Have a draught in the room and want to cover the vents up outside, I know there used to be clip on ones available, also heard there were adjustable ones.  But know matter what search criteria I use Icant find any.

Whats the proper name for them.

As the link shows, the only ones I seem to be able to find are flood prevention types.

TIA.   :y

The vents are there for you so you don't die of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
Do you have a gas fire in that room?

I have one but never use it, if I can stop this fooking draught then the central heating is more than adequate.

Draught is worse as I had a flush mounted open flame fire fitted, so of course the cold it passing from there to the air vent.

I've got a sliding one fitted for the same reason, but draughts still get through, so its Duct tape now. :y
