 |
|
Not exactly related to WW, but I have exterior doors with a flat copper
weatherstripping band that is about 1/25" wide. It is tacked into the
jamb about every inch or so.
It is cracked so I'd like to replace it, since it seems pretty
effective. However, I can't seem to locate a source for it. Anyone
know of any supplier that carries it? |

Funnily enough, I asked a similar question a week or two ago. Attached is
my question and Mel's reply.

I've just got quite a large commission to refurbish/replace a number of
12-pane vertically sliding sash windows in a 300-year old farmhouse. I
don't have any problems with that, but these things were fitted with
Hermeseal draught excluders nearly 40 years ago. These are like a very
fine
leaf spring (looks like a copper alloy), with a Vee cross-section. Each
leaf of the Vee is about 1" wide, and the top of the Vee is open by around
1/4" when not under compression. One leaf of the Vee is punched for
nailing, so the whole spring looks a little like a slightly-open piano
hinge. Obviously these were obtainable in considerable lengths, since
the
same system was fitted around the lady's doors.

A quick google for bronze weatherstrip found this supplier.
(USA I'm afraid)

This is a flat strip you nail on and run a tool down to make
it bow outwards although I notice they also list some V-strip too.

Great. The former is what I need. I was googling on copper, not
bronze. I may be in Philly next month...
Thanks. |

FYI, I ordered 2 rolls from this company on Monday. I received them today
(Wednesday) after charging me only $5 shipping. I highly recommend them.
Thanks. |
