Door draught excluders

cosmowillie53 · 2010-09-02 21:03:26

I have a wooden munster joinery door. Fifteen years old. There is a draught getting in at the bottom. I renewed the seals all round the door and frame last year. Is there anything extra I can use at the bottom. Thanks in advance

Sorry but I cant post picture.

The door is an exterior front door. There is a metal strip in the floor which I suppose the bottom of the door should close against. ( maybe its called a drip tray)
The door opens inwards onto a tiled floor.

Perfect: get a strip of neoprene draughtt excluder and stick it to the inside face of the metal channel along the top edge.
The thickness of the neoprene depends on the gap between it and door.

Just did one like this last week

Where in the cosmo(s) are u located?:D
