JML Navy Seal - The ultimate waterproof repair tape

Product Information

Clearcast said they were provided with independent test reports which they considered demonstrated the efficacy of the tape in preventing significant levels of heat loss. Specifically, they stated that one of the reports measured air flow as 0.52 metres per second (m/s) without the tape and as 0.003 m/s when the tape had been applied. They also referred to the thermal imagery and stated that the report showed that, when the tape was applied, the door was warmer. As a result, they concluded that the tape performed effectively and preventing draughts and heat loss.

How To Return A Product We then assessed the second independent study which evaluated the effectiveness of the tape in preventing draughts and heat loss. Firstly, to test the efficacy of the tape in preventing draughts, airflow was measured both before and after the application of the tape. We noted that after the application of the tape that air flow reduced from 0.52 m/s to 0.03 m/s and considered that demonstrated the tape could be used effectively to reduce airflow and draughts. However, we understood that this test did not measure heat loss or the temperature of the home, and as such considered it did not substantiate the tape’s ability to retain a significant amount of heat across surfaces. Decor style – If the draught excluder will be sitting in a prominent place such as a living room, consider a style that matches with your existing decor. This will see it blend in with the surroundings and follow through with the overall aesthetic of your home. Alternatively, you might be after something that stands out. A bright colour among darks, or one of the many adorable character and animal-style excluders can act as a statement piece in your home. Customer satisfaction is at the core of what we do.

The ad must not be broadcast again in its current form. We told John Mills Ltd t/a JML to ensure that they did not misleadingly exaggerate the efficacy of the Navy Seal Draught in the absence of adequate substantiation. The product description claims 'it will bast through every last bit of dirt, grime, soap scum, lime scale, calcium and hard water stains like a whirlwind!' - This was not my experience of the product. My advice - buyer beware. Also available are double-sided door snakes, which have cushioning on either side of a flat part in the middle, which slides under your door. This offers draught protection on both sides. For external doors, there are brush-style excluders that allow for natural ventilation while stopping draughts. The bristles in this type are particularly useful in those instances where the floor is uneven. Please note that during particularly busy periods, it may take a little longer to receive your delivery and our carrier may attempt to deliver to you on a Saturday.

We then analysed the “before” and “after” thermal imagery resulting from the test. We noted that in the “after” image, the colour which denoted a cool temperature, had decreased around the gaps in the doorframe and the middle portion of the door, and that the colour demonstrating a hot temperature had increased across the upper portion of the door. However, we noted that a considerable portion of the gaps between the door, as well as the door itself, remained in colours which indicated a cool temperature and, therefore, that heat loss was still occurring. We considered that did not align with the “after” imagery shown in the ad, in which red light emanated from the whole of the doorframe, nor did it substantiate that the tape would considerably increase the temperature of a home. Its sponge cotton rolls can be trimmed to better fit the length of your door, after which the draught excluder can be attached to the bottom of the door, where it’s secured by elastic, hook and loop tape. Conveniently, the external material is machine washable. The title name 'hurricane' is very misleading - 300rpm sounds a lot, hardly powerful enough to ‘blast’ through a week’s worth of grime and lime build up. The power produced hardly compares to a very strong wind. Founded in 1986 by John Mills, JML was run from the basement of his family house in Camden. Today, JML is still a family-owned and run business, with the same guiding principles of quality, value, and innovation that we had when we launched our first product, as we have now with over 2000 products sold across 50 countries, worldwide.

We also noted that the thermal imagery in this study used the ‘Ironbow’ colour palette, which differed from the ‘Rainbow’ colour palette used in the ad. We noted from the two reports supplied by JML that different colour palettes could be applied to the same thermal image, and that whilst the same results would be reflected in the images, different colour ranges were used to display the information. However, we understood that the Rainbow palette utilised a wider variety of colours and was commonly used to differentiate between minimal heat differences. As such, we considered that the contrast between the before and after images in the ad may have appeared more dramatic than the reality of the temperature difference. Draught location – Consider the location from where cool air is getting into your home. If the issue is mainly draughty windows, or draught from the side of a door, foam tape that you can cut to size and place anywhere will be the best option.

We noted that neither the methodology nor the temperature at which the tests took place were referenced within the study. Because of that, we were unable to sufficiently analyse the conditions under which the test took place.
