Frequently Asked Questions

1. What can I use for seals for irregularly shaped air gaps and spaces?

You can use more than one type of weatherstripping or seals for irregularly shaped air-gaps, spaces etc. Some common types of weatherstripping: tension seal, Self-stick plastic (vinyl) folded along length in a V-shape or a springy bronze strip (also copper, aluminum, and stainless steel) shaped to bridge gaps in windows and door rails, stiles and sills; The shape of the material creates a seal by pressing against the sides of a crack to block air gaps, and drafts.

Inside the track of a double-hung or sliding window, top and sides of door. Surfaces must be flat and smooth for vinyl. Can be difficult to install, as corners must be snug. Bronze must be nailed in place (every three inches or so) – Do Not Bend or Wrinkle. Can increase resistance in opening and closing doors and windows which may not be a good thing if you have back problems. Self-adhesive vinyl is also available.

4. Are there any assistance prgrams for the needy, elderly, wounded warriors, or unemployed veterans?

Weatherization and Free Assistance with Parts, ID Help and Local Assistance Programs to assist the needy, the elderly, wounded warriors, or the unemployed.

The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) enables low-income, needy, unemployed veterans,  families to permanently reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient. Funds are used to improve the energy performance of dwellings of needy families using the most advanced technologies and testing protocols available in the housing industry. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) provides funding to states, U.S. overseas territories, and Indian tribal governments, which manage the day-to-day details of the program. These governments, in turn, fund a network of local community action agencies, nonprofit organizations, and local governments that provide these weatherization services in every state, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and among Native American tribes.
The energy conservation resulting from these efforts of state and local agencies helps our country reduce its dependence on foreign oil and decrease the cost of energy for families in need while improving the health and safety of their homes. During the past 33 years, WAP has provided weatherization services to more than 6.4 million low-income households. Families receiving weatherization services for free will see their annual energy bills reduced by an average of about $425.00 – please contact you local electri and gas company or welfare assistance office. \

5. Are there any free video tutorials showing how to install window and door parts?

Applying Window Weatherstripping and Seals ( Video Tutorials )

To determine how much weatherstripping you will need, add the perimeters of all windows and/or doors to be weather-stripped. We suggest you add 5% – 10% for miscuts and waste. Also consider that weatherstripping comes in varying depths, widths and lengths. Weather-stripping supplies and techniques range from simple to the very technical, so you might consider calling someone who does local window and door inspections and surveys, or do your homework and read the instructions and project outlines on the weather stripping package.

One of the best online window and door sources is to visit the YouTube Channel Link: http://tinyurl.com/mo2fbjf

6. Where do I begin if I want to do it myself and save money?

First you might want to review some YouTube Video DIY Tutorials for the various aspects of working with older windows and doors and saving money – One of the best online window and door sources to visit on YouTube is: http://tinyurl.com/mo2fbjf

Begin by determining how many window and doors you will be working on and how much weatherstripping you will need – add up all the perimeter dimensions of all windows and doors to be weatherstripped. Secondly, add 5% – 10% for miscuts and waste.

Also consider that weatherstripping comes in varying depths, widths and lengths. Weather-stripping supplies and techniques range from simple to the very technical, so you might consider calling someone who does local window and door inspections and surveys, or do your homework and read the instructions and project outlines on the weatherstripping package.

Here are some basic guidelines:

  • Weatherstripping should be applied to clean, dry surfaces in temperatures above 32°F
  • Measure the area to be weather-stripped twice before making your cuts.
  • Apply weatherstripping snugly against both adjacent or adjoining surfaces. Be sure to inspect the material – it should compress when the window or door is shut, making a good air tight seal..
  • When weatherstripping doors, be sure to choose the appropriate door sweeps and thresholds for the bottom of the doors.
  • Weatherstrip the entire door jamb – not just the part that might look “worn” or in need.
  • Apply one continuous strip along each side – no “piecing together” of smaller cuts.
  • Make sure the weatherstripping meets tightly at the corners to prevent air or misture flow.
  • Use a thickness that causes the weatherstripping to press tightly between the door and the door jamb when the door closes without making it difficult to shut.
  • Use the proper weather strip – for instance if you have a metal entry door usually the seal gasket set is magnetic.
  • For air sealing windows, apply weather stripping between the sash and the frame. The weather seals / stripping should not interfere with the operation of the window.

