DraughtEx A quick and easy way to stop floorboard draughts and heat loss Simple to install Saves £20.00 - £40.00/room/year on energy bills with added comfort Why Fill Floorboard Gaps? Gaps in between floorboards create cold draughts which lead to chilly rooms, discomfort during the winter months and increased heating bills. Floorboard gaps also allow insect infestation. Timber floors contract and expand throughout the course of their life. These variations cause alternative floorboard sealants such as papier-mache, wood filler and silicon to become ineffective and loose and eventually drop out. If you have experienced these problems, DraughtEx is the solution. DraughtEx will mimic the movement pattern of the timber and therefore remain in place. Thus retaining insulation, eliminating cold draughts and improving the comfort and energy efficiency of your home. Easy to install with the free applicator, DraughtEx requires no adhesives and compliments the overall finish of your floorboards. Its flexible properties allow DraughtEx to be applied to a wide range of gaps which will be completely sealed, and can also be used to seal gaps between floorboards and skirting boards. DraughtEx comes supplied with a free applicator and comes in 3 sizes: Thin for gaps of 3mm or less, standard for gaps of 3 - 7mm and thick for gaps of 8 - 12mm. Energy Savings 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. Based on the results of research carried out by The Energy Saving Trust, it is estimated that filling floorboardgaps can save a household up to £20.00-£40.00/room/year on energy bills and reduce its CO2 contribution by around 110kg.
