ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a weatherstripping method and arrangement primarily for doors which is designed to eliminate drafts which result in heating and cooling losses. The arrangement is simple to install and relatively inexpensive. An elongated wood lattice strip is mounted to the door jamb on both sides of the door and along the top and spaced at a predetermined distance from the door when the door is in a closed position. A lubricant is applied along the exterior face and top of the door opposite the wood lattice and a paper tape is placed over the lubricated area. The door is then closed and a silicone rubber caulking compound is inserted into the space between the paper tape and the lattice strip. The door is maintained in a closed position until the silicone caulking hardens and then the door is opened and the paper tape peeled away from the lubricated surface. The silicone bead thus provides a formfitting weatherstripping door.
