Perimeter weather stripping, typically composed of polyvinyl chloride, affixes to the doorframe surrounding an overhead access point to a building’s parking or storage area. This specialized trim creates a seal against the elements, preventing infiltration by water, wind, debris, and pests. An example includes a flexible strip fastened along the top and sides of the frame, conforming to the contours of the closed door.
The implementation of this weather seal is crucial for maintaining internal environmental conditions. It offers substantial protection against weathering and degradation. Historically, various materials were used for this purpose, but vinyls durability, resistance to temperature changes, and ease of installation have made it a popular and effective option for protecting structures.
