Golden Oak — Door Weather Bar · 800 mm

What is it?

A weather bar — also called a drip bar or rain deflector — is a slim uPVC profile fixed across the face of a door or window. Its drip nose throws rainwater clear of the joint below it, so wind-driven rain is not forced under the door or across the cill. Made by Deceuninck from virgin, lead-free, UV-stable uPVC, it will not rot, warp or fade the way a timber bar does.

Where does it fit?

Across the bottom of a door, over a door head, or above a tilt & turn or casement window — anywhere water needs turning away. It suits uPVC, composite, aluminium and timber frames alike, because it is screwed to the flat face of the frame, not into the glazing or the seal.

Which length do I need?

Measure the width of the opening in between the door posts and pick that length, or the next size up — the bar cuts cleanly with a junior hacksaw and the end caps finish the cut ends. This listing is the 800 mm bar — the other lengths, 500 mm to 1190 mm, are in our eBay shop.

How do I fit it — do I need tools?

No special tools. Offer the bar up and get it level, drive the supplied self-drilling nipple screws into the face of the door, then slide the bar over the screw heads. Run a line of silicone along the top of the bar if required, and before clipping in the end caps a dab of silicone or superglue keeps them from getting lost.
