Weatherstripping is essential to making original wood windows and doors airtight and energy efficient. There are many advantages to installing weatherstripping, and when you choose Accurate Machine Made Weatherstripping, your efforts will last for decades.

WHY USE WEATHERSTRIPPING?

WHY CHOOSE ACCURATE MACHINE MADE WEATHERSTRIPPING?

There are many choices for weatherstripping on the market. Self-adhesive wool and foam may seem simpler to install. Vinyl and silicone weather strip may be cheaper. However, metal interlocking weatherstripping is far superior and longer lasting than these wimpy, lower-quality materials. Instead of a product that will crush over time and wear out, metal interlocking and spring bronze weatherstripping is incredibly rugged and will last for many years.

NOT JUST FOR COLD CLIMATES

Weatherstripping isn’t only for keeping out cold winter winds. In warm climates, it helps keep air conditioning and cool air in. It is also one of the best sound proofing efforts you can imagine. Keeping drafts from traveling in and out of your home also improves indoor air quality considerably, preventing allergens and other harmful airborne toxins from entering your building. If you have noisy neighbors, a nearby train track, or a teenage drummer, it also is an excellent soundproofing material.

ANOTHER ADDED BENEFIT – EASE OF OPERATION

A common complaint about older wooden windows and doors is that they are heavy and stick during operation. Previous attempts at sealing up leaks with wool batting and layers of paint take away their original beauty and can render them useless. These products don’t add any friction to window action. Once Accurate Machine Made weatherstripping is installed, owners are amazed at how easily their windows glide up and down, how smoothly their door operate, and how tightly these architectural components seal for the airtight operation they always wished for.
