Aluminum Window Seal Strip
Aluminum window seal strip plays an important part in window installation. It’s made of silicon gel rather than aluminum strips. As an connection between glass and frames, it can be applied to common, suspended and folding windows.

Not a few manufacturers supply aluminum window seal strips made of low quality materials. The most representative method is to replace top quality plasticizer with waste engine oil. Excellent aluminum window seal strips demonstrate smooth and flat surface, high elongation, good flexibility, satisfying temperature resistance and perfect ageing stability. To guarantee excellent installation effect, clients are advised to take the follow steps before making a purchasing decision. First, check whether the seal strip smells unpleasant or not. Top quality strips have slight rather than strong strange smell. Second, entwine a strip around a solid profile, leave it in environment of high temperature (under the sunshine, for instance) and examine whether the contacting surface with the profile becomes stained or changes color, and whether dust on the strip surface turns yellower (the color of cheap engine oil). Third, skip cheap seal strips with dull surface, which proves to be of low quality. Fourth, check whether the weight of a pack of aluminum window seal strips are reasonable. Some strips have been mixed with coarse whiting by manufacturers who wish to increase profit by heavier weight. This kind of strips will produce a kind of white powder on surface after being stretched several times by your hands.
