Weather Seal at a Glance

Weather seals are the cheapest part of a door and the biggest energy leak: bottom astragal (T-bar) seals close the floor gap, side and top seals close the frame gaps. Industry materials are EPDM or TPE rubber chosen for long-term flexibility; cold-climate seals must stay supple well below freezing — low-temperature flexibility around -30 °C is the benchmark requirement [ESTIMATE]. Where a seal doubles as a safety edge on powered doors, the sensing function falls under EN 12978 protective-device design [SOURCED https://antpedia.com/standard/8377866-10.html].

RAX supplies silicone rubber seals as part of its standard material range, with EPDM/TPE options for OEM projects, and validates complete doors from -30 °C cold storage to +50 °C desert duty. Seals are profiled to your panel and frame geometry and ship with SGS material reports — matched to the panels and hardware from the same factory so compression and contact lines are engineered, not guessed.

EPDM/TPE usage, astragal/T-bar profile types and -30 °C flexibility benchmark are industry conventions [ESTIMATE]. EN 12978 relationship for safety-edge seals is a verified standards summary [SOURCED https://antpedia.com/standard/8377866-10.html]. RAX-specific claims are from the approved brand brief.

How to Specify (Buyer Guide)

1. Seal position

Bottom astragal/T-bar for the floor gap; side and top seals for frame gaps [ESTIMATE] — specify all three.

2. Material to climate

EPDM/TPE for standard duty, silicone for temperature extremes; target flexibility around -30 °C [ESTIMATE].

3. Safety function

On powered doors, a sensing bottom seal must satisfy EN 12978 protective-device requirements [SOURCED https://antpedia.com/standard/8377866-10.html].

4. Compression fit

Profile must compress to seal without dragging the door — match to panel/frame geometry at technical drawing stage.
