This easily installed sealant is designed to block drafts and reduce energy loss by forming a barrier between the fixed and movable components of windows and doors. Typically constructed of materials like rubber, foam, or plastic, these products are attached to door or window frames without the need for adhesives or tools. A common example is the foam strips applied to the bottom of a drafty door.
Effective sealing against air and moisture infiltration significantly improves energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling costs. This contributes not only to financial savings but also to a smaller carbon footprint. Additionally, such sealing can enhance comfort by minimizing drafts and reducing noise transmission. While various sealing methods have existed for centuries, the development of easily installable products like this has broadened accessibility and simplified the process of improving home insulation.
