DIY Weatherstripping

Weatherstripping is an important element to getting the most of your air conditioning. With cracks and leaks in the doors, windows, and other areas, the air that you are paying for is essentially seeping right back outside. So how to solve this problem inexpensively and easily? The Miami air conditioner professionals have you covered!

Weatherstripping materials can range from self stick foam to sheets of rubber screwed into frames. Before you apply either, you want to measure the space around which you need to weatherstrip, and then clean the area before applying anything.

Using scissors, cut the weatherstripping to the exact length that you will need. You can use the adhesive the product comes with or nail it down if you feel it isn't secure enough.

Close the door/window that you have applied the insulation to. It should close properly, but if it doesn't--check the weatherstripping and make sure it is aligned properly.
