Draught Proofing
Draught Proofing helps UAE property owners deal with seals and strips to reduce dust ingress and AC loss around doors and windows. Book when sand enters under doors or AC costs rise from leaky frames. Handyman approaches each visit with a clear brief, tidy working habits, and practical advice for looking after the finished work.
Draught Proofing is commonly requested when households notice visible light under apartment doors, whistling balcony doors in wind, AC working overtime in summer, and old foam strips crumbling. Left alone, small faults can stain finishes, waste water or energy, or make rooms harder to use day to day.
During the visit we typically handle gap measurement at affected openings, installation of brush, foam, or silicone seals as suited, door sweep fitting where thresholds allow, and operation check so doors still latch. The sequence depends on access, the condition of existing fittings, and whether surrounding surfaces need protection while we work.
Customers choose professional help for draught proofing when they want gaps are measured and sealed with appropriate strips without binding doors. That matters in busy Marina apartments, family villas, and commercial spaces where downtime needs to stay short.
