Fitting EPDM rubber sealing strips to your windows and doors to close any gaps will help better insulate your building. And a well-insulated building is crucial. From improving energy efficiency and comfort to condensation control and noise reduction, a draught-free building also helps to conserve energy resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
KISO EPDM rubber sealing strips offer a cost-effective and efficient way to seal any gaps around your windows and doors, reduce draughts and improve energy efficiency. But what is EPDM rubber? And how does it work?
EPDM Rubber
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber that's highly resistant to heat, steam, UV, chemicals and solvents. It can withstand very high and very low temperatures while maintaining its strength and flexibility, making it an excellent material to use to close gaps and prevent air leakage around any external openings.
Along with its excellent thermal insulation properties, EPDM rubber is extremely durable and has a long lifespan, which is why it's used in various applications from roofing and sealing to tubing and gasketing. This type of rubber is typically used externally due to its impressive durability.
How do EPDM Rubber Sealing Strips Work?
As they have a compressible profile, EDPM seals create an effective gap-filling seal when compressed between a window or door and a frame. And thanks to the rubber's elastic properties, EPDM rubber sealing strips can stretch and return to their original shape, making them ideal for the repeated opening and closing of windows and doors.
