Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I know if this R4055X profile will fit my windows?

The R4055X is the most commonly used flipper gasket profile for uPVC windows and doors. Check your existing gasket's cross-section shape - it should have a flip-over design that sits in a groove around your window or door frame. If you're unsure about compatibility, consider ordering a small test length first to verify the fit before purchasing the full quantity needed.

What makes EPDM material superior to standard rubber seals?

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) offers exceptional longevity compared to standard rubber. This premium material maintains its flexibility in extreme temperatures, resists UV degradation and ozone damage, and provides outstanding product memory - meaning it returns to its original shape after compression. These properties ensure your gasket performs consistently for years, making it the ideal choice for long-term weather sealing solutions.

Can I install this gasket myself, or do I need a professional?

The push-fit design makes this an ideal DIY project requiring no specialist tools or adhesives. Simply remove the old gasket, clean the groove thoroughly, and push the new EPDM seal firmly into place. The continuous length design eliminates complex joints, making installation straightforward even for first-time DIY enthusiasts.

Will this black gasket affect the appearance of my white uPVC frames?

Black gaskets are standard across the industry and provide the best UV resistance for long-term performance. The sleek black finish actually enhances the professional appearance of white uPVC frames and is virtually invisible when the window is closed. The superior longevity of black EPDM far outweighs any aesthetic concerns.

Is this gasket suitable for older double glazing units?

Absolutely! The R4055X profile is one of the most widely used designs and is compatible with most older double glazing systems. This makes it an excellent choice for replacement seals, particularly where the original seals have deteriorated over time. The EPDM construction ensures superior performance compared to older rubber compounds, extending the life of your double glazing investment.
