This specific type of sealing product is designed to protect against the elements by forming a barrier between joining surfaces, typically in doors and windows. It helps prevent drafts, moisture infiltration, and energy loss. An example application would be sealing the gap between a door and its frame to improve insulation.
Effective sealing solutions are crucial for maintaining comfortable indoor environments and reducing energy consumption. By minimizing air leakage, these products contribute to lower heating and cooling costs and a smaller carbon footprint. Historically, various materials have been employed for this purpose, ranging from simple felt and foam to more complex composite materials designed for enhanced durability and performance.
