MTS Weather Strip (Black) is a general-purpose, self-adhesive foam sealing strip used for draft-proofing, insulation, and sound dampening. It is a popular choice for sealing gaps around doors and windows in both residential and automotive applications (such as car boots and bonnets).
Key Performance Features
- Dense EPDM/EVA Foam: Provides excellent compression “memory,” allowing it to spring back to its original shape after being compressed, ensuring a long-lasting, airtight seal.
- Self-Adhesive Backing: Features a strong, double-sided adhesive strip with a peel-off backing for quick and easy installation without the need for additional glues.
- Versatile Resistance: Specifically designed to be resistant to water, UV rays, and common chemicals (including oil and petrol), making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Energy Efficient: Helps reduce energy costs by preventing air leakage and heat loss through gaps in door and window frames.
Installation Tips
- Surface Prep: For the best bond, clean the application surface with methylated spirits or a degreaser. The adhesive needs 24 hours to set firmly for a permanent hold.
- Measure Twice: Cut the strip using sharp scissors or an MTS Utility Knife for a clean edge that fits snugly into the corner of the frame.
- Compression: When choosing a size, select a thickness that is slightly larger than the gap you are sealing. The foam must be compressed by at least 25–50% to provide an effective seal.
