About this draught excluder tape & foam strips
Dark frames are fashionable, and they make a white seal look like an accident. A black D-profile tape solves it: the seal vanishes into anthracite grey or black window frames, a dark composite door or an old oak frame.
The UPSEN tape is made from EPDM rubber that has been evenly foamed, so the rubber is the same smooth texture all the way through, and the porous design is intended to cushion the closing door and take some noise out of it. It is 5mm thick and sold in a 10m roll, with a strong adhesive backing that has a grid pattern.
Because the profile is 5mm thick, it suits moderately narrow gaps. Check the gap first and choose the thickness that gives a gentle squeeze when the door or window is closed. If the door or window is hard to shut after you fit it, the seal is too thick and a thinner profile will be needed.

Slide a thin piece of card into the gap with the door or window closed and note how wide the gap is. The tape should be a little thicker than that so it is gently squeezed when closed.

The complete guide
Anthracite, black and dark wood frames look best with a black seal. A white one draws the eye.
Cut ends square, avoid overlaps and keep the line straight. A neat dark line looks like part of the frame.
A black strip along the frame and a matching black door-bottom seal give a consistent look.
