Supplies Required:
Staple guns or screwdrivers, depending on the kind of weather stripping
Steps:
1. Calculate the Area:
To measure the length of the door or window frame where the weather stripping will be installed, use a measuring tape. Don't forget to measure each side.
2. Select the Appropriate Weather Stripping:
Weather stripping comes in a variety of forms, such as door sweeps, V-strip, adhesive-backed foam tape, and more. Select the kind that works best for the area you are sealing and your needs.
3. Sanitize the Surface:
Make sure the area is dry and clean before applying the weather stripping. Eliminate any old weather stripping, dust, or filth.
4. Cut the Weather Stripping:
To match, measure and cut the weather stripping. Use the measurements you made in step 1. Most weather stripping types should be easily cut with scissors or a utility knife.
5. Apply Adhesive (if necessary):
Peel off the protective layer carefully and push the weather stripping into the door or window frame if it has an adhesive backing. To ensure a strong binding, make sure to apply equal pressure.
6. Fasten with screws or staples, if necessary:
Door sweeps are one kind of weather stripping that could require fastening with screws or a staple gun. For the particular product you're using, adhere to the manufacturer's directions.
7. Look for any gaps:
Once the weather stripping is in place, shut the window or door and look for any gaps. As necessary, make adjustments to guarantee a tight seal.
8. Continue with the Other Windows/Doors:
Make sure you repeat the procedure for every door or window you're weather stripping.
Conclusion
That is all! Adding weather stripping to your home is an affordable approach to maintain comfort and increase energy efficiency.
