The Problem
Gaps in-between floorboards often create cold draughts which can lead to chilly rooms and discomfort during the winter months. The time old remedy to combat these cold draughts is often the use of additional heating, which in turn increases energy usage and utility bills.
A 12 x 12ft room has approximately 25 floorboards and an average gap area of 3.87ft² which is similar to a small window being left open.
The Solution
DraughtEx is a new floor sealant that has been designed to eliminate the cold draughts and improve the comfort and energy efficiency of your home.
Easy to install, DraughtEx requires no adhesives and compliments the overall finish of your floorboards. The specially formulated colour "Shadow" has been designed to mimic the natural shadows created between floorboards and is almost invisible to the naked eye.
Its flexible properties allow DraughtEx to be applied to gaps ranging from 2 - 8mm wide and ensure that gaps with varying widths will be completely sealed. DraughtEx is supplied in 40m rolls and comes with a free application tool.
Energy Savings
Based on the results of research carried out by The Energy Saving Trust, it is estimated that filling floorboard gaps can save a household up to £20.00 per year on energy bills and reduce its CO2 contribution by around 110kg.
