Fluffy bit!!!! (1 Viewer)

[Gingernuts]

What’s the fluffy bit on an insect door screen called and where can I get some!?
When my insect screen door is closed there is a 1/2 inch gap between the fluffy bit and the door frame! My idea was to fit another fluffy bit to the door frame negating the midgie highway space!

Looks like a brush seal of some description.

You may need some of the Double action brush listed here -

Although I'd check that nothing was fouling the door first as I'd imagine it's difficult to damage, you could try combing it!

There shouldn't be a gap so I would be inclined to try and find out why it's not closing properly.

Vanman thanks for the info
Everybody else there’s nothing obstructing the door!

Our Globecar Campscout has a similar gap. It lets everything in, except, moths, dragonflys and daddy long legs much to the Navigation, Catering and Soft Furnishings Managers annoyance.

Why does the Navigation, Catering and Soft Furnishings manager annoyed that the gap does not let in moths, dragonflies and daddy long legs? May I ask?

My Elddis CV20 is the same, it seems the whole CV range had this problem up until this year, never bothered us, we have only tried to use it once, and that was to try and stop nosy neighbours
