Use of weather strips
Weather strips can refer to processes or agents used to seal small openings around windows, doors, trunk lids, and other areas that need to be tightly sealed. Essentially, the design purpose of the weather strip is to eliminate airflow from the internal space to the external space.
Due to this feature, in order to more effectively heat and cool the internal space, wind and rain strips are usually added to window sashes and doors. Windows may be equipped with weather strips.
Weather strips can take several different forms. When it comes to handling airflow from a small open space between the bottom of the door and the floor, adding a small rubber strip along the door sill is usually sufficient to seal the area. The weather strip will effectively block the airflow between the inside and the outside, while still allowing the door to open and close easily.
The weather strip door can be completed while the door is hanging, or added later, if the house is settled down. The same type of rubber strips may be installed on the windows. Usually, this is the type of rain strip used when building a new house.
For old houses, it is possible to buy foam waterproofing strips with adhesive backs. Homeowners can easily install this type of sealant, while still being able to open and close windows at will. This kind of windshield is usually a cheap way to deal with airflow, which can save a lot of heating and cooling costs.
The home is not the only place where weather strips are frequently used. Cars use a large number of weather strips around each door of the vehicle and around the trunk area. Many public buildings use weather strips around entrances and exits to prevent rain and harsh temperatures. Basically, the weather strip can be used wherever a seal needs to be formed around the opening.
