the seal to act as an effective cold smoke barrier around internal doors, giving your household extra peace of mind by retarding air and smoke transmission between rooms.
Why Draught Proofing Matters for Modern Homes
Heating costs continue to represent a substantial portion of regular household expenditure across the UK. Often, property owners spend substantial sums upgrading boilers, replacing radiators, or installing smart thermostats, only to have warmth leak straight out through minor frame gaps. A single draughty front door can allow warm air to escape at the same rate as leaving a small window permanently cracked open.
By fitting the Stormguard Slikseal White Brush A.D.S Draught Excluder Set, you immediately eliminate the chill factor caused by cold air infiltration. When cold air is prevented from seeping inside across the floor, your heating system works far more efficiently, reaching your desired thermostat temperature quickly and holding it for much longer periods. Over a single winter season, the savings on domestic energy bills can easily outweigh the modest cost of fitting high quality perimeter draught strips.
In addition to thermal efficiency, reducing air currents cuts down on outdoor noise pollution, including road traffic hum and wind whistle during turbulent storms. It also plays an important role in controlling indoor air quality by stopping dust, grime, and street debris from blowing under and around doors into clean hallways and living areas.

Step by Step Installation Guide
Installing this draught excluder does not require specialist carpentry tools or advanced joinery experience. With basic household items, you can complete the installation in under thirty minutes. Follow this handy guide for an accurate and long lasting fit.
- Prepare the Frame Surfaces. Start by thoroughly cleaning the door frame jambs and door stop where the strips will sit. Wipe away all loose dust, grease, and peeling paint with a damp cloth and allow the wood to dry fully. A clean surface ensures accurate positioning.
- Measure the Top Header First. Close the door firmly so that the latch engages completely. Measure the width of the frame header across the top between the two side jambs. Take the shorter 914mm PVC strip and mark this measurement accurately with a pencil.
- Trim the Profile to Length. Use a fine toothed junior hacksaw to cut through the PVC carrier and the brush spine in one clean, steady stroke. If any bristle fibers protrude slightly at the cut point, simply snip them tidy with a sharp pair of household scissors.
- Fix the Top Horizontal Strip. Position the trimmed top strip against the door stop so that the brush fibers compress gently against the closed door face. You want light contact across the entire width without excessive friction. Use a small hammer to tap the supplied fixing pins into the pre punched holes along the strip.
- Measure and Fit the Side Jambs. Measure the vertical height from the floor sill up to the bottom edge of your newly installed top strip on both sides of the frame. Measure each side independently, as older door frames are rarely completely square. Cut both 2057mm strips to size and pin them into place, starting from the top and working downwards.
- Test Door Movement. Open and close the door multiple times to confirm the latch operates smoothly and that the brush forms a consistent perimeter barrier without catching or bunching.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I paint the white PVC strip to match my door frame?
Yes, you can lightly scuff the PVC housing with fine sandpaper and coat it with a quality acrylic or timber primer and gloss finish. Be careful to mask off the brush filaments with tape so that paint does not stiffen the flexible bristles.
Will this draught excluder stop rain coming in?
This set is designed specifically as an air and smoke perimeter seal around the sides and top of the door frame. While the brush stops wind driven mist and spray, it is not an impermeable water barrier. For external thresholds exposed to heavy pooling rainwater, pair this set with a dedicated Stormguard bottom door threshold bar.
Can I use screws instead of the supplied pins?
While the kit contains small matching steel pins designed for swift fixing into timber, you can substitute small counter sunk screws if your frame material requires a stronger mechanical grip, such as aged hardwood.
What if my door frame is taller than 2057mm?
The supplied side strips are 2057mm long, which accommodates the vast majority of standard UK residential door heights. If you have an unusually tall period doorway, you can purchase an additional pack to cut extension sections to span the remaining height seamlessly.
