Rubber Window Seals
What Do Window Seals Do?
Windows are a key feature of many buildings and vehicles. They enable light to come in while also allowing us to see the world outside. However, windows are often a weak point in terms of insulating and as a result a lot of heat is lost through windows. Almost all windows feature rubber seals which serve a very specific purpose. Window seals provide an airtight seal which prevents cold air from entering and warm air from leaving. They are typically relatively soft in construction which enable the seal to compress when under pressure. This ensures that when the window is closed the seals provide the maximum surface area possible which leads to superior insulation.
The Different Types Of Window Seals
Claytonrite:
Claytonrite window seals are the most common type of window seals you would come across. Our customers often use these seals on the windows in their house, however these seals are perfect for use with many different glass & panel combinations for glass, acrylic and Perspex. Once the claytonrite seal is in place a filler strip is placed through the middle channel on the seal which clamps the seal in place to ensure a secure fit.
Rubber U Channels:
Our customers tend to use rubber U channels as window seals in custom or larger scale projects. These seals provide less functionality compared to the claytonrite seals, they make up for this however by providing superior protection and durability. We design many of our U channels to be pressed over the edge of the glass. The tapered design on the inner channel ensures a tight fit which provides a secure connection but it also enables you to install and remove the U channel as you need.
