Delivery
Q: Can I collect my order?
A: Yes, you can. Once your order is ready, we will send you a Ready for Pickup email with full collection details. Please note: pickup is from Preston, Victoria — not Prestons, NSW.
Q: Why is courier delivery so expensive?
A: Because this is a long product, freight costs are higher than for standard parcel items. We know that is not the most exciting news of the day, and we are always working to keep delivery costs as fair and reasonable as possible.
Q: Why can’t I choose Australia Post?
A: This product is too long for Australia Post, so it needs to travel with a specialist courier that handles oversized items safely.
Q: When will my order be despatched?
A: Most orders are despatched within 2–3 business days.
Q: Will I get tracking?
A: Yes. Once your order has been booked with the courier, you will receive a tracking number so you can keep an eye on its journey. Please note: if your order includes multiple items, they may arrive in separate parcels at no extra shipping cost.
Q: When will my order arrive?
A: Your order will be delivered by a specialist courier for oversized goods. This is not an express service, so delivery times can vary depending on your location and the time of year. Delays are more likely during busy periods such as winter, Christmas and end of financial year.
Q: Will my order be left if no one is home?
A: Yes. Standard courier deliveries are sent as Authority to Leave. That means if no one is home when the courier arrives, your parcel may be left at your address. If that is not suitable, please contact us when placing your order so we can discuss other options.
Q: What if my order arrives damaged?
A: Please open and inspect your order as soon as it arrives. If anything has been damaged in transit, let ecoMaster know immediately. Damage claims must be lodged within 48 hours of delivery. After that window, we may not be able to submit a claim with the carrier.

