Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface where the strip will be applied is smooth, clean, and completely dry. Wipe down with a clean cloth and allow it to air dry thoroughly.
- 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.
- Application: Peel off the backing tape gradually as you press the weatherstrip firmly onto the prepared surface. Ensure an even and consistent application to create a complete seal.
Compatibility:
This weatherstrip is compatible with a wide range of doors and windows, including:
- Sliding doors
- Shower doors
- Storm doors
- Plastic-steel windows
- Security doors
- Closet doors
- Thresholds
It is designed to seal gaps ranging from 0 to 0.8 inches (0-20 mm).
Care:
To maintain the effectiveness and longevity of the weatherstrip:
- Clean the surface gently with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically check the adhesion and reapply pressure if any sections begin to lift.
