What is the strip-like thing you can put around door frames to keep bugs and dirt out?
Question:From inside our apartment we can see light coming through the door frame and we believe bugs are getting in through there too. Just wondering what that item was called so I can get the product. Also any other solutions for this are welcome. TIA.
Answers:
You are looking for a weatherstrip. If you rent, your landlord should take care of this.
There are several different types of weather strip. Most exterior doors use a weatherstrip that locks into a groove on the door frame. Take a close look. If you don't have the groove, a strip with a metal bar to fasten to the door and a rubber fin to contact against the door will last much longer than the peel and stick kind.
Its called weather stripping.
I like to spray a little raid around the out side of doors and windows to keep the bugs out.
weather stipping is to seal out wind / dirt. comes in long rolls and is usually sticky backed.
goes around the door.
a DOOR-Sweep ... goes only at the bottom of a door, to keep dirt out ..mounts to the back -side of a door with a few screws..and is height adjustable. enjoy your day ... :)
weatherstripping around the case and along the bottom is called a doorsweep