38. As a homeowner can I install weather stripping seals on my windows and doors?

Definitely YES – if you choose to – you can install weather stripping seals on your doors and windows. First you will want to choose the correct OEM type of weatherstripping that will properly fit the windows and doors, the specific type of kerf track etc. Secondly to make sure the selected weather strip and seals will withstand any friction, your weather and temperature conditions and changes, and the wear and tear associated with its use.

39. Does it matter if I use OEM weather strip parts seals?

OEM / OEM Replacement Upgrade Parts, OEM Equivalants all designate a replacement part made to all the exacting original specifications that were used by the original parts manufacturer. This original equipment part – OEM ( Original Equipment Manufacturer ) will most always be made to Original Specifications

40. Can I use OEM Replacement or Upgrade Parts and Equivalants?

YES YOU CAN – most original OEM parts, weatherstrips, kerf seals, locks, latches, tilt latches, hinges, slide tracks and crank operators are normally produced to original OEM manufacturer specs or supplied by another source to the original assmebler or manufacturer. Door and Window weatherstripping parts from a trusted supplier is most likely to meet all “original” specs and will align properly to your windows and doors.

41. Does it matter if I use OEM Parts, Hardware, or Replacement Wood Components?

It most definitely matters – using original OEM parts, weatherstrips, kerf seals, hardware parts such as locks, latches, tilt latches, hinges, slide tracks and crank operators or wood replacement parts and components can make the difference between an almost 100% restoration and an early system failure at best. You see, choosing the right weather strip products for your specific windows and doors to original OEM manufacturer specs will provide weather seals and weatherstripping for your windows and doors made from the proper materials and a unified assembly. These will not break down or apart during installation or while in service over the years. The correct attention to detail will prevent such issues as out of tolerance parts, T-slots cut incorrectly, kerf-barbs of improper length or width, and many other issues with other improperly fitting specialty brush seals, plastic or poly bead component parts etc. Door and Window weatherstripping parts from a trusted OEM supplier is most likely crafted from top grade components to meet all “original” specs and will align properly to your windows and doors and do a much better job for years to come

42. Does it really matter if I use the same old type of weather strip?

It most definitely matters – using original style parts, properly designed weatherstrips, correct kerf type seals, bulb seals, foam seals, pile seals can make all the difference in the world when it comes to restoration projects and eliminates the chance of early seal failures. Choosing the right weatherstripping products for your specific brand and type of windows and doors will provide weather seals and weather strips for proper installations, air-tight sealing, prevent issues such as as out of tolerance and gaps, and many other issues.

43. Are there different weather strips and seals that do the same job?

Yes there are for some different brands and types of windows and doors. This may be one of those areas where getting some professional advice will be worth it’s weight in gold. Once installed or used, you can’t return any product. If it doesn’t work as originally intended this can cause very pre-mature loss and damage to a window or door system. So you definitely want good information on using common types of weatherstripping and seals.

Sometimes you can use more than one type of weatherstripping to seal an irregularly shaped space, or on a certain style of window such as a casement or awning style made of wood. You would also want to take durability into account when comparing different weather strips and seals. Also cost may become a factor. Please refer to our site “tables” for information about the common types of weatherstripping.

44. What should I consider when selecting or shopping for weather strip?

Choose a product for each specific location. Felt and open-cell foams tend to be inexpensive, susceptible to weather, visible, and very inefficient at blocking hot or cold airflow. However, the ease of applying these materials may make them valuable in low-traffic areas, provide overall “look and function” are not major issues. Vinyl, which is slightly more expensive, holds up well and resists moisture. Metals (bronze, copper, stainless steel, and aluminum) Weatherstripping Products last for years and are affordable – but not so much as they used to be. Metal weatherstripping can also provide a nice touch to older homes where vinyl might seem aesthetically unappealing or out of place – just a few issues to consider when selecting or shopping for weather strip.

