Best Time to Change Weatherstripping?


Recently we have had some calls regarding the weatherstripping, and when is the best time to change weatherstripping? It is actually best to change the weatherstripping when temperatures are at 50 degrees or above. The reason for this is the bottom weatherstripping is not as flexible at colder temperatures, could be frozen to the door, and breaks apart easily making it harder to get out of the track. The outside weatherstripping should also be changed when the temperatures are above 50 degrees. The outer weatherstripping becomes stiff and hard to work with, it can also crack due to the cold temperatures. So we recommend waiting until spring time to get your weatherstripping replaced.
