Why this seal matters
Gaps around doors are a common source of energy loss, dust infiltration, and noise transfer. This top-and-sides door seal helps address those issues by creating a snug, continuous barrier where the door meets the jamb. Its rubber composition provides dependable compression and resilience, so the seal maintains contact even after repeated door cycles. Install it to improve room comfort, reduce heating and cooling costs, and keep unwanted drafts at bay.
Ideal use cases
- Front entry and exterior doors where wind and cold drafts enter
- Interior doors between rooms to minimize temperature swings
- Doors in basements, garages, or workshops that experience frequent openings
- #DIY projects: temporary or semi-permanent weatherproofing on door jambs
Installation considerations
- Measure your door height and cut the 81-inch strip to the right length if needed.
- Align the seal along the top and sides of the door jamb, ensuring there is a consistent contact with the door when closed.
- Attach using your preferred hardware since this seal does not include hardware or adhesive. Choose fasteners that suit your door jamb material (wood, metal, or composite).
- Close the door and verify a uniform seal along all contact points; trim any excess if necessary for a clean fit.
