Very good product. The customer service was excellent.
Good value product.
Does keep initial heat out.
Not sure how it will go when it hits a constant 40 degrees for more than a few days in WA. Time will tell. I have bought this product twice the second time I didn't receive as may velcro bits though. But so far so good and I do recomend it.
Hi Janelle,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Renshade Reflective Foil. We're glad to hear that it is working well for you and that you've found it to be a good value product.
20 Velcro are now included free with each roll of Renshade.
As you mentioned, we're also curious to see how it performs in extreme temperatures, but we're confident it will continue to keep the heat out. However, many days of constant 40+ degrees will need a number of actions taken together to maintain a comfortable home.
Draught proofing, insulation (ceiling, floor and wall) as well as window treatments all work together to keep your home's ecosystem comfortable in extreme temperatures.
Maybe check our blog on cocooning - which can relate to one room, or a whole home.

Thank you for recommending our product and for being a repeat customer. We appreciate your support and hope it continues to meet your needs.
This kit is great for standard vents - very happy. However it’s no good to block a specially made boot in my bathroom. Also the website says “Remember to get an extra kit to treat the Return Air inlet.” The polyester insulation and insulation board is way too small to cover my 32cm diameter return inlet. Time for two plan B’s !
Hi Kate,
Thank you for your review, we are pleased to hear that you a very happy with our Goodbye Heating Vents kit in regards to your vents. You mentioned that the kit was too small for your 32cm return inlet. Yes you are correct, we would have recommended the Large Goodbye Heating Vents to deal with that sized return. If you wish to discuss please feel free to give us a call on 1300 326 627. Have a nice day!
We have tried many sealers previously, you know the ones from Bunnings that are thick and visible. The EMV sealers are amazing and have made a huge difference to our doors AND windows. We moved house recently and found that our door was whistling even with a sealer. We installed some EMV and presto, whistle gone. We purchased a second lot and are now installing them on all doors and windows. Very happy, great product and easy to install.
Hi Pauline,
Thank you for leaving such a wonderful review for our EMV Slim Line Seal! We are so glad to hear that our product has made a big difference for your doors and windows, so much so that you decided to purchase more for your home. That kind of feedback really makes our day! Thank you again.
Thanks for arranging this for my specific project. It made the difference between going with Renshade or using another product entirely.
Hi Weixian,
We are very happy to help! If there is anything else that we may assist you with please feel free to reach out. Have a fantastic day!
Just by trying to cut the sheets while the sun is shining on to it will immediately give you an idea how much glare and heat the shade is rejecting. Mine did not come with the Velcro dots, so I had to purchase my own. Decided to use 2cm patches rather than dots.
Watch the instructional video before attempting, as you should have a long table to lay the shade out to measure and cut. It will help to have an extra pair of hands to hold really large pieces longer than 1m and wider than 60cm.
Most of the difficulty will come from the curling of freshly cut shade as you try to stick it nicely on the glass. Using larger velcro patches will allow you to reattach with some degree of error.
I recommend using more than 4 dots/patches as there is visible sag and if you regularly open the window for ventilation, a stiff breeze can pop the shade off.
When installed, it has made a huge different in the amount of heat and light + glare. Shut the window completely to keep hot air out.
It will darken a room significantly (more than 60% by my estimate), so consider half shading a window or leaving some windows unshaded if natural light is needed in an area.
Hi Weixian,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Renshade! We’re thrilled to hear how effectively it has reduced heat and glare in your space. Your insight on the sun shining on the sheets during installation really highlights the immediate impact of Renshade, and we appreciate your positive feedback on its performance. Your tip about using larger patches for better adherence is incredibly helpful, and we’ll consider adding this advice to our instructional materials to assist others with their installation. Regarding the curling of freshly cut shades, this is a common initial challenge due to the material's nature. We value your recommendation on using more than four dots/patches, especially for those who frequently open their windows, and will pass this along to our product team for further review.
Used on a door between garage and home. New house, so easy to fit without extensive preparation. Works.
Hello Stuart,
Thank you for your positive feedback about our EMV Slim Line Seal. We are pleased to hear that it is working well for you. Thank you for choosing our product for your door perimeter needs. Have a fabulous day!
It didn’t work as well as I hoped. Water goes down the kitchen sink a bit faster but it still blips and blips. I’ve still got one sachet left I’ll do it again. But suspect there are tree roots in the drain.
Was so easy to install. I am ready for summer!
Hi Jyoti,
Thank you so much for the great review! We appreciate your feedback. Please come and visit us again soon!
I found this product easy to install, and so far this spring it’s made a big difference to the temperature of the room with this east-facing window. I also installed the draft excluder for a sash window, and have my fingers crossed for a cooler room!
Hi Katie,
Wow, thank you so much for the feedback! We are so pleased to hear that it has made a big difference in your home. We appreicate your business and hope to see you again soon.
Very handy book
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us and the community Tom. Have a wonderful day!
This is not an inexpensive product so you have an expectation that it will work. It arrives in curious packaging ( is it a single dose or multiple?) and is described as a toilet cleaner that you then flush into the sewer system.. One flush later, this will all flush away presumably. If you want to ensure no roots block your pipes, it is hard to understand how this will achieve the desired result. Better a slow release tablet in a bathroom floor trap perhaps.? I have been planning to get some back-up info on the product’s application.
Hi Helen,
Thank you for your feedback.
We have extended the details on the website to explain more fully how this product works.
It is a chemical free solution with no poisons in it.
The bacteria in the cleaner is designed to break down toilet paper and human waste, not tree roots.
Any product that kills roots will disrupt a septic system.
To use it, wet the bowl, light sprinkle (just a teaspoon or two), then brush the bowl.
It will foam up. The pleasant smelling foam cleans the bowls. Then flush once.
Use this cleaner when you would normally clean your toilet.
We hope this information will be useful, if you have any further questions please do reach out to us on 1300 326 627. Our friendly sales staff will be very happy to help.
Great product great service
Thank you for your feedback Vic! Please let us know if there is anything else that we can help you with.
Have a great day!
Good basic information without jargon. Not very technical. All the stuff from rhe MEEH Facebook Group, but better organised.
Hi Louise,
Great to hear that you found the book to be a good resource for beginners and appreciate the lack of technical jargon. We are happy to hear that the organization of the book was helpful for you also. Thank you for your feedback and we hope you continue to enjoy the book!
Despite some juggling required when one of the side pieces stuck at the top while I was juggling it into position the installation was relatively straightforward. The end result is great - the howling gales streaming in around the door are no more.
Hi Lawrie,
Thank you for taking the time to review of our External Door Draught Proofing Kit. It's wonderful to hear that you found the installation process relatively straightforward and that it has effectively reduced the howling gales around your door. Excellent! It is unfortunate that you experienced some issues whilst juggling the side piece into position, however we are pleased that the end result was worth it.
Both of these items worked together extremely well to create the ideal weather seal to our front entry French door.
Hi Terry,
Very pleased to hear that the RP95 & Tread plate worked together seamlessly to provide a strong weather seal for your French door. We appreciate your feedback.
Haven’t installed it yet
Hi Katie
Thanks for your review, we would love to hear your thoughts once you have installed. Have a great day!
Vintage 1990s ducts, each warped. Easy to trim foil board to fit. Used extra ultraclear to fill gaps. Especially happy to fully insulate the return air vent which had no internal cover and is outside a bedroom. Noticeably fewer drafts and the house maintains temperature overnight so much better. Added bonus of a quieter house. So easy and worth the effort.

