Draught excluders

This easy read information is about draught excluders.  You say draught like draft.

A draught is when you can feel cold air blowing into a room.

The cold air often comes in a gap by a window or a door when they are closed.

A draught excluder is a long piece of metal, wood or material.   

A material draught excluder looks a bit like a long sausage. 

You can put a draught excluder on a window sill or at the bottom of a door if you can feel cold air coming in.

It will help to keep the cold air out of your home.

And it will help to keep the warm air in your home.

If you put a draught excluder on the floor at the bottom of a door, be careful not to trip over it!
