Door and window seals are an effective tool for keeping air, water, noise and bugs out of your home. The use of door and window seals can improve occupant comfort and save energy costs. Here are some steps and tips on how to properly use door and window seals.
Choose the correct sealing strip
When purchasing weatherstrips, you should choose the one that is right for the size and type of your windows and doors. There are many types of weatherstrips to choose from, including tape, slide and beaded weatherstrips. Choosing the correct seal will ensure that the seal completely covers the window and door gaps.
cleaning door and window surfaces
Before installing the sealing strip, make sure that the surface of the door and window is clean and free of oil or other stains. Use a detergent and a clean cloth to clean the surface of the door and window so that the weather strip can adhere firmly to the surface.

Use a ruler or measuring tool to measure the width and depth of the door and window gaps. You will need these measurements to cut the seal and make sure the seal completely covers the gap.

Use a ruler and scissors to cut the weatherstrip to the correct size. If you choose a self-adhesive sealing strip, make sure that after cutting, you need to stick it on the door and window first, and then pull out the bottom protective paper.
Install the sealing strip
Attach the weatherstrip to the surface of the door and window, making sure it fits securely in the gap. If you choose a beaded weatherstrip, use the beaded bead to compress the weatherstrip to ensure a secure fit.
Test the sealing effect
After installing the sealing strip, you can use your hands or a thin object such as a matchstick to check whether there are leaks in the gap between the doors and windows. If you notice a poor seal, you may need to reinstall or replace the seal.