45. Which window channel balance do I need to choose?

Most homes have several sizes of windows. You need to choose the correct size, color coding, design of the balance and more. Window balances such as Channel Balances, Spiral Balances, Spring Balances, Tape Balances, Tube Balances should all be correctly ordered as to the size and weight of the window sash. Most are custom made and non-returnable – so we definitely suggest you work with an online pro and don’t hesitate to spend the time necessary for proper ID / Identification and product selections. Few homeowners will know the sash weights. The existing balance size, width, depth, diameter, product markings, BSI markings will all help in proper ordering. Using OEM original builder parts will produce best results. Always replace in sets or pairs.

46. How do I determine the weight of my window sash parts?

Determining the weight of a window sash parts is best left to the window pros and experts. However, what you do need is the type of sash, wood or aluminum etc. and the size – we can go from there. Most homes have several sizes of windows and the size, color coding, design of the balance and more. Window balances such as Channel Balances, Spiral Balances, Spring Balances, Tape Balances, Tube Balances should all be correctly ordered as to the size and weight of the window sash. Most are custom made and non-returnable – so we definitely suggest you work with an online pro and don’t hesitate to spend the time necessary for proper ID / Identification and product selections. Few homeowners will know the sash weights. The existing balance size, width, depth, diameter, product markings, BSI markings will all help in proper ordering. Using OEM original builder parts will produce best results. Always replace in sets or pairs.

47. The service tech said I should replace replace in sets or pairs, is this true?

Always replace in sets or pairs. Most homes have several sizes of windows and therefore – Window Balances of different sizes and sometimes types. Channel, Spring, Tube, Spiral, Spring, and Tape are most common, and the size, color coding, design of the balance and more will determine you window balance needs.

48. What do I need to do to stop the air leaks?

For a thorough and accurate measurement of air leakage in your home, you might want to hire a qualified service technician to conduct an energy assessment. You may already know where some air leakage occurs in your home, such as an under-the-door drafts, around your old windows, on certain walls and ceilings – but you’ll need to find the less obvious leaks and gaps to properly air seal your old house.

You might also want to do a blower door test which depressurizes your home and can reveal the location of many air leaks. A complete energy assessment will also help determine areas in your home that need more insulation. Without a blower door test, there are ways to find some air leaks yourself.
Visual Inspections with a thread and a small light feather, on the outside of your house, inspect all areas where two different building materials meet – exterior corners, outdoor water faucets, siding and chimney areas, areas where the foundation and the bottom of exterior brick or siding meet.

Inside your home, inspect around the following areas for any cracks, gaps, cracks in drywall, around electrical outlets, switch plates, door and window frames, trim, electrical and gas service entrances, crawl spaces doors, baseboards, weather stripping around doors, fireplace dampers and chimney caps, attic hatches, wall or window mounted air conditioners, cable TV and phone lines, dryer vents, other venting and fans – all will help to stop the air leaks.

49. Is there any E-Gard or E-Gard Plus used on EntryGard Parts?
  1. What is the difference between E-Gard and E-Gard Plus?
    1. The current E-Gard is a U.V. stable liquid Acrylic based coating that is electrostatically applied to the parts with E-Gard coated rivets and studs.
    2. E-Gard Plus is a liquid black Epoxy high edge build coating that is electrostatically applied to the parts with a powder top coat to match the current color and to provide U.V. protection. The rivets and studs have already been changed to Stainless Steel (SST) or Service Class 3 (SC3) coating.
    3. The benefits over the current E-Gard is improved corrosion resistance and a more reliable and environmentally friendly process.
  2. Is there any E-Gard or E-Gard Plus used on EntryGard Parts?
    1. All parts currently being E-coated today will receive the E-Gard Plus coating in the future – Operator Arms, Hinge Arms, Brackets, etc.
  3. Do you have to change any of the part numbers?

