The Ecoflap

saves energy by stopping letterbox draughts

spacer
£23.99 inc. VAT

The Ecoflap fits onto the back of your letter box, and is designed to exclude draughts and bad weather from your home. It's quick and easy to install, and it'll start saving you energy straight away.

An Ecoflap replaces the brush, seal and outward opening gravity flaps, traditionally put on the inside of the letter box to help keep draughts out. The difference is that an Ecoflap uses the wind to blow it shut!

It is totally draught proof, and adjusts automatically to any size of delivery - up to A4 and including thickish newspapers and magazines

Keep the existing letterbox exterior (or change if you like) to retain the aesthetics of your front door.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't the letter box inside flap blow open?
The product is finely balanced - the plate is biased so that the opening force is counteracted by a greater closing force.

Why is it draught proof?
The plate won't rattle, either by wind force or passing traffic rumbling by, thus no cold air or rain will filter in, and no heat will escape. Ecoflap is also rain and snow proof!

Why is it classed as eco friendly?
Ecoflaps contribute towards saving energy costs. The letter box can be a "silent culprit" for losing heat. It has been estimated that up to 27% of heat can be lost through one.

The outside plate on my letter box is metal. Will it be compatible with a plastic one inside?
Yes, a metal plate can contribute to cold air coming through to the inside plate and consequently inside your house. If the inside plate is ABS - a form of plastic - it will act as a barrier with lower thermal conducting properties.

My doors bang when there is a "through"draught - will it stop this?
It will certainly help the situation. There is no passage of air through the plate, in either direction.

Why is it safer?
There are no springs, magnets or catches to bite fingers - or damage mail.

Why is Ecoflap so simple to use?
The Ecoflap is lightweight and conveniently operated with one hand. It adjusts to the size of delivery and there are no components to break. The product is easily fitted having a small lip along the lower edge that rests onto your existing lower ledge of your aperture. This lines up perfectly with the outside plate. Screw caps cover each of the screw holes of the flange. Alternatively, it may be fitted with adhesive on metal or upvc doors if preferred.

  Works really well  Easily fitted and effective immediately    derry - beds

  Excellent  I was surprised on easy it was to fit and i noticed the change in temp in a short space of time 2 hrs plus there was a reduction in road noise from the upvc door    mr b denton - cheshire

  Stop draughts  This was easy to install and has cut down on the draught coming through the letterbox. Would be even better if a bit flatter and not so plastic looking.    Donna - London

    This was fitted during the very cold weather and has improved the temperature in the hallway It was also easy to fit.    -

  Brilliant at stopping draughts!  This is a brilliant innovation and does exactly what it promises. It was easy to fit, even over our oddly shaped letter box and has definitely reduced the chill factor in the hall, by stopping the raging draught we used to have to put up with. Letters, newspapers and magazines all fit through ok.    Jan Stanley - Lincolnshire.

  Pretty Cool Flaps!  We are loving our draft free Eco-Flap. Thanks!    -

  Excellent product. Every home should have one!  Very easy to fit and really works. So far none of the larger Christmas post has got stuck as used to happen with my previous letter box flap. Does exactly what it says on the box.    J S - York
