ABSTRACT:
A resilient deformable sealing strip for sealing a gap between a window jamb and a rough opening of a window includes a generally V-shaped body portion formed of resilient material having two wing portions having proximal and distal ends, said proximal ends meeting at a common vertex and diverging from each other at a predetermined angle. The body portion has a planar axis defined between the vertex and extending away from the vertex toward a midpoint between the distal ends of the wing portions, where the planar axis bisects the predetermined angle. The wing portions are configured to compressibly deform toward each other in a direction orthogonal to the planar axis to permit the body portion to compress and sealingly fill the gap between the window jamb and the rough opening of the window. Each wing portion has at least one of a linear channel and a linear rib disposed on an outside surface of the wing portion and extending along a length of the body portion. The at least one linear channel and linear rib are configured to deform in response to deformation of the wing portions to grippingly and sealingly engage a surface of the window jamb or a surface of the rough opening, respectively, forming a sealingly resilient barrier therebetween.
