Full details

The Metany Door Weatherstrip is designed for homeowners seeking to improve energy efficiency and reduce drafts. Its key benefit is creating a superior seal for doors and windows, saving on heating and cooling costs.

What benefits does this weatherstrip offer besides sealing drafts?

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not sticking well.

Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and smooth. In cooler temperatures, pre-heat the adhesive side of the strip with a hairdryer on low heat before application. Press firmly along the entire length after application.

Drafts are still noticeable after application.

Verify that the gap size is within the 0-0.8 inch range and that the strip is applied to cover the entire gap. Check for any overlapping or uneven application. Ensure the surface is completely sealed.

Weatherstrip peels off after a short period.

The surface may not have been properly prepared (dirty, wet, or not smooth). Ensure proper surface preparation and consider reapplying after cleaning, potentially using the pre-heating method.

Reduced flexibility in cold weather.

While designed for all weather, extreme cold can temporarily stiffen silicone. Allow the strip to warm up naturally or use a hairdryer on low heat if immediate flexibility is needed. Ensure it's correctly applied for maximum effect.

  2. Pre-heating (Recommended in Cooler Conditions): If applying in a cool or humid environment, use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to gently warm the adhesive side of the weatherstrip before application. This will enhance its stickiness.
