What are the Benefits of Triple Fin Wool Pile as a Weather Seal?

Posted on by Admin

Choosing the most effective weather stripping products for doors is important for minimising heat loss in their buildings. An effective wool pile will tightly seal the space between the door jamb and the bottom of the door, whilst minimising air flow between the door and the flooring. This increases thermal efficiency without hindering the door’s ability to open smoothly.

Like other forms of sealing there are factors that can cause wool pile to deteriorate over time, such as extreme temperatures or weather, friction and general wear and tear. Doors in a location with high use, are especially prone to deteriorating over time. However ExtrudaSeal offers superior Triple fin wool pile weatherstrips for maximised, long-lasting sealing effects.

High Performance Wool Pile Weatherstrips

We partnered with TechSeal, a leading manufacturer of wool pile products, to supply premium and innovative weather stripping for a wide range of aluminium, timber and PVCu applications. Triple fin wool pile is a highly effective sealing agent to minimise drafts, maintain internal temperatures and help customers conserve energy. The triple fin weather strips use a centred pile for a consistently tighter seal, and bring a number of considerable benefits when compared with standard wool pile:

  • Because of the three pliable barrier fins of triple fin wool pile, the weather strips can reduce air infiltration by up to 25% in comparison to a single fin.
  • With a uniform structural integrity consistent in triple fin weather strips, they offer more effective sealing against air, moisture, light, dust and pests.
  • As well as air and moisture sealing, the triple fin wool pile features a laminated silent fin providing substantial noise insulation.
  • Triple fin wool pile weather strips also feature a solid polypropylene backing, making them easier to install into window and door frames.
  • Built in pile directors help to prevent the piles from spreading or creating a ‘blooming’ effect, common with regular wool pile.
