Draft under the door: how to stop it without drilling or screwing

Mains qui posent un joint mousse gris sur le cadre d'une porte près de la poignée en retirant le film adhésif blanc

A hand resting close to the floor in front of a closed door: if you feel cold air, some of the heat from the room is escaping through there. The good news is that this is one of the easiest problems to fix, even when renting.

Locate drafts

The simplest test: hold a candle or a thin strip of paper near the bottom of the door and around the windows. If the flame or paper moves, air is getting through.

1. Adhesive brush door draft excluder

It sticks to the bottom of the door on the room side, and its brush lightly touches the floor to block the air. The adhesive door draft excluder we offer measures 100 cm and can be cut to the width of your door: no screws, no drilling. The brush also helps reduce dust and noise.

2. Foam weatherstripping for around doors and windows

When air also gets through the sides or around the windows, an adhesive foam weatherstrip fits into the frame: just measure, cut with scissors, remove the backing, stick it on, and close.

3. The door combo: draft excluder + magnetic door stopper

A door that slams with drafts? The Door Pack combines an adhesive door draft excluder and an adhesive magnetic door stopper, which keeps the door open and protects the wall from impacts, all without drilling.

4. The complete solution: draft excluder + weatherstripping kit

Air often gets through both under the door and around the frame. The Draft Excluder Kit combines an adhesive door draft excluder (100 cm, cut to size) and foam weatherstripping rolls of 2 m (8 m or 16 m): enough to treat an entire door, plus a window. Everything is cut to size with scissors, no drilling required.

Installation tips

  • Clean and degrease the surface, then let it dry.
  • Apply at room temperature (avoid a freezing cold door).
  • Press firmly along the entire length.
