jute products-How to Seal a Door Gap
Any well-sealed door requires two components: weatherstripping, which covers the sides and top of the door, and a sweep, which fills the space between the threshold and the door bottom. Hardware stores and home centers sell an array of metal, foam, felt, and plastic products for this purpose.Tom prefers a weather seal system that includes a tubular silicone weatherstripping that fits against the doorstop and a twin-fin silicone sweep that fits beneath the door. Silicone makes an ideal weatherstripping because it’s durable, soft, and has no “compression memory”; it remains tight as the door swells and shrinks. The following steps will teach you how to weatherstrip a door to keep cold drafts from entering your home.
