Exterior door retrofit weatherstripping

sunstone | Posted in Green Products and Materials on

I am looking to apply weatherstripping on exterior doors, both old wooden and metal clad.
I think the typical ‘big box’ options are quite an inferior product (esp where threshold/horizontal meets vertical)
I bet European countries have had engineers remedy this.
Does anyone know of a North American product that is a superior product that doesn’t need to be replaced every 5 years due to fatiguing plastics etc and actually seals close to 100% to begin with.

    Hi Richard -

    Conservation Technology has been the go-to resource for quality gaskets for as long as I can remember. Great products and great people.
