挡风雨条

Before applying weatherstripping in an existing home, you need to do the following (if you haven't already):

• Detect air leaks
• 一个ssess your ventilation needs for indoor air quality

Selection

选择一种挡风雨条，可以承受摩擦，天气，温度变化，以及与其位置相关的磨损和撕裂。例如，当施加到门底部或阈值时，由于脚踏流量，挡风雨条在地毯上拖动或侵蚀。在窗扇中的挡风雨条件必须容纳窗格上下，侧向或出去的滑动。当门或窗户关闭时，您选择的挡风机应该很好地密封很好，同时允许它自由打开。

为每个特定位置选择产品。毛毡和开放式电池泡沫往往是便宜的，易受天气，可见的气体，并且在阻挡气流时效率低。然而，施加这些材料的易于应用可能使它们在低交通领域有价值。乙烯基稍微昂贵，保持良好并抵抗水分。金属（青铜，铜，不锈钢和铝）持续多年，价格实惠。金属挡风雨丝绸也可以为较大的房屋提供良好的触感，其中乙烯基可能似乎不合适。

You can use more than one type of weatherstripping to seal an irregularly shaped space. Also take durability into account when comparing costs. See Table 1 below for information about the common types of weatherstripping.

Table 1: Common Weatherstripping
挡风雨条	Best Uses	成本	优点	缺点
Tension seal: Self-stick plastic (vinyl) folded along length in a V-shape or a springy bronze strip (also copper, aluminum, and stainless steel) shaped to bridge a gap. The shape of the material creates a seal by pressing against the sides of a crack to block drafts.	在双挂或滑动窗口的轨道内，顶部和门的顶部和侧面。	Moderate; varies with material used.	耐用。到位时看不见。非常有效。乙烯基相当易于安装。看起来古铜色适合旧家园。	Surfaces must be flat and smooth for vinyl. Can be difficult to install, as corners must be snug. Bronze must be nailed in place (every three inches or so) so as not to bend or wrinkle. Can increase resistance in opening/closing doors or windows. Self-adhesive vinyl available. Some manufacturers include extra strip for door striker plate.
Felt: 用柔性金属条韧性或加强;卖掉卷。必须装订，胶合或粘在地上。如果订书钉平行于条带的长度，请最佳密封。	一个round a door or window (reinforced felt); fitted into a door jamb so the door presses against it.	低	易于安装，廉价。	耐久性低;至少有效防止气流。不要在暴露于水分或摩擦或磨损的地方使用。全羊毛毛毡更耐用，更昂贵。非常可见。
加强泡沫： Closed-cell foam attached to wood or metal strips.	门或窗户停止;窗扇底部或顶部;门的底部。	适度低	Closed-cell foam an effective sealer; scored well in wind tests. Rigid.	可能难以安装;必须被锯，钉子和涂漆。非常可见。制造工艺生产温室气体排放。
胶带： Nonporous, closed-cell foam, open-cell foam, or EDPM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber.	窗扇顶部和底部;门框;阁楼舱口和无法操作的窗户。适合阻挡角落和不规则的裂缝。	低。	Extremely easy to install. Works well when compressed. Inexpensive. Can be reinforced with staples.	Durability varies with material used, but not especially high for all; use where little wear is expected; visible.
滚动或加强乙烯基： 柔韧或刚性条带垫片（附接到木材或金属条。）	门或窗户停止;窗框顶部或底部;门的底部（仅限刚性带）。	低至中度。	简易安装。低至中等成本。在柔韧乙烯基上的自粘性可能不粘附到金属上;某些类型的刚性条垫圈提供槽孔以调节高度，提高耐用性。有不同的颜色来帮助可见性。	Visible.
门扫： 铝或不锈钢用塑料，乙烯基，海绵或毛毡刷。	内侧的内侧的底部;外部摆动门的外侧底部。	Moderate to high.	Relatively easy to install; many types are adjustable for uneven threshold. Automatically retracting seeps also available, which reduce drag on carpet and increase durability.	Visible. Can drag on carpet. Automatic sweeps are more expensive and can require a small pause once door is unlatched before retracting.
磁性： 与冰箱垫圈类似。	Top and sides of doors, double-hung and sliding window channels.	高	Very effective air sealer.
管状橡胶和乙烯基： Vinyl or sponge rubber tubes with a flange along length to staple or tack into place. Door or window presses against them to form a seal.	一个round a door.	Moderate to high.	有效的空气障碍。	自我粘性版本挑战安装。
增强硅胶： Tubular gasket attached to a metal strip that resembles reinforced tubular vinyl	On a doorjamb or a window stop.	Moderate to high.	Seals well.	安装可能很棘手。钢锯需要削减金属;但是角落构成挑战。
Door shoe: 铝合金面向乙烯基C形插入件以保护在门下方。	在门下面密封空间。	Moderate to high.	在外观，产品脱落。耐用。可以与不均匀的开口一起使用。有些门鞋有可更换的乙烯基插入物。	Fairly expensive; installation moderately difficult. Door bottom planning possibly required.
灯泡阈值： Vinyl and aluminum	Door thresholds	Moderate to high.	组合阈值和挡风玻璃;有不同的高度。	穿着脚交通;相对昂贵。
“霜制动”阈值： 一个luminum or other metal on exterior, wood on interior, with door-bottom seam and vinyl threshold replacement.	To seal beneath a door.	Moderate to high.	The use of different materials means less cold transfer. Effective.	适度难以安装，涉及阈值替代。
鳍密封： 与塑料薄衬裤的堆挡风雨条以在堆为中心。	For aluminum sliding windows and sliding glass doors.	Moderate to high.	非常耐用。	可能难以安装。
互锁金属通道： 使窗扇关闭时彼此互动	门边界周围。	高.	卓越的天气印章。	很难安装为对齐至关重要。仅由专业安装。

应用

挡风雨条supplies and techniques range from simple to the technical. Consult the instructions on the weatherstripping package.以下是一些基本指南：

• 挡风雨仪应在高于20°F（-7°C）的温度下清洁干燥的表面。
• 在切割任何东西之前，测量两次挡风雨的区域。
• 一个pply weatherstripping snugly against both surfaces. The material should compress when the window or door is shut.

当挡风雨条门户：

• 选择适当的门扫描和门底部的阈值。
• 挡风雨丝绸整个门jamb。
• 一个pply one continuous strip along each side.
• 确保挡风雨条紧紧地遇到了角落。
• 使用厚度使挡风雨条带在门关闭时紧紧按下门和门夹纸之间，而不难以关闭。

For air sealing windows, apply weatherstripping between the sash and the frame. The weatherstripping shouldn't interfere with the operation of the window.
