Description

Fresh air when you want it. A tight seal when you don’t. 🪟💨❄️

Outward-opening windows like wind-out, awning, or casement styles are great for ventilation—but not so great at keeping out cold draughts, dust, noise, and insects when shut. That’s where the Draught Dodgers Awning Window Kit steps in.

This clever system is designed to seal the inside perimeter of timber-framed awning and casement windows, providing an airtight but discreet barrier without affecting the window’s operation. Using finely crafted timber or white powder coated aluminium mouldings with colour-matched seals, it turns leaky windows into an energy-saving feature—without replacing a thing.

✅ Designed specifically for outward-opening timber windows (awning, wind-out & casement)

✅ Seals around the inside edge to stop airflow, noise, smoke, dust and insects

✅ Suits gaps up to 6mm

✅ Maintains smooth opening and closing—no interference with window function

✅ Sustainable timber or white powder coated aluminium mouldings with high-performance, discreet seals

✅ Easy-to-follow DIY instructions included

✅ Compatible with heritage homes, modern builds, and everything in between

✅ Trusted by experienced retrofitters and homeowners for long-lasting performance

Don’t let your windows be your weak spot.

Seal the leaks, save on energy, and enjoy a quieter, more comfortable home—without compromising the way your windows work.

Delivery

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: Your order 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 specialist couriers varies depending upon the delivery location.  Clearly delivery times will fluctuate at peak shipping times such as Christmas, end of financial year and the pinnacle of winter bleakness!

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 is damaged in transit?
A: Our freighters have very strict policies on the ability to claim on insurance if your order arrives damaged.  There is a 48 hour window of receipt of goods for ecoMaster being able to advise the freighters of a damage claim.  PLEASE ensure you have advised us IMMEDIATELY if an order has been damaged on arrival.  Open your order immediately and check.  Outside of the 48 hour window, we are unable to make an insurance claim.

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!!

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: 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.

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!

Are these products DIY-friendly?

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.

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!
