I've got the stick on sponge draught excluder around the front door and a sausage on the floor, no problem there then.

But I'm sitting in the living room beside a sliding patio door and the curtain is flapping away tonight.

Has anyone tried putting the sponge draught excluder around a sliding door, and does it work? Or is there anything else on the market to use on sliding doors and windows?

Debbie you want to try sitting in the lounge with the wind blowing the cat flap back and forth - now that is a real draught. (the cat flap is in the lounge as that's where the front door is.) Back to your question, why not try a very thick curtain, or thermal lined curtain. I realise that's only good for the night time, when you draw them, in the day time, your'll just have to put an extra jumper on and use that hot water bottle.!
