draught excluder

Door bottom insulation

A draught excluder is a strip or tube of material placed along the bottom of a door or window to block cold air from entering.

Common materials include foam, rubber, or fabric tubes filled with sand or stuffing.

The term is British; Americans typically say draft stopper or door snake.

I put a draught excluder under the front door to keep the cold out.
