About this under door draught excluders

Hongbaite 91cm Grey Glass-Bead Draught Excluder

Most draught excluders are light enough to be shoved aside the first time someone walks through the door. This one is built heavier: the filling is polyester cotton mixed with glass beads, which gives it roughly a kilogram of weight along 91cm of fabric. That weight is what keeps it pressed against the bottom of the door, instead of drifting into the hallway.

The glass beads are the sensible alternative to sand. They flow evenly through the fabric, do not leave a dusty feel on the cover and settle into a firm, even barrier. With a maximum gap fill of 8cm it handles the big gaps that thin foam strips cannot, which matters in older houses where the floor has settled and the door has been planed more than once.

The outer fabric is a plain grey polyester that goes with a painted white door or a dark hardwood one. A hanging rope at each end means you can hook it on the door handle when the door is held open, and the length suits a standard front door or a bedroom door with room to spare.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big a gap does this draught excluder cover?

Its maximum gap fill is 8cm, so it suits wide gaps under front doors, utility doors and doors over a bare floor. Measure your gap before you buy and compare.

What is it filled with?

Polyester cotton and glass beads. The beads add weight so the excluder stays flat, and they are used in place of natural sand.

Will it fit a standard UK front door?

At 91cm long it covers the width of most front doors, which are commonly 838mm to 914mm wide.

Does it work on carpet and hard floors?

Yes. It rests against the door on tile, wood, vinyl and carpet, though on a deep carpet you may need to nudge it into place after opening the door.

Can I measure my door before I order?

Yes, and you should. Measure the width of the door at the bottom edge and the gap between the door and the floor at its widest point, then compare both with the size and gap fill on this page.

How much is delivery?

Delivery within the UK is free on orders of £30 or more and a flat £3.99 below that. The delivery estimate for your address is shown at checkout before you pay.

Why filling matters: glass beads, sand and fibre compared

2 min read draughtexcluders.uk

What actually makes a draught excluder work

The cover is just a bag. The filling decides how well the excluder seals, how long it lasts and how it feels in the hand.

Fibre, sand and beads

Fibre-only fillings, usually polyester wadding, are soft and light. They squash against a gap but a gust or a swinging door can push them out of place. Sand is heavy but can leak out of a split seam and can feel dusty. Glass beads sit between the two: heavy and tidy, they pour evenly into every corner of the fabric so the excluder has no lumpy ends.

Placing it for the best seal

Lay the excluder against the door, not the skirting board, with its length matching the full width of the door. Check the door swings without catching, then nudge the excluder tight against the bottom edge. If the gap is bigger than 8cm, a fixed seal on the door is the better answer.
