Zero International 8878A 84" Aluminum Door Gasketing with Snap-On Cover
Achieve elite architectural sealing and a flawless profile with the Zero International 8878A 84" Door Gasketing. Engineered for high-end commercial entries, hotel rooms, classrooms, and offices, this surface-mounted perimeter gasketing system provides heavy-duty weather, sound, and smoke protection without sacrificing aesthetics.
The standout feature of the 8878A is its multi-piece construction: it utilizes a high-grade aluminum housing that mounts directly to the frame, which is then capped off with a seamless snap-on aluminum cover. This completely conceals the installation screws, protecting them from tampering and ensuring a sleek, rivet-free architectural look.
Equipped with a flexible, high-recovery Silicone Ring Seal (Bulb), this perimeter gasket ensures low closing force while creating an airtight compression seal against drafts, moisture, exterior noise, and smoke. The Clear Anodized Aluminum finish (A) blends perfectly with standard silver or clear-coated aluminum storefront entries.
