Description
This is the Opulence draught excluder in steel grey, a long velvet bolster made to lie along the foot of a door and keep the cold air where it belongs. It is a plain design, worked in soft velvet with no pattern to distract, so the interest here is all in the pile and the depth of colour. The face is a mid to dark grey that catches the light differently as it lies, brighter where the pile lifts and deeper in the folds. The reverse is plain and the edging is soft, so it sits flush against the floor rather than standing proud.
A draught excluder like this belongs at the base of an external door, a hallway door or the door to a colder room, laid down to stop the draught that slips under the gap. The neutral grey means it works against most floors and door colours, whether painted wood, natural boards or tile, and it will not fight with whatever else is in a hall or living room. Lift it aside when you open the door and lay it back when the door is shut; there is nothing to fix or fit.
It is made from 100% polyester velvet, which is a hard-wearing fibre that holds its colour well and resists the knocks that a floor-level item takes daily. Polyester velvet keeps its pile through regular use and does not crush as readily as some natural pile fabrics, which matters on something that gets nudged by feet and doors. The plain reverse and soft edging keep it neat from every angle. The supplier states it is made in the UK. A companion size is offered in the same steel grey velvet if you have a wider door to cover.

Frequently Asked
What is this draught excluder made from?
It is made from 100% polyester velvet, a soft-piled fabric that is durable and holds its colour well through everyday use at floor level.
Where should I use a draught excluder like this?
Lay it along the base of a door with a gap underneath, such as an external door, a hallway door or the door to a colder room, to block the incoming draught.
What colour is it?
It is a steel grey, a mid to dark grey velvet that reads brighter where the pile catches the light and deeper in the folds and creases.
Does it need fixing or fitting?
No, it simply lies on the floor against the door. Move it aside to open the door and lay it back once the door is closed again.
Is there more than one size?
A companion size is offered in the same steel grey velvet, so you can choose the length that suits a narrower or wider door.
