Pro Tips:

Ths product is not difficult to install. It does have a number of steps.
Please watch ALL the videos before you start, and again during your installation.
This product does NOT seal the draught IN the cavity. It stops draught from entering one side of a sliding door.
To totally eliminate draught from a door cavity, the cavity itself must be treated. This usually requires removal of the door. Join Technical Director, Maurice Beinat, to find out more on treating a cavity sliding door to eliminate draught at the source.

Occasionally the compressive seal can be a bit tricky to fit into the slot, so we have produced a quick video to show you an easier way.

Good product, messed around with collection

Happy with the product, I feel like it is making a difference under the house. Didn’t hear anything for a couple of weeks and then received an email about picking up the product the next day. When I went to collect it, I was told it didn’t make it on the truck and would have to come back tomorrow, and then it still wasn’t delivered to the warehouse. 3rd time was the charm and we could collect it. Like anything, timely communication is important and it was lacking here.

Hi Steph,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for the 4-star rating. We’re thrilled the product is already making a difference under your house.

We’re really sorry for the collection run-around. Unfortunately we can only act on the updates we receive from the depot, and on this occasion they gave us inaccurate information—which meant you weren’t kept properly in the loop. That’s not the experience we want for anyone.

We’ll be reviewing this with our delivery partners so we can keep customers better informed in future, and we’ll also highlight your experience with the depot to help prevent a repeat.

Your comments help us improve, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

Short length

The length of the for fitting was about 25-30cms short, so it doesn't seal all the way from top to bottom leaving a gap.

Hi GS,

Thanks for sharing your feedback. The RP78 single door set comes with 2 x 2100mm and 1 x 1000mm lengths, the measurements are clearly listed under the specifications tab on the product page.
These sizes fit the vast majority of standard doors, but as some doors can be taller, we always recommend measuring before purchase to make sure you’ll have the right coverage.

If your door is taller than 2100mm, you will likely need to choose a product specification that suits your particular door.
As the RP78 is a screw fixed product, you can unscrew it and fit a more appropriate solution.

We’d be happy to help you work out the right solution so you can get the best draught-proofing result for your home.

Thanks for your review. We always recommend measuring first to make sure you get the right coverage. Looking at your order, you chose the RP35 in 820mm — if you’d ordered the 920mm, you could have trimmed it down to fit your door perfectly from side to side.

If you’d like, we can help you swap it over so you get the right fit and a proper seal. Just reach out to us and we’ll get it sorted for you.
