Widdops letterbox seals
Letterbox brushes are designed to block draughts and debris from entering your property, while still allowing post to pass through the letterbox seal. Widdops custom-makes brushes for letterboxes, ensuring each letterbox brush strip is made to measure and will fit a wide variety of letterbox sizes.
There is no standard size for letterboxes in the UK, so having a custom-made letterbox brush strip, especially for self-seal large letter boxes, is a simple solution to get the perfect fit for your letterbox. Widdops letterbox brush seals can be manufactured in a selection of colours and materials, with standard or custom-length letterbox bristles for nearly any requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Letterbox Brush Strips
-
The letterbox bristles should always go on the interior side of the door. The outer, exterior side should have a letterbox plate or flap which lifts to reveal the letterbox seal and letterbox bristles inside.
-
Letterbox brush seals are designed to stop draughts, insects, dirt and debris from entering your property. Letterbox bristles block out any prying eyes or pests, while still allowing letters and post to pass through the letterbox seal.
-
The ‘hair’ you see inside a letterbox isn’t actually hair, they’re synthetic letterbox bristles! Historically, letterbox brushes were made from animal hair, but modern letterbox seals feature a letterbox brush strip with stiff nylon or plastic letterbox bristles.
-
The quickest way to draught-proof a letterbox is to install a letterbox seal with letterbox brush strips. By installing a letterbox brush, you can prevent the elements from entering your home and eliminate any potential draughts through the letterbox.
-
The ideal materials for letterbox bristles are synthetic, with nylon and polypropylene being the most popular choices. Letterbox brush bristles need to be durable enough to bend and flex when mail enters the letterbox, but hardwearing enough to withstand the elements and prevent dirt and draughts from getting in.
