Best Silicone Door Draft Stoppers<\/h2>\n

What Are Silicone Door Draft Stoppers<\/h3>\n

Silicone or weather stripping door draft stoppers are strips of plastic that hang down under a door from one side.<\/p>\n

They resemble the same kind of weather stripping you will find on the bottom of an outside door.<\/p>\n

They are usually secured to the door with double-sided tape or velcro. They are more permanent than cloth door draft stoppers but they are smaller and less noticeable.<\/p>\n

They are also water-resistant which makes them better for bathrooms, outside doors, patios, balconies, and garages.<\/p>\n

To install a silicone door draft stopper simply cut the door draft stopper to fit the width of the door.<\/p>\n

Clean the area of the door the tape will stick on. Starting from one end start peeling the tape and sticking the stripping to the door.<\/p>\n

Make sure the bottom is touching the floor lightly but not pressing.<\/p>\n

After installation, it’s recommended to not move the door for 24 hours to give the adhesive plenty of time to set.<\/p>\n
