How to Choose Brush Seal for Aluminum Sliding Windows

Measure the groove

Start with groove width, depth and backing shape. A clear end-section photo beside a ruler is more useful than a broad product name.

Choose pile height

The pile should contact the moving surface without creating unnecessary drag. Check the real gap after the sash moves rather than copying a catalog height.

Check backing and fin

Compare backing thickness and fin position with the old sample or profile drawing. Keep finned and non-finned options separate in the size list.

Record the selected specification

Keep width, height, backing, density, color and roll length together so replacement and repeat orders use the same reference.

Where the brush seal sits in an aluminum sliding window

Brush seal is used where the sliding sash meets the frame, at the meeting rails where two sashes overlap, and in profile channels designed for pile backing. Each position can use a different groove and gap, so list them separately when asking for a quote.

Through the sash movement, the pile should keep contact without folding over heavily or creating excessive drag. A profile section, a photo of the installation zone or the old strip shows where the seal sits better than a product name.

• Sash-to-frame contact along the track
• Meeting rail or interlock between two sashes
• Profile channels designed for pile backing
• Insect screen frames in the same window system

Common sizes for aluminum sliding windows

Sizes are written as base width x pile height in millimeters. Narrow 4.8-5 mm bases and 6.7-7 mm bases are both common in aluminum sliding systems; pile height follows the gap. Confirm against the groove before ordering.
