Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I know which size gasket to order?
Measure the gap between your window/door and frame. Choose 6mm gasket for gaps between 2-5mm or 8mm gasket for gaps between 3-7mm. Also ensure your frame has a groove between 2.5-3mm wide and at least 6mm deep.

How difficult is installation?
Installation is straightforward - simply press the gasket into the groove in your timber frame. The seal is a simple push fit into the groove and fits alongside the bead or overlap of the window. A roller can be used to roll the seal into the groove to aid insertion. Please make sure not to damage the seal while doing this. No adhesives or special tools are required, making it an ideal DIY project.

How do I measure accurately for installation?
Measure around the entire unit where the gasket will be installed, then add approximately 6cm extra before cutting. This prevents the common mistake of cutting the gasket too short.

Will this gasket help reduce my heating bills?
Yes. By creating an effective seal against draughts, this gasket helps prevent heat loss through windows and doors, potentially improving your home's energy efficiency and reducing heating costs.

How long does the gasket typically last?
Thanks to its UV and ozone stable "Silplex" material, the gasket maintains its performance for many years. Its high tear strength and excellent deflection recovery ensure long-lasting effectiveness even with regular window/door operation.
