Twin Draft guard as seen on TV
By xshellyx on
The Northwest can be a cold, windy and wet place to be for 6 months out of the year and I've always had problems keeping those cold drafts from getting into my older home.In the past, I've used rugs, towels, and those cute little door draft animal things to keep the air from getting in under my front door.These items all worked fine at keeping the cold air from coming in but they kept everything else from coming in also!Trying to open the door from the outside was nearly impossible to do with all these items blocking it.That all changed when I saw the commercail for Twin Draft Guard on TV.I don't usually fall for TV commercial products but I thought this one just might be the answer I needed. It might even save me some money in the long run on my heating bill.
They are 19.99 for a set of two plus shipping.It's a little expensive for a couple pieces of foam covered in material but they have proven to be worth the money!You simply cut the foam tubes to just under the width of the door and trim away the excess material.They do stop any and all drafts from coming in and they move very easily with the door when opening.The only drawback would be having a rug inside the door that is hard to move over with the door guard.Otherwise it glides wonderfully over tile and carpet without an extra rug.I've been using this for most of the winter and can tell a huge difference!More can be seen at http://www.twindraftguard.com/.
Sounds like the Twin Draft Guards work well for you. If they stop cold air from entering your home, they're worth the price. Great idea!
I must remember this for this coming winter-I too had seen the commercials but of course was skeptical about if they worked or not!
I've always wondered if these worked as easily as shown on TV. I see you ranked it as a zero on security - LOL - guess those towels you were using did one thing better than this product!
thanks for sharing that wonderful product. You are helping people to have more faith in what has been advertised on TV.Thanks for sharing your experience.
What an innovative product there, in the long run you do save a lot of heating bill . Glad that it works so well.
I'm in the NW too! I wondered about this product myself. I may have to check this out for next winter.
I will have to search for this! Sounds better then the balled up towels I use!
I was tempted by these when I saw the ad for them! thanks!
I agree, it does seem pretty expensive. I might be able to make one myself but we usually just stuff old rags under the doors.. maybe we'll get this or something like it
i've heard about this product before and i'm very interested in it. it very innovative as well as saving on heating and cooling bills.
