V-Seal White 5M Draught excluder Weather Proofing Seal self Adhesive Gap Filler Stormguard

I had gaps around my door that varied from 1mm to 8mm. Stormguard V-seal stopped the draught that was coming through the gaps. I think it should last well since it is made from a hard plastic material. It was easy to apply but be careful when removing the backing strip that you don't remove the double sided sticky tape as well - they are difficult to separate. Also be careful if you have any notches on the edge of the door, such as around the locks - if the V-seal catches on a notch when the door is opened, it will jam and rip the V-seal out.

I love this product and it succeeded in stopping the draught coming in around my front door, where the foam stuff failed because it doesn’t make a good seal if your door is uneven like mine which is wooden and slightly warped creating uneven gaps. It does take a bit of figuring out. But why in the name of someone beginning with J, isn’t there enough in one packet to go around a whole door?!!! It only did three sides. I’ll have to buy more. 😢 otherwise would have been 5 stars.

This worked a treat on some very draughty doors to my attic eaves. Foam seals were too thick and the door wouldn't close, but these 'V' seals did a great job. Really easy to apply and seem to be working a treat!

The adhesive on the back is very poor; it doesn't stick to the door frame at all

This should work really well, but two flaws, one more serious than the other. 1) SNAGGING: The length of the adhered "foot" part of the V and the "free to flex" portion are identical in length. This means that if you use a return edge of a door frame to guide the application and keep it straight when folded over to almost fully flat, it will snag against that return edge and stay flat, not returning to a V shape required to fill a gap. If the "free to flex" portion was just a fraction shorter, it would not snag when used in this way. 2) WAVY EDGE: When it arrives on the roll, it is flat and needs folding to a V profile after application/bonding to door frame etc. Unroll it, and it sits nicely flat-to-surface, before you fold it. Once folded over into a V, however, even on a nice flat doorframe, the free edge of the "free to flex" portion ends up wavy, but still relatively stiff. This means that when the door closes on it, it folds at the apex of the V form, but the wavy edge is too stiff to flatten against the door, and so there are loads of gaps. It probably blocks up about 60 - 70% of the air gap, but it seems there must be a better material selection for this purpose that is more compliant. On seeing the effect, I removed the frist attempt and tried a second time, folding super carefully the second time, perhaps 10% better, but exactly the same fail. See photo of my second, and marginally better, attempt. So, a seal that doesn't seal isn't really a seal. It's more accurately a "DRAGHT REDUCER" rather than "DRAUGHT EXCLUDER".

I replaced the old V seal that was installed many years ago. Finally it started to split and I replaced it with this. Installation was straight forward. Once stuck to the frame the V is folded back on itself. Once started, I used the handle of a scraper to continue the fold and press the adhesive tape hard to the frame. If I get another 10 years out of this one, it will probably see me out!

This tape works differently to others No foam to compress - instead the V shape blocks air from entering gaps. The more air the better it seals! Simplicity and long life Easy to apply Fits in big & small gaps

The V-Seal design seemed like the perfect solution to my draughty door, but in practice it was disappointing. Installation was easy - the adhesive had good grab and stayed put, and the strip was easy to cut with shears. You do of course need a stable surface to stick it to, so you need to remove any flaking paint and fill any voids. The end result, however, was not good. The small force per centimetre needed to compress the seal, multiplied by several metres of strip length, resulted in a very large force on the door. Only a giant could have opened and closed it using hands alone. After all that, the seal efficiency was poor and the draught still got through. In the end I removed it and fitted an external door seal, the type with an aluminium extrusion holding a rubber strip. That worked perfectly. Conclusion: Cheap, but only suitable for large gaps where the seal is not compressed very much, and where the door and frame are perfectly straight and parallel.

We used this on the entrance door to our rented apartment. Rubbish door, we get constant heating oil fumes coming in during the winter, they go thru the whole house. We tried with different foam strips, and tubing. They worked fairly well but made shutting/locking the door very difficult and some smell still got through. This strip was easily applied, I've only done the lock side as that is our weak side. Finally no smell of oil or cigarettes getting through at all, and the door now shuts without slamming and locks without having to pull it. No sign yet of it coming unstuck. I can totally recommend this product.

Perfecto para puertas y ventanas que no están preparadas para montar burletes de gomaespuma. Ideal Para huecos de menos de 3mm

a due mesi dall'installazione dura e non si rompe.. ma: è in PVC non morbido quindi fà rumore o si incaglia se lo spiffero non è uguale in tutti i punti (questo implica anche che in alcuni punti non riesce perfettamente a riempire lo "spiffero" fà bene il suo mestiere, deve essere installato non a battuta ma a taglio, il biadesivo è buono e ha una buona resistenza.

Hace meses que lo compre y escribo hoy la opinion porque quise comprobar su envejecimiento y uso. Su resultado ha sido malo, se ha despegado, No lo recomiendo

Ottime per sigillare porte e finestre. Forse potrebbe migliorare l'adesivo, ma comunque ottime! Ho risolto problemi di correnti d'aria in casa dovute agli spifferi!
