Title: Door insulation
Post by: Adam Fearnley on November 18, 2010, 01:30:16 pm

Does anyone know what the thing is called that you can hang from a slightly open door to close the gap, preventing noise and cold coming through?  it's just like a long thin cushion, I've seen them on american websites.

Thanks, but all I find is ones for the bottom of the door, and not the side.

Or use a duvet folded in half and sewn together so that it fits over the top of the door then add some velcro straps to hold it in place.  A chemical bottle placed behind the door to keep it closed and the job's done.

"keeps animals outside" hahaha yeah cos I'm plagued by squirrels waltzing in to my customers' houses whilst I'm working.

Actually, just the other day, I came downstairs to turn the machine off and damn me if a herd of wildebeest hadn't sneaked in to the dining room whilst I wasn't looking!
