Our fantastic range of UPVC door seals and gaskets have been designed to improve insulation across a variety of materials. They are all extremely durable and come with an affordable price tag. Bubble gaskets also act as a weather seal for frames when preventing draughts and protecting from exterior noise. They are often supplied in meter lengths, but their shape depends on each specific frame, meaning it’s essential to match gasket codes before replacement. As their name suggests, Wedge gaskets are wedge shaped, so they can simply push into place between frame and double-glazed unit. They feature a rib that hooks onto the frame to keep it in place. Wedge gaskets are designed for easy fitting, and also easy removal, should a unit need to be changed, or 'E' gaskets replaced on the other side. These gaskets are frequently paired, with 'E' Gaskets used on one side of the frame, and the Wedge Gasket on the reverse. They create a watertight and draught-proof seal between a window or door frame, and it's double-glazed unit or infill panel. Flipper Gaskets: These feature a unique 'flipper' or fin-like design that provides an extra barrier to air and water. They are often used in conjunction with wedge gaskets in double glazing systems for enhanced sealing.Replacing the worn and damaged gasket seal will restore the weather tightness of the bottom threshold seal and will help to prevent water and weather ingress.

E' Gaskets get their name from their profile, which can resemble the letter E, and are also referred to as Fir Tree gaskets because they resemble the downward slopping branches of a fir tree. A mushroom extrusion that runs along these gaskets is pushed tightly into a groove in the profile. Then under compression against the double-glazed unit, the branches of the fir tree create multiple seals. How to get the right gasket UPVC weather seals and gaskets are essential in combating the worst of weather conditions, enabling your door and window frames to be secure and last longer. Improving insulation must stand at the forefront of design for manufacturers, as well as the development of new initiatives to strengthen the longevity of products for businesses and homeowners. E' Gaskets are clipped into the frame or bead, which makes them the most challenging to replace. Removal of the old gasket and fitting of the new, usually requires removal of the beading and sometimes also the glazing.

They allow for smooth operation while providing a barrier to dust and drafts. uPVC window seals are robust, durable and usually long-lasting. However, they can’t last forever and factors such as improper installation, thermal expansion and physical damage may cause the gasket to deteriorate beyond repair. These causes may stretch the section causing it to split or tear. This damages the integrity of the sealing bulb or flipper, resulting in potential issues with air and water ingress.

The foam alternatives are set to provide far less air leakage over a larger temperature range than competitor products. Wedge Gaskets: Often used in double-glazed windows, wedge gaskets are designed to hold the glass in place within the frame. They have a unique shape that, when pressed into the gap between the glass and frame, exerts pressure to keep the glass firmly secured. These gaskets are sold in 6 metre quantity increments and are shipped as a single, continuous length. 6 metres will generally go around either the opening door sash or, alternatively, the outer frame of a standard size Upvc door system.
