Self-Adhesive Wool Pile Weatherstrip

A self-adhesive strip has two parts to confirm. The pile part uses the same notation as groove pile: base width x pile height, for example 9x5 mm. The adhesive part is the tape laminated to the backing: its width, its grade and the liner.

Tape choice depends on the surface. A general double-sided tape suits clean painted, aluminum or laminate surfaces; buyers with a demanding surface or an existing approved product can name a specific branded tape grade, which is then written into the specification.

Values below are confirmed with a sample on the buyer's surface.

Three ways to fix a pile seal. Choose by the position first, then by the surface.

Anywhere a pile seal is needed but no groove exists, and the surface can be cleaned before fitting.

• Wooden, aluminum and UPVC door and window frames
• Sliding and wardrobe doors
• Cabinet and furniture doors
• Shower and kitchen cabinet gaps
• Retrofit sealing of older windows

Apply the sample to the real surface after normal cleaning, check that the liner peels cleanly and the strip lies straight, then check holding after the period your own standard requires and at the temperatures the position sees. Record the approved tape and size for repeat orders.
