Weatherstripping Replacement
Eliminate drafts and reduce your heating costs with our weatherstripping replacement service for doors and windows. New, compatible seals for your model for optimal comfort and restored airtightness, even in the coldest weather.
Weatherstripping: your ally against drafts
Weatherstripping is the strip of flexible material (foam, rubber, silicone, brush or vinyl) that ensures the seal between the fixed frame and the moving part of your doors and windows. It's a discreet but absolutely essential component for your home's comfort and energy efficiency. Worn or damaged weatherstripping can let in as much air as a window left ajar.
In Quebec, where the heating season extends for nearly seven months, weatherstripping in poor condition can lead to considerable energy losses. Studies show that complete weatherstripping replacement throughout a home can reduce heating costs by 10 to 15%. It's one of the most cost-effective improvements you can make to your home.
Weatherstripping replacement is also important for protection against water infiltration, exterior noise reduction and prevention of dust and insect entry. It's a simple and affordable service with an immediate, measurable impact on your daily comfort.
How to recognize worn weatherstripping
The most obvious sign of worn weatherstripping is the presence of drafts around your closed doors and windows. Place your hand along the frame of a closed door or window: if you feel cool air, the weatherstripping is no longer doing its job. Another simple test is to slide a sheet of paper between the door and frame: if it slides easily, the seal is no longer compressed enough.
Visually, worn weatherstripping may show signs of deterioration: permanent flattening (it no longer springs back to shape), hardening (the rubber or foam has become rigid), tears, cracks or missing pieces. Weatherstripping that sticks or prevents the door from closing properly is also a sign it needs to be replaced.
Entry doors and patio doors are the most heavily used openings and therefore where weatherstripping wears out fastest. Sliding and casement windows are also frequent weak points. In general, weatherstripping should be replaced every 5 to 8 years depending on use and exposure to the elements.

Weatherstripping type identification

Everything about weatherstripping
How do I know if my weatherstripping needs replacing?
Place your hand along the frame of your closed doors and windows. If you feel cool air, your weatherstripping is worn. Other signs: the seal is flattened, hardened, cracked or peeling; you can see light around the closed door; or your heating bills are increasing for no apparent reason. In general, weatherstripping should be replaced every 5 to 8 years.
How much does weatherstripping replacement cost?
Our rates start at $5 per linear foot, including the part and installation. The total cost depends on the number of doors and windows to be treated and the type of weatherstripping required. For a standard entry door, expect between $40 and $80 for complete replacement. We offer a free quote.
What types of weatherstripping do you offer?
We offer all types of weatherstripping: compressive foam, EPDM rubber, silicone, brush (for sliding windows), tubular vinyl and door sweeps. We keep the most common profiles in stock for popular Quebec brands (Novatech, Fenplast, Jeld-Wen, etc.).
Can I replace my weatherstripping myself or do I need a professional?
Some simple weatherstripping (adhesive foam, door sweeps) can be replaced by a DIYer. However, weatherstripping embedded in a channel or compression seals specific to certain door models require exact profile identification and proper tools. Poorly done replacement can damage the frame or fail to ensure proper sealing. Our professional service guarantees the right result.
