A quick and easy way to tell if new door weatherstrip is needed is to check for sunlight peeking through the edges around a door. If this is the case with any of your doors, it’s definitely time to seal their tops and sides with one of these Climaloc® products.
CF10694 and CF10695 are Climaloc® Top & Sides Door Seal kits with spring-loaded weather stripping, which enables their bulb seal to tightly conform to the surfaces it presses up against. If you’re looking for something a bit less technical and a bit more customizable, Climaloc® CF20855 is a wise choice. It’s lightweight, only requires nails to install, seals uneven surfaces, and can be painted or stained. And for exceptionally tight seals, magnetic top and sides kits are your go-to. Climaloc® CF20825 is an example of a premium kit for weatherproofing the top and sides of steel doors—these strips stay flexible in cold temperatures, and their magnetic sections ensure a tight seal on metal surfaces.
Tip 3:
Foam Tape
Foam window seal tape is perfect for general sealing projects. Climaloc® offers closed-cell foam tapes and open-cell foam tapes. Closed-cell foam tapes are for sealing your windows from air and debris, reducing noise, and resisting water. Open-cell foam tapes are lower in density, making them particularly useful for small or irregular gaps that require a sealing material with greater compressibility.
Extra-Durable Foam
Extra-Durable Foam window seal tapes offer better adhesive properties than typical foam tapes. They are effective for sealing windows exposed to harsher weather conditions. Because of their closed-foam design and additional rigidity, these products aren’t well-suited to filling small spaces, but their limited compressibility means they’ll provide a tighter seal and reduce vibrations.
