This KDMD 6m Rubber Seal Weather Strip is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to improve thermal efficiency and eliminate cold draughts in their living spaces. Its primary benefit is providing a robust, waterproof barrier for gaps between 4mm and 6mm, ensuring a snug fit for most standard door and window frames. While it offers excellent sealing properties, users should note that the high-strength adhesive requires a clean, dry surface for optimal, long-term bonding.

Yes, the high-density silicone rubber is waterproof and designed to withstand outdoor conditions.
This specific variant is available in black to ensure a sleek and concise appearance.
You can use a small piece of play-dough or putty in the gap, close the door or window, and then measure the thickness of the compressed putty.
It is designed for long-term use with a strong adhesive, though it can be removed with effort if the surface is cleaned properly.
It is not recommended to paint over the silicone surface as the paint will not adhere well and may crack as the seal compresses.
Ensure the surface was completely clean and dry before application. If it continues to peel, clean the frame again and apply a small amount of contact adhesive.
The seal may be too thick for the specific gap. Verify that the gap is indeed between 4mm and 6mm; if it is smaller, consider a thinner profile tape.
Use a standard adhesive remover or warm soapy water with a plastic scraper to gently lift the residue from the frame surface.
To ensure a successful installation, first clean the application surface thoroughly using isopropyl alcohol or a gentle detergent to remove dust, grease, or paint flakes. Measure the frame carefully and cut the 6m strip to the desired lengths. Peel the protective backing away gradually while pressing the strip firmly into the frame to ensure maximum contact. Compatibility is high with wood, metal, and PVC frames. For care, avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners on the seal; a simple wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient to remove debris or dust buildup over time.
