How to choose the right rubber seals
2025-06-20
When choosing a sealing strip (weatherstripping), consider the following factors for optimal performance:
1. Material Type
Silicone: Best for high-temperature resistance, waterproofing, and flexibility.
EPDM Rubber: Durable, UV-resistant, and great for outdoor/door/window seals.
Foam (PE/PVC): Affordable and good for soundproofing but less durable.
Vinyl: Stiff and long-lasting, often used for door bottoms.
Rubber with Adhesive: Easy to install (self-adhesive backing).
2. Application
Doors/Windows: EPDM or silicone for weather resistance.
Refrigerators/Freezers: Food-grade silicone.
Cars: Automotive-grade EPDM or rubber.
3. Key Features
Weather Resistance (UV/waterproof) for outdoor use.
Temperature Tolerance (silicone handles extreme heat/cold best).
Durability (EPDM lasts longer than foam).
Adhesive Quality (strong self-stick vs. glue-on).
Example when you need to buy the rubber seal:
"I need a self-adhesive EPDM sealing strip for my front door to block drafts."
"Looking for high-temperature silicone seals for an oven/fridge."
"Which weatherproof rubber strip works best for car doors?"
