Selected User Reviews For Stick 'N' Seal Adhesive Backed Triple Switch Draft Sealers. Save Energy and Money. Pack of 3
The outlet seals arrived in excellent condition and were delivered quickly. Just one outlet near my front door was all I needed. An exterior wall behind the outlet was clearly in need of additional insulation. Outside air was blowing through my outlet, and I could feel it. This was a letdown because my house is fairly new. br>br>I wrapped plastic wrap around the outlet for testing and discovered that it ballooned. Then I took off the wrap, replaced the outlet seal, and repeated the plastic wrap test. br>Finally, the following are the outcomes: There will be no inflation. All air flow through my outlet was effectively blocked by the outlet seal. br>br>It was very easy to set up. The plate cover can be taken off with just a screwdriver. In a matter of seconds, it became stalled. br>br>My only gripe is that they only come in three-packs. I can only use 1 at a time. As a result, I gave the remaining two to neighbors who were having the same issue. (Must have been an issue with the builder)br>br>Conclusion: This product has exceeded my expectations; it solved my insulation problem in a matter of seconds.
The cold air that had been flooding into the house due to the switch was cut off immediately, resulting in immediate results. We didn't use the adhesive properties because the product slipped right into the switch and stayed put. Perfect!.
The fact that I don't have to remove the sticky backing before they work is something I really like about them. This is great because, while I want to cut my energy costs and reduce drafts as soon as possible, I don't like all of the "ugly" switch plates that came with my house. I'll be able to easily remove the insert, cut it to fit the new switch plate (which would be super easy, but probably won't be necessary), and stick it directly to the backside once I've gone through and replaced them all with something more modern.
To be honest, I don't think the adhesive backing is necessary. When you consider the difficulty of removal in the future, a tighter seal doesn't really make a difference. I believe the compression of the thing against the wall and the switch plate is enough to keep it sealed. On the plus side, this type of thing for a set of three switches was difficult to come by. You can also make a two-person team, as others have mentioned. One of these needs to have a piece swapped out. Simply fold one end into the middle hole to create a nice crease line, which you can then finish with scissors.
The outcome is immediate. At the front door, we have a three-way switch. As soon as you put your hand up to it, cold air began to blow in. There was no more air after I installed the sealer. I didn't use any adhesive; instead, I simply installed it without it. It's fine; it came in a box of three, and the price is a little high for what you get, but it'll undoubtedly improve comfort and save money over time.
The item is exactly as described on the website. The glue is tough to work with. Once the adhesive has made contact with the plate cover, it will not come off. When removing the item, the alignment must be re-adjusted. br>Why isn't there a pad that fits the cover plates for camera doorbells that is a little larger?.
Used to keep air from leaking through the outside walls.