A: If your order seems overdue, we will follow it up with the courier on your behalf. If it cannot be located, we will arrange a replacement.
Q: What if my order is stolen after delivery?
A: If your parcel is stolen after it has been delivered, please report the theft to the police.
Q: How can I reduce freight costs?
A: Oversized freight can be expensive, especially for items over 1.5 metres long. To help keep costs down, you may wish to:
- Combine all long items into one order
- Share freight costs with a neighbour
- Collect your order from Preston, Victoria
- Use a more central delivery address if you live in a regional or rural area
We know freight costs can be frustrating, especially outside metro areas, and we will always do our best to help you find the most practical option.
FAQ
Q: What are Draught Dodgers?
A: Draught Dodgers are an award winning range of architectural quality perimeter seals designed to effectively and permanently eliminate air leaking in and around doors and windows - door seals that actually work!
Q: What does Draught Dodgers for Doors do?
A: Draught Dodgers for Doors helps seal the top, and sides of your internal or external doors from draughts.
Q: Are Draught Dodgers for Doors easy to install?
A: Yes, the pre-cut angles and the included fitting packer means that you only need to cut them to length in order to get a great finish and a perfect seal.
Q: When might Draught Dodgers not be appropriate?
A: When installing on a single external door here are some things to watch out for:
- If your door is fitted with a doorknob that is very close to the door jamb, the Draught Dodgers may cause difficulty in operating the doorknob. The Draught Dodgers add 11mm to the side of the jamb and this may impinge on the space normally used by your fingers operating the doorknob. If you have a door lever handle this is not a concern.
- In some period homes, there can be an ornate skirting fitted around the bottom of the front door jamb. Draught Dodgers can only butt up to the skirting and cannot be fitted over it.
- Similarly, in such ornate period front door jambs, the top of the door jamb can be a very thin ornate moulding. In this case, the top section of Draught Dodger cannot be fitted to the jamb in the regular way. It can however be fitted to the top face of the door such that the seal presses onto the ornate moulding when the door is closed. This is an effective method however aesthetic considerations may preclude this application.
- If your external door jamb has a screen door stopbead fitted onto it then it's best to check that there is enough space for the Draught Dodgers to fit between the door side of the stopbead and the face of the front door. You will need a minimum of 22mm in order to fit the Draught Dodgers correctly.
Q: What are Draught Dodgers for Doors made of?
A: Raw Timber Draught Dodgers for Doors are made from a high quality, sustainably harvested Tassie Oak. White and Black Draught Dodgers for Doors are made from powder coated aluminium. Both are fitted with a high quality vinyl compressive seal, and an extremely durable adhesive tape.
Q: Where are Draught Dodgers for Doors made?
A: The timber for Raw Timber Draught Dodgers is sustainably harvested in Australia. The aluminium Draught Dodgers are also made in Australia. We specifically source those materials from Australia.
Q: Do you have a recommended installer for Draught Dodgers?
A: A recommended installer is highly location dependent. To find out if we have a recommended installer in your area please contact us or call 1300 326 627
Q: I want to paint my Draught Dodgers. What should I watch out for?
A: Raw Timber Draught Dodgers can easily be stained or painted either before fitting or after fitting. Please note that only the timber part of the Draught Dodgers should be painted. Do not attempt to paint the seals. To ensure a good result, apply undercoat, sand, first coat, sand and final coat. If painting after installation, be sure to remove the seals first. Keep them in a safe place and refit them after painting is complete. Aluminium Draught Dodgers can also be successfully painted. Check out the detailed video in the How To section.
Q: Can I get a sample?
A: Unfortunately, we do not have samples of Draught Dodgers available.
Q: Do I have to use the fitting packer?
A: The fitting packer has been provided to ensure the Draught Dodgers are fitted correctly. Not using the fitting packer will most likely result in an improper installation.
Q: Can we have Draught Dodgers 2.7m long?
A: We do not have the ability to manufacture, or ship pieces that are longer than 2350mm. To draught proof a door that is larger than 2350mm you will need to join 2 mouldings together during installation.
Q: I want to treat my front door and my back door. Should I get a 2 door set or 2 x 1 door sets?
A: If your doors are single standard height doors (up to 2350mm tall), then a two door set will be sufficient. Otherwise, you will need 2 x 1 door sets. You might like to consider the Front and Back Door kit as a great way to save money on your materials. Alternatively, we offer an External Door kit to seal a single external door.
Q: Can I get white Draught Dodgers with a brown seal?
A: Yes you can. Select White Draught Dodgers, and a Custom Order Charge, then add in the notes that you would like brown seals with your white draught dodgers. Alternatively you can select Timber Draught Dodgers with a white seal and add a Custom Order Charge.
Q: I have damaged one of the Draught Dodgers trying to install it. Can I get a replacement?
A: Yes. You can order spare Draught Dodgers here. Note that is just one moulding - it does not include the compressive seal.
Q: The Draught Dodgers are stuck in the wrong place, now I can’t put the seals in?
A: Unfortunately that is quite problematic. We provide installation videos to ensure a quality result. Draught Dodger mouldings can be removed from the door, but the self adhesive tape will not restick. You can re-fit the Draught Dodgers with brads or screws, but make sure to use the fitting packer and PLEASE watch the installation video.
Q: Will Draught Dodgers help to reduce noise?
A: Draught Dodgers will help reduce noise. It has not been tested for acoustic performance. However, if you specifically need an acoustic door seal, then you should consider the RP78 Acoustic Perimeter Seal

Why is draught proofing my doors and windows so important?
Even small gaps around your doors and windows can let in cold draughts, hot air, noise, and dust—making your home less comfortable and more expensive to heat or cool. Sealing those gaps is one of the easiest ways to improve comfort and lower your energy bills.
Can’t I just go to a hardware store and buy a seal?
You can—but choosing from thousands of confusing options can be a frustrating guessing game. Get it wrong, and the door won’t close, or the seal won’t work. We’ve done the hard work for you with a curated range of high-quality, expert-tested products—so you get it right the first time.
Will sealing just a few doors or windows really make a difference?
Yes! Even fixing just one leaky door or window can noticeably improve the comfort of your home. You don’t have to do everything at once—just start with the worst offenders and build from there.
How do I know which product is right for my home?
That’s where we’ve made things simple. You can use our Find and Fix My Draughts tool to quickly identify the right products for your doors, windows, and gaps. Or explore our handy kits and guides tailored to different home types and draught problems—no guesswork needed!

Absolutely. Most of our draught proofing solutions are designed for easy DIY installation, and we back them up with clear instructions and how-to videos. If you'd rather not DIY, contact us and we’re happy to refer you to a trusted draught proofing technician in your area.
