Magnetic weather stripping is a really cool invention that makes weatherizing your doors extremely easy. With as much focus as there has been on protecting the planet and saving money with home improvement, taking steps to weatherize your home or office is one of the easiest things you can do to help out. This is especially true in the workplace where there are people constantly going in and out and operating HVAC most of the day. A simple magnetic weather strip on the doors and windows can put thousands of dollars onto your bottom line each year.
The door or window has to have some sort of non-ferrous metal for the magnet to stick to for this to work, but that’s really the only requirement. When installed, the rubber will compress to fit perfectly into your door or window frame. For the first few weeks after installation it’s going to be a very tight fit, but the rubber will continue compacting and the door or window will go back to operating properly.
When cutting the magnetic weather stripping for windows leave about a half inch on each side to give the rubber room to compact. When cutting for doors measure your cut lines while the stripping is on the door, rather than using a measuring tape.
Magnetic weather stripping for metal doors and windows is one of the easiest things to install and use. It’s the perfect weatherization project for the DIY homeowner or facilities specialist.
