Regular Non-Siliconed Wool Pile Weatherstrip

Regular wool pile weatherstrip is PP yarn pile on a woven backing, made without any silicone finish on the yarn. It is the commercial starting point for most window and door grooves: the strip follows the groove, the old sample or an approved specification rather than a generic product photo.

For the material itself and market terms such as mohair weatherstripping, use the separate What Is Wool Pile Weatherstrip guide. This page covers what buyers need to order regular pile: sizes, colors, density, how it differs from siliconed pile and how distributors plan mixed orders.

Read the wool pile material definition before comparing specifications

Non-siliconed means the PP yarn keeps its regular surface. Siliconed pile has an added surface treatment that buyers choose for smoother sliding or more outdoor exposure. Regular pile skips that treatment step, which is why it is the usual choice when the gap is ordinary and cost control matters.

In practice, the right question is what the existing window uses. If the old sample is regular pile and the window has worked well, keeping the same regular specification is usually the safest repeat choice. If users have complained about sticky sliding or the position faces heavy weather, test a siliconed or finned sample before changing.

Reference values for regular pile. Final base width and pile height follow the groove, old sample or approved specification.

Sizes are written as base width x pile height in millimeters. The sizes below come from recent regular pile quotations and are a starting point for checking a groove, not a stock list. Roll length gets shorter as the pile gets taller, so the rolls per carton change with the size.

The three pile types share the same PP yarn and backing logic but are chosen for different gaps and exposure. Compare them by the real window position, then confirm with a sample in the actual sash.

Compare siliconed vs non-siliconed wool pile in detail

Regular pile covers most everyday sealing positions where the gap is moderate and the sash movement is ordinary. Typical uses include:

• Standard sliding windows in aluminum or UPVC frames
• Aluminum doors and wooden doors with a pile groove
• Replacement of an existing regular pile sample with the same size
• Distributor stock of common sizes and colors for window accessory shops

Distributors often order regular pile as a range rather than a single item: several base widths and pile heights, each in two or three colors. To keep warehouse receiving simple, plan the range before production and separate each size and color by carton with a clear label.

Colors in regular pile include grey, black, white, brown, gold and dark brown, plus OEM colors when a sample is supplied. Send the full size and color list with quantities, and we will confirm the carton plan before production.

If the window needs smoother movement, compare the siliconed option. For a stronger barrier, see finned weather strip brush. For non-standard profiles, the custom wool pile page explains how to send drawings or old samples.
