FAQ

Q: How do I install this product myself? Where can I access installation instructions?
A: There is a step-by-step video which you can find in the "How to" section.

Q: Are you able to install it for me? If so, how much will it cost?
A: We do not install DIY products. If you would like someone to install this for you (depending on your location) we can recommend some fantastic installers please give us a call on 1300 326 627 to speak to our friendly sales staff.

 Q: Will my window still open and close after this product is installed? A: Yes! Draught Dodgers do not affect the functionality of your windows after installation.  If you find that it DOES affect the functionality of the window, it will have been installed incorrectly.

Q: How do I know the product has worked?
A: Close the window onto a sheet of paper. Try to pull the paper out of the window. There should be friction to pull the paper out whilst the window is closed.

Q: If it keeps in warm air in winter, will my home overheat in summer?
A: Draught Dodgers are designed to eliminate uncontrolled ventilation. By draught proofing, every opening is gently and securely sealed off to keep unwanted air leakage at bay, prevent the outdoor temperature from affecting your indoor comfort, and minimize the need for additional heating and cooling.

Q: What do I do if the product is faulty?
A: The ecoMaster return policy can be found on the website:
https://ecomasterstore.com.au/pages/refund-policy

Q: I'm wondering why the Draught Dodger component is not sticking to my joinery. It let go after a few days even though I cleaned the surface thoroughly.
A: The adhesive used in our Draught Dodgers range is potentially incompatible with some raw timber finishes which includes, but may not be limited to, Sikkens Cetol BLX-Pro. If the Draught Dodgers have come away from the surface, they can be re-fixed with brads (small nails) to hold them in place. Please be sure to use the fitting packer to get the best performance out of your Draught Dodgers.

Q: Is there a warranty on the installation of the product?
A: As it is a DIY product, we cannot provide an installation warranty as the installation process is out of our control.

Shipping

Q: Can I collect my order?
A: Yes you can!  A “Ready for Pickup” email will be sent to you when you order is ready to be collected.  Please click this link for the Click and Collect details.  Note:  this Collection Centre is in Preston Victoria, NOT Prestons in NSW. 

Q: When will my order be despatched?
A: Generally, your order will be despatched within 2 to 3 business days.    

Q: Will my order be tracked?
A: Yes!  When your order is consigned, you will receive a tracking number that will show you where your order is and its expected delivery date.  Track your order here

Please note: Orders with two or more items may arrive in separate parcels with no additional shipping charge

Q: When will my order be delivered?
A: All over-sized orders are picked, packed and despatched within 3 business days.  It will be delivered by a specialist courier that specifically handles oversized items that cannot be delivered via Australia Post. Please note that this is a specialist courier NOT an express courier. Our experience with the specialist courier varies depending upon the delivery location.   Clearly delivery times will fluctuate at peak shipping times such as Christmas.

Q: Authority to leave?
A: The standard courier delivery option is "Authorised to Leave". That means that if there is no one home when the courier arrives, your order will be left at your address. If this is not appropriate, please advise when you place your order for alternative arrangements to be made.

Q: What happens if my order gets lost during transit?
A: Occasionally we have had orders go missing. ecoMaster has solid procedures in place and photograph every order that leaves our warehouse.  If a delivery date appears to be beyond expectation, we will raise a query on your behalf.  If your order cannot be found during transit, we will send a replacement.  

Q: What happens if my order is stolen after delivery?
A: If your order is stolen from your home after delivery, please raise a Police report. 

Q: How do I make my freight costs cheaper? 
A: We hear you!  Oversized items are expensive to transport.  Any item over 1.5m long carries an additional $10 charge by the courier.   

Potential cost effective freight alternatives are:

  • Share the costs of freight with a neighbour
  • Buy all your long items (such as Draught Dodgers) in one order (a second tube going to the same address is free)
  • Collect your order from Preston Victoria 

If you live regionally or in a rural location, freight costs will be high.  Do you have an address in a town where your order can be safely delivered?   We also live regionally and understand the frustration with the high costs of freight!!

Warranty

Q: What is the product warranty for the Draught Dodger range? 
A: The Draught Dodger range has a product warranty of 5 years, but can be effective for much longer than that.  Our own home has had Draught Dodgers on our front door for nearly 20 years.  It is in perfect condition and still doing its job - beautifully. 

Q: What is the installation warranty for Draught Dodgers?
A: As Draught Dodgers are a DIY product there is no warranty on installation.  

However, in order to get the best value from your investment, here are a few tips that will help: 

  • Please, PLEASE watch the installation videos before you proceed.  The packer has been designed and included to ensure that the Draught Dodgers are fitted in EXACTLY the right place. 
  • Thoroughly clean the surface that your Draught Dodgers are to be adhered to.  In situations where Draught Dodgers have '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.  In this case, fix Draught Dodgers to your door with brads instead of the self adhesive strip.

Q: What do I do if I have a problem with this product?  
A: Refer to our Returns / Refunds page [Learn More].  Our Research and Development team will be keenly interested to learn of any product failure and will want images and samples the product (if possible), so they can determine what the cause of failure was.    

If you have any questions, contact the ecoMaster team.  We are all ex-installers and have done this work thousands of times before.  We are here to help you.

Neat Solution

So far I have found the Draught Dodgers fairly easy to install on my casement windows. I have quite a few to install so I invested in a proper mitre saw which enables me to make perfect 90 degree cuts and also 75 degree cuts to match the angle of the bevel. This allows me to use all the off-cuts as there is more than enough wood for each window. I stained & varnished all the lengths first before installing and now have a really professional looking job.

Hi Allan,

We're delighted to hear that the installation of your Draught Dodgers for Awning Windows has been a straight forward one. Making that investment into a mitre saw really does make the process so much easier - go you!

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, we really appreciate it!

Also, we would LOVE to see a photo of your completed install too. Please feel free to send them through to sales@ecomaster.com.au
Have a great day!

Perfect solution

I fitted them to our casement windows and they work perfectly. They arrived in excellent condition and, after viewing the instructional video, were simple to install. The red dot, green dot and pre-cut angles made things so easy. No draughts and less external noise!

Thanks for the feedback Ben!
