Tips on Weatherstripping
  • To determine the amount of weatherstripping needed, measure the perimeter of all windows and doors to be weatherstripped and add 10% for waste.

  • When applying weatherstripping, cover the entire outer edge of the door, making sure it fits tightly in the corners.

  • Apply the weatherstripping in one continuous strip down the sides of the door or window.

  • The thickness of the gap you need to fill will help determine the type of weatherstripping you choose.

  • Remember to weatherstrip doors leading to the attic and garage.
