Zero International 188S-17-WH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Zero 188S self-adhesive door seal used for?
The Zero 188S provides perimeter sealing for doors to block air infiltration, dust, and moisture. It adheres directly to door frames without mechanical fasteners.
2) What door types are compatible with this weatherstripping?
Compatible with most interior and exterior doors including wood, metal, and fiberglass. Suitable for both residential and commercial applications where adhesive mounting is preferred.
3) How do I determine the correct amount needed?
Measure the door frame perimeter including head and both jambs. Add 10% for overlap and trimming. Standard doors typically require 20-25 linear feet.
4) What surfaces will the adhesive bond to?
Bonds to clean, dry surfaces including painted wood, metal, vinyl, and most plastics. Surface must be free of dirt, oil, and loose paint for proper adhesion.
5) What is the compression range of this seal?
Designed to compress and seal gaps typically ranging from 1/16" to 1/4". Check manufacturer specifications for exact compression ratings and gap tolerances.
6) Does this meet building code requirements?
Verify local code requirements for air sealing and weatherstripping. Many codes specify performance standards rather than specific products. Consult AHJ for approval.
7) Are mounting hardware or tools required?
No hardware needed due to self-adhesive design. Basic tools include utility knife for cutting, measuring tape, and cleaning supplies for surface preparation.
8) How do I install the adhesive door seal?
Clean frame surface thoroughly. Remove adhesive backing and press seal firmly into position. Start at top corner and work around frame. Trim excess with sharp knife.
9) How long does the adhesive weatherstripping last?
Service life varies by exposure and door usage. Inspect annually for compression loss or adhesive failure. Replace when seal no longer maintains contact with door.
10) What other Zero weatherstripping options are available?
Zero offers various door sealing solutions including mechanical mount seals and different profiles. Browse our weatherstripping selection for alternatives.
11) Can this seal work in extreme weather conditions?
Performance depends on material composition and temperature ratings. Check manufacturer specifications for operating temperature range and UV resistance for outdoor applications.
12) How do I remove old adhesive weatherstripping?
Peel off existing seal carefully. Remove adhesive residue with appropriate solvent or scraper. Clean surface completely before installing new weatherstripping.
