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. Once your order is ready, we will send you a Ready for Pickup email with full collection details.  Please note: pickup is from Preston, Victoria — not Prestons, NSW.

Q: Why is courier delivery so expensive?
A: Because this is a long product, freight costs are higher than for standard parcel items. We know that is not the most exciting news of the day, and we are always working to keep delivery costs as fair and reasonable as possible.

Q: Why can’t I choose Australia Post?
A: This product is too long for Australia Post, so it needs to travel with a specialist courier that handles oversized items safely.

Q: When will my order be despatched?
A: Most orders are despatched within 2–3 business days

Q: Will I get tracking?
A: Yes. Once your order has been booked with the courier, you will receive a tracking number so you can keep an eye on its journey.  Please note: if your order includes multiple items, they may arrive in separate parcels at no extra shipping cost.

Q: When will my order arrive?
A: Your order will be delivered by a specialist courier for oversized goods. This is not an express service, so delivery times can vary depending on your location and the time of year.  Delays are more likely during busy periods such as winter, Christmas and end of financial year.

Q: Will my order be left if no one is home?
A: Yes. Standard courier deliveries are sent as Authority to Leave. That means if no one is home when the courier arrives, your parcel may be left at your address.  If that is not suitable, please contact us when placing your order so we can discuss other options.

Q: What if my order arrives damaged?
A:
Please open and inspect your order as soon as it arrives. If anything has been damaged in transit, let ecoMaster know immediately.  Damage claims must be lodged within 48 hours of delivery. After that window, we may not be able to submit a claim with the carrier.

Q: What if my order goes missing in transit?
A: If your order seems overdue, we will follow it up with the courier on your behalf. If it cannot be located, we will arrange a replacement.

Q: What if my order is stolen after delivery?
A: If your parcel is stolen after it has been delivered, please report the theft to the police.

Q: How can I reduce freight costs?
A: Oversized freight can be expensive, especially for items over 1.5 metres long. To help keep costs down, you may wish to:

  • Combine all long items into one order
  • Share freight costs with a neighbour
  • Collect your order from Preston, Victoria
  • Use a more central delivery address if you live in a regional or rural area

We know freight costs can be frustrating, especially outside metro areas, and we will always do our best to help you find the most practical option.

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.
