weatherstripped
Made airtight around
Weatherstripped describes something fitted with weatherstripping—narrow strips of material installed around doors and windows to seal gaps against drafts, moisture, and outside air.
A properly weatherstripped door keeps cold air from leaking in: Make sure the windows are weatherstripped before winter.
