TPE Slot Type Wooden Door Seal Strip

We offer a range of acoustic seals that are ideal for new build or retrofit applications. Taking advantage of the properties of our Silplex material, the Acoustic Bubble demonstrates excellent deflection recovery, high performance, high tear strength and good acoustic properties. Fitted directly onto the timber frame beading it provides excellent draft and weatherproofing, eliminating the need for routing. Ideal for timber casement windows, it can be used on the top or bottom of sashes if required and in timber doorsets. It is UV and Ozone stable and easy to clean and maintain. This product is supplied in 50m coils. It is available in white or brown.

• The bubble has a greater contact area with the window, than a flipper seal.
• Reduced opening and closing forces on the window.
• UV and Ozone stable.
• Acoustic tested in accordance with BS EN ISO 10140-2:2010. In a 54mm deep timber door set with a specialist acoustic core, the bubble seal achieved an acoustic rating of 42db.
• In a standard door set, the seal will achieve an acoustic rating of RW30db.
• Complies with the requirements of Approved document E, guidelines on acoustic resistance to the passage of sound in timber door sets.
 • 100,000 cycle tested with no loss in air leakage performance.




Installation Instructions: 1. Measure the inside of the timber beading for the siize of the seal. Cut the seal to the required length using Reddiseals cutters. 2. Make sure the surface is clean and dry and free from any surface oils, dirt or sawdust etc. Failure to do so may result in delamination or poor adhesion of the seal to the substrate. 3. Remove the release liner from the seal and press firmly onto the timber, making sure there is a continuous seal all around. 4. To achieve excellent adhesion, seals must be applied to clean, dry surfaces at temperatures between - -5°C and +40°C.
