The Ecoflap

saves energy by stopping letterbox draughts

spacer
£23.99 inc. VAT

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

Ecoflap replaces the brush, seal and outward opening gravity flaps, often put on the inside of the letter box to try to 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.

Can I use an adhesive to install my Ecoflap?
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 is it safer?
There are no springs, magnets or catches to bite fingers - or damage mail.

Do you have to take the inner flap off to install the Eco Flap?
Yes - remove everything from the inside of the letterbox. Ecoflap replaces brushes or any other hinged flap that is already on the door.

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.

  Ecoflap letterbox  We have a large entrance door (house built 1935) and, initially, the Ecoflap would not fit over the screws holding the external brass letterbox in place. Then I had a brainwave! I had a joiner install a wood oblong frame onto the door and he attached the Ecoflap to that. Simples! Very pleased    Beth Parker - Liverpool

  It works!  In the past I've tried the brush type and sprung flap type and had to remove them. The Ecoflap was easy to install and works. No more post scrunched up between letterbox and draft excluder    John - North Wales

  great for blocking draughts  This letterbox cover was easy to fit, and worked perfectly to stop draughts through our letterbox in these cold winter months, while still allowing letters to come through easily. Highly recommended    -

  Quiet  I attached this to a wooden door using bathroom sealant (as instructed) and I am sure street noise has reduced and insulation has been improved. The unit is big, one of the screw caps was missing and none of the caps fit without glue, but overall this will save us money so I'm happy.    Neil - South Devon

  Wonderful, strong, looks good and works  Tried this after 3 other brush type excluders broke due to heavy post. Fairly easy to fit. Took a while to find fixings which fitted flat enough to stop the white buttons pinging off. Suggest supplying fixings with the pack. It has survived the demands of Christmas post and works well.    Vegaholic - London

  Now draught free  Easy to fit and now draughtfree. Does what it promises    -

  Huge step forward  Have now installed two Ecoflaps in different properties without problems, but with big improvements in quietness and in draught control. The only grumble is that the six cosmetic screw covers for the brown flap are a poor fit, and I have given up replacing them.    Alan - Newcastle upon Tyne

Nigel SaysAn Ecoflap is a British invention that fits on the back of your letter box, to stop draughts coming through. It actually uses the wind to blow itself shut! It is totally draught proof, and adjusts automatically to any size of delivery. It has been estimated that up to 27% of heat in a hallway can be lost through a draughty letterbox. So sorting that out can really make a difference.
