Hunter Animal Linen Draught Excluder - Multicolour

This is the Hunter draught excluder, a long bolster designed to sit along the foot of a door and keep the cold air out. The front panel carries a row of leaping hares, hand-painted in soft browns and set against a plain cream ground, so the animals read clearly rather than fighting a busy pattern. It is made from a 96% polyester and 4% linen blend, which gives you the soft handle of a natural fibre with the hard-wearing character of a synthetic, sensible for something that spends its life being nudged along a floor.

A draught excluder earns its place at the base of any external door, or the door to a room you are trying to keep warm, a hallway, a study, a living room that borrows heat from the boiler. It works equally at the foot of a sash window where the frame no longer seals tightly. The leaping hares and the tartan give it a country feel, so it settles happily into a neutral or country-inspired scheme without needing anything to match it. Lay it against the door, and it does its job by weight and length rather than by fixing, so you can move it from room to room as the seasons turn.

The reverse is a traditional tartan panel in muted greens and rusts, edged with a contrasting piped trim, which means you get two looks from one piece depending on which face you turn outward. The hares run along the length in a repeated stride, a modern take on a classic country motif. Being a polyester-rich blend, it keeps its shape and colour through everyday knocks, and it pairs naturally with wood floors, warm-toned rugs and the kind of settled, lived-in room where a hare on the door looks entirely at home.

What is this draught excluder made from?

It is a blend of 96% polyester and 4% linen, so it feels soft to the touch while the high polyester content keeps it hard-wearing for daily use against a door.

Is the design the same on both sides?

No, the two faces differ. One side shows the leaping hare print on a cream ground, and the reverse is a traditional tartan panel, so you can turn whichever look you prefer to the front.

Where is it made?

It is designed, printed and made in the United Kingdom, as stated by the supplier for this item.

Which doors does it suit?

It suits any internal or external door where you want to stop cold air creeping under the gap, and it also works at the foot of a draughty sash window.

Does it need fixing to the door?

No, it simply rests along the base of the door under its own weight, so you can lift it and move it between rooms whenever you need to.
