Description

Your exhaust fan shouldn't work against your comfort. 💨🚫🏠

While exhaust fans are great for removing steam and odours, they’re often a hidden source of major heat loss and air leakage—especially in winter. The DraftStoppa is a clever, gravity-operated cover that automatically seals your exhaust fan when it’s not in use, preventing draughts, dust, and roof-space air from entering your home.

Unlike flimsy flaps or temporary fixes, DraftStoppa uses a butterfly lid that opens only when the fan is running, and closes tightly once it stops. This means you get full ventilation when you need it, and energy-saving insulation when you don’t—all without needing to remember a thing.

✅ Automatically seals ceiling exhaust fans when not in use

✅ Stops draughts, heat loss, dust, and insects

✅ Works with most standard exhaust fans

✅ Simple to install—no electrical work required

✅ Ideal for bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, and ensuites

✅ Durable, low-maintenance and long-lasting

✅ Recommended by retrofit professionals and energy efficiency experts

Small upgrade. Big impact.

Install a DraftStoppa and stop losing comfort through your ceiling—your future energy bills will thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is draught proofing, and why is it important?

Draught proofing means sealing up all the gaps (big and small) where air sneaks in or out of your home—around windows, doors, vents, chimneys, and even curtains. It’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve comfort, reduce energy waste, and lower your heating and cooling bills.  Generally draught proofing is the first step in you making your home energy efficiency.   The major component  of a home’s energy costs is used on heating and cooling.  Your home can’t be effectively heated or cooled if you can drive a “mac truck” under your front door.

Will this really make a difference to my energy bills?

Yes! Draught proofing reduces how often your heater or air con needs to run. Less hot air escaping in winter, less heat sneaking in during summer = lower energy use, more comfort, and more savings.  In the ecoMaster test house, which was draught proofed more than 20+ years ago, we saved 50% of our $2,500 heating bill in the first year after completing it.  And of course, we have continued to save that amount every year.

How do I know where the draughts are coming from?

A walk-through your home on a windy day can help you feel where air is leaking in (like under doors or around windows, chimneys and exhaust fans). You can also check unused heating vents, behind curtains, skirting boards, cornices and picture rails —these are often the hidden culprits.

If you’re not sure where to start, you’ve got three great options:

You can try to track down the draughts yourself, or get a little help with our Find and Fix My Draughts program—designed to guide DIYers in spotting every sneaky gap in their home. Prefer to leave it to the pros? We can connect you with a trusted draught proofing technician in your area for a full in-home assessment. Just get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction.

What products do I actually need?

That depends on where the leaks are!

  • Draught Dodgers for effectively sealing doors and windows.
  • Chimney Draught Stoppers block open fireplaces.
  • Goodbye Heating Vents seal off unused ducted heating.
  • DraftStoppas stop airflow through ceiling exhaust fans.
  • Invisible Pelmets help block airflow and heat loss behind curtains.
  • UltraClear seals gaps and cracks where one surface meets another. 

If you’re not sure, start with either work with the online program Find and Fix My Draughts, follow the Draught Proofing Information Hub one room or hire a draught proofing technician.  Or contact us for a referral to a trusted draught proofing technician in your area.

Can I install draught proofing myself, or do I need a tradie?

Most draught proofing products are totally DIY-friendly—especially with the help of our video guides. They’re designed for everyday Aussies, not just seasoned professionals (althought they also buy ecoMaster products). If you’re comfortable using basic tools, you can do this.  We indicate where any particular product requires an experienced hand. 

If you could prefer for a draught proofing assessment and professional installation, please contact us for a referral to a trusted draught proofing technician in your area.

Alexandre Ossine
DRAFTSTOPPA/EXHAUST FAN COVER

Very good cover. Easy to assemble and install. Made the house much warmer. Had to cut small notches on the sides, so that cover sits flush with the plaster on top of the 250mm HPM exhaust fan as fan's mounting tabs were in the way. Had no such problem with a 200mm toilet fan. So ordered 2 covers and very happy with them. Love the extra insulation included with fan covers

Hi Alexandre,

Love hearing that the cover was easy to assemble and install, and that it has made your house warmer. We apologize for the inconvenience of having to cut notches to accommodate the mounting tabs, that's not feedback we have received before but we are happy that it was a simple fix. We appreciate your business, thank you for choosing ecoMaster.

DraftStoppa in East Bentleigh

I can see improvement with thermal images before and after so thats good.
I had clearance issues in my roof but overcame that with some timber and screws so that was all good

HI Imre,

It's fabulous to hear that you have seen improvements with our DraftStoppa. We understand that installation can sometimes have its challenges, but we're glad you were able to overcome them with some creative thinking. Thank you for your feedback!
