Instructions: (EMV for Aluminium Windows)
- There are slightly different steps between Awning, and Sliding Windows, make sure to follow the correct steps for your window application.
- To ensure that the EMV will fit, fold the EMV down the centre to make a “v” shape, and stick the folded EMV in the gap. If it does not fit the gap is too small to use EMV.
- Be sure to take your time, the paper lining is thin and can tear easily.
- No need to remove the old seals from the windows.

Q: What is EMV for Aluminium Windows made of?
A: EMV is made out of plastic, with an adhesive on the back.
Q: When should I use EMV?
A: You can utilize EMV for many different uses. The most common applications are for when the original seal of aluminium sliding doors or windows is worn out, or when the gap of a hinged door is too small to apply other draught excluders.
Q: Do you have a recommended installer for EMV?
A: A recommended installer is highly location dependent. To find out if we have a recommended installer in your area please email sales@ecomaster.com.au, or call 1300-326-627.

A: We can send a sample to you. Postage for the sample is $9.00. To arrange for your free sample please call 1300-326-627.
Q: I have sticky residue on my window from a previous attempt to draught proof, how do I get it off?
A: The best way we've found for removing residue is with methylated spirits and a cloth. Use plenty of the methylated spirits on the cloth and gently rub away the residue. Once the residue has been loosened from the surface you will find it rolls in balls that are easily wiped away.
Alternatively, if you have a very stable substrate to work with (not varnished timber), you can use turpentine instead of the methylated spirits. This is not advised if you are unsure as to what finish you currently have on your door jamb.
Q: How long would it take to ship EMV?
A: 0 to 4 business days from the time of order.
Q: How will my order be delivered?
A: Orders would be sent through Australian Post.

A: EMV can be used for many applications. To find out if EMV will work for your needs, call us on 1300 326 627, or email us at sales@ecomaster.com.au
Q: Can I paint it to match?
A: A water based paint can be used to paint the EMV. However, when the EMV is painted it will lose some of its flexibility. We do not recommend painting the EMV
Q: What do I do if I install the EMV seal and feel no difference?
A: If you have installed the EMV and do not feel a difference, there are three possible reasons.
- You may not have installed the product correctly according to the instructions.
- The size of gap is larger than 7mm
- There may be more significant draughts in your home. You would have to find out where they are and decide how to treat them. This can be done on a DIY basis.

Q: What is the product warranty for EMV?
A: The EMV Slim Line Seal has a product warranty of 2 years, but can be effective for much longer than that.
Q: What is the installation warranty for EMV?
A: As EMV is a DIY product there is no warranty on installation.
However, in order to get the best value from your EMV investment, here are a few tips that will help:
- Thoroughly clean the surface that your EMV seal is to be adhered to. In situations where EMV has 'failed', this is 95% of the reason. The other reason is the type of paint on the door jamb. Very oily paints make longer term adhesion quite challenging. (use Draught Dodgers for doors and fix them with brads instead)
- EMV is less happy on a fully exposed door that gets full weather - sun and rain. To be fair, your door will also be less happy too!
To get the best value for your investment, please, PLEASE watch the installation videos before you proceed.
