How to install weather stripping?
Weather stripping foam seal tape is easy to install, just requiring you to stick it where it needs to go and make sure it won't get rubbed off or damaged by doors and windows opening and closing. Window film kits are easy to install and just need to be cut to size, applied around window frames, and shrunk with heated air to make a tight seal. Door weather stripping seals usually just need to be nailed, screwed, or glued onto doors.
What are the different kinds of weather stripping material?
The most common type of weather stripping insulation material is foam tape, which can be used around windows and doors to seal gaps that can let in drafts. Plastic sheets are another common type of weather stripping that are used to insulate windows.
Is weather stripping waterproof?
Most weather stripping foam is water-resistant but not as waterproof as silicone or caulking. However, weather stripping foam tape allows you to seal gaps around doors and windows while still letting you open them when needed.
How often should you replace your weather stripping?
It's helpful to inspect your window weather stripping and garage door weather stripping once a year, usually in fall before the cold weather arrives, to see if there's any damage that requires replacement. Window plastic kits are generally taken off in spring and need to be replaced every fall.