Hi Dale,
Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review - it's much appreciated! Have a great day!
I've been looking at my heating vents for 18 months, thinking..."I really should seal up that home in the ground" but never quite doing it. This kit basically got me off my bum and doing it.
Critique - the cost is probably more than the sum of the parts (delivery was a big part of that) but the fact that they arrived ready to go and I could finish the whole house in less than 90 mins is a benefit in itself. If I was to price in the cost of extra heating over the last 18 months while I was "thinking about it" - these things are a bargain.
Dear Tref,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our Goodbye Heating Vents and Duct Sealing Kit. It's fantastic hearing that our product was able to motivate you to finally seal your vents after 18 months of contemplation. We understand that you feel that the cost may seem high, but we believe the convenience and efficiency of our kit make it worth it - as do many other customers. The delivery cost is unfortunately out of our control, however we will happily pass your feedback onto Australia Post.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to continue providing helpful and convenient solutions for your home.
Well laid out, practical and easy to understand.
Hi Darragh Kennedy,

Affordable product for clients and easy to work with. Light, effective yet durable.
Hi Alaric,

This is a fantastic product if you have a variable large gap (up to 1cm) to deal with. I had tried a combination of draught sealing products from the hardware store without success, before discovering Draught Dodgers for Doors. Problem solved - I no longer have cold air pouring into the house from around the door!
Thank you for your kind review Sara! We are so happy to hear that our Draught Dodgers for Doors were able to solve your problem and keep your home warm and cozy. Your satisfaction is our top priority and we appreciate your support. Stay warm!
We live in a Victorian-era house where there's no such thing as a right angle. Hence there are sizable gaps around our front door which allow lots of cold air inside. I recently installed the slimline tape seal around the frame, following the video instructions. It was easy to do, and worked a treat. No more cold, dusty wind howling into our hallway!
Hi Brock,
We have dealt with our fair share of Victorian-era homes, they can be extremely beautiful though unfortuantley very draughty.
