i think they're called draught excluders - name applies not only to comedy dog shaped stuffed items, but also the rubber brushes/seals attached to the door itself

Tutter · 15/05/2007 12:46

except they're draft excluders, obviously

foxinsocks · 15/05/2007 12:47

ahh yes draught excluders, well done aimsmum

badelaide · 15/05/2007 12:47

Double glazing salesmen?

Oh, sorry, just read op.

LadyTophamHatt · 15/05/2007 12:47

can't be a draft excluder, I make those and use them indoors.....I'm sure you woud use one outside.

fryalot · 15/05/2007 12:47

not to be pedantic, but I think you were right the first time, tutter, draught excluders....

well I thought draught excluders but I just keep getting those brush things that you attach to the bottom of the door, this is in the door opening like a little gulley?

Yes, I've got one but it's too shallow on one side and I can't put a mat on the carpet AND open the door!

PandaG · 15/05/2007 13:00

I think I know exactly what you mean, is at the bottom of a upvc door yes - but I wouldn't know the name either!

BarryScott · 15/05/2007 13:01

Is it any of these words:

Modern or traditional styles make great first impressions Tailor-made doors to virtually any size in timber including hardwood, uPVC and aluminium and composite Insulated, double-glazed and double-draught-proofed doors for ultimate warmth Everest doors need little or no maintenance Welcome home to Everest doors
Make your home more attractive and secure with Everest doors made and fitted to our exacting standards.

Doors that keep up appearances
In uPVC, aluminium and hardwood, all our doors add lasting beauty, modern or traditional, to the benefits they bring.

Doors 50% more secure
Our uPVC entrance doors are highly secure, 50% more secure than BSI standards for doors.

Top security for doors
In uPVC, we fix all hinges, locks and keeps directly into the door?s steel reinforcement. In all our doors, we fit security features such as multi-point locking.

Safer doors with toughened glass as standard
In every Everest door, we use toughened glass which shatters only into small, relatively harmless pieces. This includes doors in Everest porches and conservatories.

Warmly insulated in so many ways
Everest doors include double-glazed and double-draught-proofed sealed units to keep your home wonderfully warm and draught-free.

Window coatings save energy
All inner windowpanes in our doors use Everest Heatlok with coated energy-saving ?low-emissivity? glass to reflect heat back inside your home, and save on fuel bills.

Warmth and security in one door
In an Everest door, you can also have our unique Heatlok Security Plus sealed window units for ultimate security and insulation.

The gap that?s warmer and quieter
In the double-glazed windows built into our doors, a 20-millimetre air gap between panes of glass keeps more warmth in, and more noise out.

Barriers against cold
Everest uPVC doors are multi-chambered, and our aluminium doors have thermal breaks to conserve heat. Our timber doors insulate naturally against cold.

End condensation in doors
While no one can guarantee against condensation on the outside surface of your door?s inner panes, Everest doors reduce condensation greatly or eliminate it altogether.

Tailor-made doors to fit your home
Every door we make is tailor-made for your home to virtually any width and height you need.

So many options
You have options for your Everest doors such as authentic Georgian bars, leaded lights, bevelled glass and a range of door furniture.

Glass options in all our doors
Everest offer a comprehensive range of glass for doors. To keep you warmer or cooler, or to keep intruders out, we have the glass.

The highest standards in doors
Everest possess the British Standards Institute ISO 9001:2000 accreditation which shows we manufacture and install our doors to the highest standards in the industry.

uPVC doors lifetime guarantee
On top of our full 10-year guarantee, only we give a lifetime guarantee against fog or condensation in the double-glazed sealed units within our uPVC doors.
