door sweep
Gap-blocking floor strip
A door sweep is a strip of flexible material—rubber, vinyl, or brush bristles—attached to the bottom edge of a door to seal the gap between door and threshold.
Door sweeps block drafts, dust, insects, and light from passing underneath: Installing a door sweep cut our heating bill noticeably.
