How to Install: 

 This video shows how to install and RP2a, however, the technique to install an RP57 is exactly the same. 

Pro Tips: 

• Once the parts are reassembled, use pliers to squeeze together the end of the carrier so the brush can’t slide out.
• Surfaces must be clean and smooth to ensure good adhesion. If the bottom of the door is rough or not straight, then screw fixing is the best option.
• Press firmly along the adhesive twice for a strong bond with the door surface.
• Pair the RP57 with a door perimeter seal such as Draught Dodgers  or EMV Seal to seal the other 3 edges of the door (two sides and the top).
• RP57 can be screw fixed but the aluminum carrier is narrow, so it may be damaged during drilling and fixing.

Q: What is a Raven Brush Seal?
A: There are several Raven brush seals that difference only in the brush length: 

• RP74 - up to 13mm gap
• RP2a - up to 19mm gap 
• RP15 - up to 25mm gap 
• RP57 - up to 50mm gap 

The brush seals attach to the bottom of your door. It is ideal for hard surfaces such as tiles, and prevents unwanted airflow from beneath your door.

Q: How do brush seals work?
A: These brush seals works by preventing the draughts from coming in under your internal doors with the brush seal.  Brush seals are attached by an adhesive strip to the bottom of your door, so a clean, stable substrate on your door is essential. 

Q: When would a brush seal fail?
A:  Your door needs to have a stable substrate.  If paint in flaking off your door, please have your door sanded and painted / stained to create a stable substrate.  Adhesive seals fail to adhere to the door when the substrate is unstable. 

Q: Will it affect the operation of my doors?
A: This product should not prevent your door from its natural function, if you can no longer open or close your door after installation, then it may have been installed incorrectly.

Q: How is the brush seal installed?

Q: Can I screw fix the Brush Seals?
A: Yes you can screw fix the brush seals. 
In the case of the RP2a the width of the aluminium carrier the aluminium carrier is narrow and you may easily damage it during drilling and screw fixing. The RP15 has a wider carrier that is much easier to screw fix. Screws are not supplied.

Q: What doors are long brush seals suitable for?
A: Brush seals are suitable for several applications:

• It is suitable for use on the bottom of hinged doors where a longer brush is needed. It is best used on internal doors but can also be used on external doors however there may be some air flow through the brush during weather with high winds. (Consider an RP3 for s single door or Draught Dodgers for French Doors for double doors).
• Can be used successfully on the bottom of hinged doors that open over short pile carpet.
• It is also suitable for draught proofing external sliding doors. In this situation it is usually fitted flat on the tread so that the brush rubs gently on the face of the door and similarly on the head of the door. In these cases the brush seal should be screw fixed. (Screws are not included).
• In some cases a brush seal can also be used on the back edge of external sliding doors to seal against the timber edge of the sidelight. (RP5 can also be used for this purpose).
• When used externally the RP15 should be screw fixed. The self adhesive should not be relied upon when exposed to weather.

Q: How do I know if I’ve installed it correctly?
A: The door should operate the same as before the installation of the brush seal.
