Weather Stripping - Frame

  1. This is the inside of the wall where the weather stripping will be mounted.

  2. The weather stripping should be mounted to the outer edge of the  sides of the wall.

  3. The weather stripping should be mounted to the outer edge of the  bottom of the wall.
  • Primary Protection Point: Outer edge of the dam prevents water intrusion.

  • Watertight Seal: Requires precise placement and secure splicing due to lack of wall support.

  • Splicing Location: Avoid corners; splice on sides or bottom to reduce vulnerability.

  • Secure Joint Method:

    • Cut the section against the dam 1 inch shorter at the splice.

    • Overlapping section should be 1 inch longer for a tight seal.

  • Enhanced Water Resistance: Apply waterproof adhesive or sealant at the splice.

  • Regular Maintenance:

    • Check for peeling, cracking, or misalignment.

    • Address issues immediately to preserve the seal.

  • Protection Against Damage: Proper installation and upkeep prevent water infiltration and structural harm.