55. We have a multiple point locking mechanism on our doors - Can You Help With The Replacements?

WHAT IS MULTI-POINT DOOR AND WINDOW LOCKING HARDWARE?

WHAT IS MULTIPOINT DOOR LOCKING HARDWARE? How Many Different Styles and Brands Are there?

The best way to describe multipoint door locking hardware is to contrast it with the more common single point hardware found on most doors.

  • A single point mortise lock consists of a latch and deadbolt only. The deadbolt provides the single locking point between the door and jamb.
  • A multipoint mortise lock has multiple locking points which simultaneously lock into place through the action of a continuous travel drive rail or rod system usually activated by lifting the door handle.
  • Some shootbolt systems provide three locking points – at the deadbolt, at the top shootbolt (where it enters the top jamb), and at the bottom shootbolt (where it enters the sill).

ACTIVE DOOR VS. INACTIVE DOOR – What’s the Difference?

  • Active doors use different hardware than inactive doors.
  • An active door is either a single door, or the primary functioning door in a pair of French doors (the door that opens first). The latch and deadbolt will always be part of the active door hardware.
  • An inactive door is the secondary functioning door in a pair of French doors. This door can only be opened after the active door has been opened.

90. Insulating Glass Dew Point Testing - IS IT NECESSARY?

Insulating Glass Dewpoint Testing and Dewpoint “glass testing” helps to determine if insulated glass seals are performing well or if they are near a point on a “failure curve”. Test equipment is broght in to test the dewpoint which occurs inside your insulated glass units using an ASTM E546 methodolgy. Insulated Glass Frost/Dewpoint test equipment. The dewpoint inside the insulating glass is a good indicator of the unit’s quality and longevity.

91. How can I increase the thermal properties of my window glass?

In its simplest formula – a single pane of glass 1/8″ reduces heat loss by about 90% vs,.. and open hole or window. For you R-value fanatics, by insulating the glass, we improve the R1 of single glass to a whopping R2 for insulated glass. When we add Low-E coatings, we can get about R3, and when we then add argon gas into the airspace between panes, about R4 is possible.

92. How long have windows been using IG / Insulated Glass / Annealed Insulated Glass?

Insulated glass, sometimes called IG, Anealed Insulated or by old LOF ( Libby Owens Ford ) trade name – Originally called “Thermopane” or Thermo Pane” glass; This glass has been commercially available since the 1950’s. For fundamental concept hasn’t really changed much. Insulated glass consists of two or more pieces of glass which are bonded to, yet separated from, one another by a spacer bar. The space between the glass panes is an insulator by virtue of “dead air space”. This fabricated glass sandwich is glued together with sealants designed to keep the glass together and moisture out. The spacer contains a dessicant that removes moisture which might be residual from actual manufacture. Insulated glass seal failure occurs when moisture penetrates the edge seals and wets, or condensates within the air space.

93. How do I test my Insulated BiltBest windows for fogging to see if they have seal failure?

Insulated glass consists of two or more pieces of glass that are bonded to, yet separated from, one another by a spacer bar. The space between the glass panes is an insulator by virtue of “dead air space”. This fabricated glass sandwich is glued together with sealants designed to keep the glass together and moisture out. The spacer contains a desiccant that removes moisture that might be residual from actual manufacture. Insulated glass seal failure occurs when moisture penetrates the edge seals and wets, or condensates within the air space.

Despite a respectable track record for insulated glass naturally, there are failures. A moderate insulated glass seal failure will look like a cloud of moisture that has condensed on one of the inner surfaces of the glass in the airspace. It might come and go depending on the outside temperature, actual humidity, and even barometric pressure when added to the mix. This failure is also called “fogging glass”, “foggy window” or “window condensation between panes.”

A serious seal/glass failure will involve the permanent presence of moisture in the airspace. The worst IG seal failures usually involve the degradation of the spacer. Sometimes the spacer corrodes or even rusts. Sometimes the desiccant becomes so saturated that it turns to mush and becomes visible on the spacer. We often see failures in which, upon deglazing, one lite of glass completely separates from the spacer bar.
