When we say door and window sealing strips, the sheer variety of materials and styles makes it difficult for non-experts to choose. So, what kind of sealing strip is suitable for home use and easy to install?

 

We have to mention EPDM foam sealing strips. EPDM foam sealing strips also called weatherstrip, come in four different shapes and sizes: D/P/E/I. These strips all have a strong self-adhesive tape on the back.

 

How to install the sealing strips?

When choosing sealing strips, you need to measure the gaps between doors and windows and select the appropriate size. First, clean the gaps to remove any water or dirt stains. Then, cut the strip to the appropriate length. Finally, remove the adhesive tape on the backing, apply the strip, and press.

 

This material of sealing strip has excellent performance and elasticity, effectively insulates sound, protects against moisture, and repels insects. It's also easy to install.

Type D (9*8mm, 10*12mm, 12*14mm) is suitable for gaps of 3.5-5.5mm.
