About this door bottom seals & brush strips
ESUFEIR 1m Black Silicone Door Bottom Draught Strip
Black is the colour that suits modern doors: aluminium bifolds, black-framed glass doors, dark composite front doors and anything with a contemporary look. A white strip along the bottom of a black door is a visual error, and this strip puts it right.
The strip is a metre long and about 5cm wide, made of silicone with a strong adhesive. It is designed for gaps of 0 to 25mm, which makes it a reasonable all-rounder for standard doors. The supplier lists frameless sliding doors, glass doors, wood doors and garage doors among the uses, since a silicone strip can follow a smooth glass or metal surface as well as timber.
To fit, clean and dry the door surface, cut the strip to length and press it on after peeling the backing. Measure the gap first, since a seal that is too thin will not touch the floor and a seal that is too deep will drag. If your door is wider than a metre, use two strips butted together.
