Location, location, location: Before purchasing weather stripping think about the needs of the location where you&#;re installing it. Is it a window in a high-traffic area? Is there a risk of the weather stripping getting wet? Different materials will perform better than others. Felt and foams are typically cheaper but they don&#;t hold up well to weather, plus they tend to be noticeable and may not mesh well with the décor of your room. Metals and vinyl are more expensive but are durable and weather resistant.

Sized, Sealed, Delivered: Weather stripping comes in a variety of depths and sizes. When choosing a product for your home, make sure it will seal well when the window or door is closed and that it won&#;t prevent it from easily opening.

Make sure it lasts: Choose weather stripping that can stand the test of time. Whether it&#;s temperature changes, weather or general wear and tear, look for durability especially when you&#;re comparing costs. A more expensive material may be worth it in the long run, as it may mean less wear and tear and a longer period before it needs replacing.

Tip: Looking to replace weather stripping around a window or door? Bring a piece of your weather stripping material with you to the store so you can be sure to purchase the correct type.

You can find weather stripping materials at most building supply stores. If you&#;re looking for high-quality weather stripping, reach out to window or door manufacturers or installers. They will be able to provide recommendations based on your specific needs.
