How to Use the Exitex Self Adhesive Draught Excluder Weather Foam Tape

Materials Needed

• Exitex Self Adhesive Draught Excluder Weather Foam Tape (6mm x 15m – White)
• Scissors
• Measuring Tape
• Clean Cloth
• Optional: Pencil or Marker

Preparation

1. Identify the area where you intend to apply the draught excluder. This could be around doors, windows, or any other gaps that allow draughts.
2. Use the clean cloth to thoroughly clean the surface where the tape will be applied. Ensure it is free from dust, dirt, and grease for optimal adhesion.

Measuring and Cutting

1. Use the measuring tape to measure the length of the gap or area you want to seal.
2. Transfer this measurement to the foam tape. You can use a pencil or marker to mark the length on the tape if needed.
3. Carefully cut the tape to the required length using scissors.

Application

1. Peel back a small section of the adhesive backing from one end of the tape.
2. Press the exposed adhesive section firmly onto the starting point of the surface you are sealing.
3. Continue to peel the backing gradually, pressing the tape firmly into place as you go along the length of the gap.
4. Ensure the tape is applied evenly and without any bubbles or gaps.

Final Checks

• Check that the tape is securely attached along its entire length.
• Ensure that there are no loose ends and that the tape effectively seals the gap to prevent draughts.

Maintenance

• Periodically check the tape for wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas.
• Replace the tape if it becomes damaged or loses adhesion over time.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the Exitex Self Adhesive Draught Excluder Weather Foam Tape to reduce draughts and improve energy efficiency in your home.
