From drafts, holes you can see, to higher utility bills, our technicians are here to provide fast, reliable service. We custom fit every installation to your specific door and offer a tight, clean seal that will last.

 

Types of Weather Stripping and How to Choose

Weather stripping isn't one-size-fits-all. There are different materials and styles, each with its own uses:

 

1. Foam Tape

Best applied to: Doors and windows with consistently spaced gaps

 

2. Felt Strips

Best applied to: Low-traffic situations or short-term repairs

 

3. V Strip (Tension Seal)

Best applied to: Sashes of double-hung windows, sliding windows

 

4. Door Sweeps

Best applied to: Bottom of exterior doors

 

5. Rubber or Vinyl Tubing

Best applied to: Door frame gaps

 

 

A small mistake can yield a massive loss hence it must be made sure that some regular mistakes are retained in memory before conducting weather stripping. Below are some mistakes that must be retained in memory:

 

● Leaving the surface preparation out: Glue will not stick to dirt or grease.

 

● Installing the incorrect type of weather stripping: Incompatibility may lead to ineffective performance.

 

● Cutting the pieces too short: This creates gaps and reduces efficiency.

 

● Too much compression of foam: Makes it less durable and effective.

 

● Overlooking corners: Point junctions are where leaks tend to happen the most.

 

How often Weather stripping must be replaced?

 

Typically, it would endure 3 to 5 years but in a few cases like overuse, weather exposure, or improper installation, it shortens its period. It's wise to pay attention to doors and windows each season especially during winters.
