Looking for a brush strip to go along the bottom of an up & over garage
door. Found one a SF but its only 45mm wide & the gap is larger than that.

Any ideas where to get a wider one from?

Mind boggling as to why anyone would need a draught excluder for a
garage

cos people like to keep their expensive cars nice and warm at night?

me, my car sits on the drive, ok the motorbikes go in the garage, but the
rest of it is my workshop, so having it pretty draught free is a bonus, but
with the gap under the door blocked off i'd have nowhere to sweep the
sawdust and wood shavings under.

The gap is 45mm? Could you not screw a bit of wood along its length and then
attach a brush strip to the inside.

If the gap cant be coverd by a 2" wide brush then keeping leaves, rain and
other muck out is most likely.

Think I'd look at fitting something for the bottom of the door or a
smaller brush on the bootom of the door to close against. Even a 1" high
step will do a lot to stop rain driving in.

Dave,
I think 45 mm wide would be too big a gap for it without some sort of
spacer but how about this product - www.gapstop.co.uk

Because the garage is integral and you want to reduce heat losses?

A strip of plastic damp proof course membrane (Wickes £6.19 for 30m) fixed
to the bottom of the door with a strip of aluminium has been keeping the
leaves and litter out of my garage for 18 years and it's cheap and easy to
replace (only once!)

Any use?

Doesn't look to have enough gap capacity - but maybe in conjunction with
something else... ?

Although I would be inclined to make the gap smaller to start with.

Aha! Good idea - I have plenty of DPC - I use it for decks.

Thanks
