How to seal a door | Entrance door weather stripping
|
1- This pictorial shows how to seal the gap between a door and its frame.
|
2- Many sealing tapes are available, the one that is V-shaped is preferred.
|
3- It is flat when purchased but can be bent to form a V that blocks the drafts.
|
|
4- Start by cleaning well your door and frame all around with a wet towel.
|
5- Cut the tape to size and apply while pressing firmly. Peel the adhesive on the go.
|
6- Once done, bend down the half that has no adhesive.
|
|
|
|
|
7- This is what it will look like once done. The V blocks the drafts. It always tends to open which keeps the door well sealed.
|
8- Do the same for the lock side. Cut the tape at the latch level.
|
9- You may also use this soft brush type of seals on the hinges side (not advised to the lock side as it could prevent the door from closing properly).
|
|
10- Apply it the same way to the door frame by peeling the tape little by little.
|
11- Press firmly and keep it straight.
|
12- It is almost invisible especially if its color matches well the door.
|
|
13- Finish the job by adding a door bottom which is widely available in many colors.
|
14- Do not press the door bottom downwards when fixing it with the provided screws, simply let it lay on the floor.
|
15- Now the door is sealed all around. The door bottom generates some noise at each opening when new. This is normal.
