151 Adhesives Foam Weather Strip, Multi Use, Twin Pack

This has been great for some old pvc windows, some were a bit drafty, well no more! It adheres well. I also use it to stop door rattling in the wind. Easy to apply and does the job.

Don't hate it but its not fit for purpose. Ordered 26th Jan rec'd Thur 29/1.The invoice says Bargain Warehouse the packaging says Knight and fancy-itagencies ltd. The pack is 2 x 5m. Cost is £1.30 but said £1.29 when I bought it. So I could bitch about that bit of sharp practice. Its a more hardish compound rubber than foam with little give. Dimensions 9mm by 5mm . I could forgive this lack of spongeyness for what I want it for. The stuff you peel away to reveal the 'adhesive' (more later) is more paper and in my days was plasticky. The result is you have to exercise patience to slowly peel it off bit by bit. Sadly your patience will not be rewarded since the adhesive barely adheres to anything. If it did I guess it would stick to the paper. It reminds me of the sort of adherence you might expect from a weather strip left unmolested out of its package on a shelf in a garage for a number of years. It might just adhere to the window or door frame if pressed on hard enough. For how long heaven knows. Maybe just until the window/door is next opened. So this could actually be used as a cheap option to exclude draughts over a winter for instance during a period when your not likely to open the windows. I don't mind who sends it to me as long as I get it. I don't mind the time taken to peel the stuff away from the adhesive, I have the time but I don't like wasting it. The price is of course seriously attractive but if it doesn't do what it should then even a penny spent is a penny wasted. I want it to 'adhere' to something. Stick to it and be there for more than two seconds. Otherwise I consider it gets seriously close to contravening the trades description act. I bought another similar weather strip for £1.69 in the hope that if one was rubbish the other would be OK. Sadly the word 'similar' is all too appropriate. At the same time I also bought an E profile draught excluder which is much more expensive £2.69 for just 5m and thankfully that will do the job. I guess you get what you pay for.Update24/1/2019 Reordered from same supplier. It occurs to me that we are actually all talking about different products. Yep draught excluder mine this time was lenght 5m width 9mm thickness 5mm (verified) but actually in the nice cellophane pack I had 2 lots of this so 10m total. It was by Blackspur. The plastic backing peeled off precisely as it should, no paper leftovers and stuck the way it should. And to my continued surprise and delight you could just stick the first six inches in place (we can use inches now I think) press and then stretch and it doesn't tear.So great product but I do doubt whether all 27 merchants offer the same product by the same manufacturer. Anyway mine is fine thank you for asking..

Bought this a temporary fix for a draft coming from a uPVC window. The product is working well so far and has fixed the issue. I did find it a bit fiddly to set up. The backing paper wouldn't come off in one go and would need picking at leaving the exposed glue side to get stuck to it self. That could have just been user error though.

Thanks

Good product, works well and easy to use

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM, on the listing and packaging it says twin pack but when I received it, it looks like it's been tampered with at the opening and there's only one it there, better to buy from another

Still felt a draft.

This has made such a difference at home with our drafts.Easy to use but it is very sticky and can get alot on your hands, but it easily comes off.It's done a great job
