weather stripping

Gap-sealing door strips

Weather stripping is material used to seal gaps around doors and windows, preventing drafts, moisture, and heat loss.

It comes in various forms—foam tape, rubber gaskets, felt strips, door sweeps—all serving the same purpose of creating a tight seal between moving parts and their frames.

The old weather stripping around the back door needs replacing.
