Hi all

Got a bit of a gale coming from the bottom of my front door and wondered if anyone can tell me what the best option would be to seal it. Seems there are quite a few to choose from. Not even sure if it is best to get something that fits to the outside or inside.

Pics below...

Many thanks

    You can buy one of those rubber door strips from a local hardware store or somewhere such as Wilkinsons to help cut down the draught. But the best draught excluder for a front door is a nice, thick, lined curtain. Worth it's weight in gold in the cold winter months.

    For a quick instant fix in the meantime, roll an old towel or something up against the bottom of the door.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
