Door bottom sweeps are designed to seal the gap between the bottom of the door and the threshold (floor) to prevent light, sound, dust, moisture and insects from entering the room. Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy.

Colors Colours can vary depending on your computer's video card and on how your monitor's color colour is adjusted. I’ve encountered new mahogany (a very rot resistant wood) doors just a year or so old that are so swollen that they can’t open any longer with soft mushy bottoms once this door sweep is removed. At BetterDoor, it is our mission to be a trusted source that empowers DIYers and contractors by connecting them with the information, resources and quality door replacement parts they need to make their doors better and meet varying project needs. To keep your entryway tightly sealed, we recommend replacing door sweeps every ~2-5 years, depending on use and climate (replace more often for frequently used doors or doors in colder climates).A broad variety of UL-approved, fire-rated door sweeps is also available for use with fire-rated doors having improper alignment. We offer replacement (often upgrade) door sweeps for residential exterior doors including Pease, Masonite, Jeld-Wen, Stanley, Therma-Tru, Taylor, Peachtree, Scotty, and many other door brands. The advantages are that the brushes last longer than the vinyl when exposed to sun and the elements. For disabled people to have independent access through single or double swing doors, the opening force, when measured at the leading edge of the door must not exceed 30N between 0º and 30º from closed and 22.

The same setup as the aluminum/vinyl door sweep we just discussed, this one has a brush seal that can be a great option for when you want it on the outside of an out-swing or inside of an in-swing door, but you don’t want to deal with the binding of the vinyl fin. These sweeps are available in 3- / 4- / 7- / 8-foot length variants in different finishes and colours for use with metal and wooden doors, and can be mounted on the inside / outside of doors.

The big issue is that the bottom of doors are often left unpainted and sliding on this U-shaped vinyl bottom causes rain water to be trapped under the door. If you have a door on a covered porch then this may be the best option for you, but if your door is exposed to big rains then this is probably not something you want to look at. Option 2: the adhesive is so weak that the fin constantly adjusts itself over time and use to where it is out of position so much that it provides little to no protection.
