Draught-excluder gap sizes

Identify whether the gap is around the door or window frame or beneath the door. Those locations need different product shapes. Measure the gap along its length rather than taking a single reading, then compare it with the excluder’s stated working range. Tesa distinguishes floor surfaces and door-bottom seal formats, so the floor covering also matters. Choose a product that suits the existing door arrangement and follow its intended-use guidance, including any restrictions on the type of door.

MATCH THE DETAILS TO YOUR JOB

What to check before buying

  1. Compare the measured minimum and maximum gaps with the product’s stated sealing range and profile.
  2. Check the required length and whether the pack contains a single strip, multiple lengths or paired profiles.
  3. For door-bottom seals, match the stated floor type and check clearance through the door’s full movement.
  4. Confirm attachment method and surface compatibility; check the door maker’s requirements, particularly for fire or ventilated doors.

tesa tesamoll E-Profile seal, brown, 10 m × 9 mm × 3.5 mm

Amazon identifies the brown 10 m E-Profile pack for sealing frame/perimeter gaps, not a door-bottom brush or sweep. The current manufacturer range is INSULATION Rubber Weatherstrip (Small), for gaps of 1–3.5 mm. Measure the gap and choose the correct sealing position; the manufacturer page does not independently confirm this pack’s colour or length.
