This 5-metre self-adhesive brush seal strip is designed to create a tight barrier around doors and windows, reducing cold air infiltration and improving energy efficiency. Its slim 9mm profile allows it to fit neatly into even the narrowest gaps, effectively sealing cracks and crevices that often let in unwelcome breezes.

It’s a particularly useful solution for sealing multiple windows or doors from a single strip, offering excellent value for money.
The flexible brush pile construction allows for a snug fit around various door and window frames. However, please note that due to its design, the adhesive grip may weaken over time with frequent door openings, potentially requiring periodic reapplication for optimal performance. It’s a fantastic budget-friendly option for maintaining comfort during colder months.
