Nigel's Eco Store > Energy Saving Products › Heating Efficiency / Insulation › Letterbox Ecoflap The Ecoflap - saves energy by stopping draughts coming through your letter boxThe Ecoflap fits on the back of your letter box, and is designed to exclude draughts and inhospitable weather from your home. It's quick and simple to install, and starts saving you energy straight away. Ecoflaps replace the brushes, seals and outward opening gravity flaps on the inside of the letter box, traditionally used to help keep draughts out. The difference is that an Ecoflap is totally draught proof and adjusts automatically to any size of delivery - up to A4 and including thickish newspapers and magazines. You keep the existing letterbox exterior (or change if you like) to retain the aesthetics of your front door. To order, click on add to basket, or read on for more information. More information N.B Sticking the Ecoflap to your door instead of bolting it, using an adhesive such as a kitchen/ bathroom sealant, is also okay, for example on metal doors, or if preferred. 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% 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. This product usually ships within 24 hours. Standard UK delivery cost is £3.95. Not what you're after? View all the eco products in our energy saving devices section, or click on any of the links on the left hand side to see more.
