AVON, Ohio--()--It’s no secret that gaps around windows and doors cause warm air to escape, while letting cold air into a home. In fact, gaps around windows and doors are two of the most common sources for air to leak, and, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, plugging these leaks can help you save up to 25 percent on your home heating bill. Caulk will seal gaps around a window or doorframe, but what about air sneaking in through the bottom?
Homeowners have a new weapon to keep cold air out and warm air inside their homes this winter: the Duck® brand Double Draft Seal. The patent-pending design of the seal offers two layers of protection from drafts, and features an exclusive strap that keeps the seal from sliding off and getting stuck in the door. It is designed for high traffic areas of the home, like main entryways, and has been engineered to “hug” the bottom of a door or window from both sides. The seal even works on high thresholds to provide maximum thermal protection, while creating two, thick barriers to block cold air. Here’s how it works:
- For doors, the Duck brand Double Draft Seal attaches simply to the base of the door. Use on both exterior and interior doors for maximum energy efficiency. The strap holds the seal in place, but can be adjusted quickly and easily. The seal is designed to work on a variety of floor types and features abrasion-resistant, washable fabric.
- For windows, simply place the Duck brand Double Draft Seal on the sash. Close the window on the flat, middle part of the seal to create an airtight bond.
The quick, easy-to-install Duck brand Double Draft Seal offers homeowners one of the most complete draft-blocking solutions on the market today. It is available in a single or double pack with a suggested retail price of $10-$12 for the single size and $19-$21 for the double.
