Draught Proofing - RP16 - Double Door Centre Seal - How To

RP16 Double Door Centre Seal Makes Draught Proofing Easy

The RP16 French Door astragal seal is a low cost and easy way to reduce draughts in your home, and help improve energy efficiency and comfort. It can be installed on the inside or outside of double doors. Follow our video instructions for easy DIY! And if you do get stuck, our team will happily provide phone support to help you successfully install the RP16 door seal.

What you will need:

* Tape measure
* Drop saw with metal-cutting blade
* Sharp cutting knife
* Pencil for marking
* Electric drill
* Flat file
* Screwdriver
* Spare material

Hacks:

* Best installed on the outside but will need to be installed on the inside if your doors have mushroom stops.
* The seal should be cut slightly shorter than the full length of the door to prevent jamming at the top or base.
* We recommend always drilling pilot holes to position the device and to prevent splitting along the door’s edge.

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!

Works really well
Highly recommend

Hi Glen,

We are immensely pleased to hear that you found our DraftStoppa to your liking so much so, that you would recommend it to others. Thank you!
We look forward to serving you again soon!

Excellent door seal

Good quality and very clever design. I had my handyman help me to install it, and he said the video was easy to follow. The little piece of board that helps the installer measure the width of the rubber seal made all the difference, he said. Also, great service from Eco master when I rang with questions before I purchased

Hi Kate,

we sincerely thank you for your encouraging words and positive feedback. It is great to know that you and your handy man love our 'Draught Dodgers for Doors'.
The team here at ecoMaster put a lot of effort into the videos to help make the install process as simple as possible. We will definitely be sharing your feedback with them. Thanks again!

Easy to install

I installed 2 small and 1 large pelmet above 3 different windows. It was easy to do, although a join on the big one fell apart once, so make sure you stick it down really hard. They really are invisible which I like, as I find box pelmets too heavy.

We are quite thrilled that you like our 'Invisible Pelmets'! Good point about 'sticking down hard', it is the best way to active any adhesive tape.
We hope you visit again soon! Have a great day!

Goodbye Heating Vents

Cutting the boards to size was easy and installing the units was also straightforward.
The return unit was a bit fiddly due to it being a long oblong with an angled and uneven top but used the offcut board pieces to make a level surface and lots of filler.
Units are a bit pricey.

Hi Robin,

We take pride in the fact that you took your time to write to us. This helps us strive for the best experience for customers like yourself.
We are so pleased to hear that the installation process of our 'Goodbye Heating Vents' was a simple one.

With rising costs across the board, sourcing the components unfortunately isn't as cost effective as it use to be. Providing a convenient one stop kit to de-commission old heating vents and save money on energy bills, we hope is worth it. As a small family business that is committed to energy efficiency for Australian homes we do keep our margins very slim.

Thanks again for sharing. Have a fantastic day!
