Q-Lon Gasket

Q-Lon Gasket & Foam Weather Seals

Foam seal round the window or door squashed flat or torn? Q-Lon seals have a soft foam core inside a tough outer skin. They are used on many uPVC, composite and timber windows and doors.

We stock Q-Lon 4465 and 6571 weather seals for uPVC windows and doors, sold per metre. For timber windows and doors, including Aquamac 63 (QL3005) packs, see our Aquamac seals.

How to Match Your Q-Lon Seal

Cut a short piece

Pull out a short length of the old gasket and look at the end. The shape of the cross-section is what you need to match.

Measure it

Measure the overall height and width, and the leg or foot that pushes into the groove.

Compare the diagrams

Compare your piece with the product diagrams, and look for a profile number such as 4465 or 6571.

How much you need

Measure round each window or door and add a little for the corners and trimming. Most gaskets are sold per metre.

Q-Lon Seal Guide

Q-Lon or Rubber?

Q-Lon is foam with an outer skin, so it feels soft and spongy. Rubber bubble and flipper gaskets feel solid. Check which you have before you order.

Timber Windows and Doors

On timber frames, Q-Lon seals usually push into a groove cut in the wood. Aquamac is a Schlegel Q-Lon range made for timber.
