1. Choose seals according to usage scenarios
Household seals:
Door and window seals: Mainly used to prevent air leakage, sound insulation, dust and water. Common ones are rubber seals, silicone seals and PVC seals.
Refrigerator door seals: You need to choose materials that are resistant to low temperatures, have good elasticity, and are not easy to age, such as EPDM seals.
Kitchens and bathrooms: These places have high humidity, so it is recommended to choose waterproof and mildew-proof seals, such as silicone seals.
Commercial seals:
Commercial building doors and windows: You need to consider weather resistance, fire resistance, and sound insulation, and usually use high-quality rubber seals or composite seals.
Industrial equipment and warehouses: You may need seals that are resistant to high temperatures and chemical corrosion, such as fluororubber seals.
Shopping malls and office buildings: For those with high requirements for beauty and durability, PVC sealing strips or aluminum alloy sealing strips can be selected.
2. Material characteristics
Rubber sealing strips:
Advantages: good elasticity, wear resistance, and strong weather resistance.
Disadvantages: Some rubber materials may age and need to be replaced regularly.
Applicable scenarios: doors and windows, automobiles, industrial equipment, etc.
Silicone sealing strips:
Advantages: high temperature resistance, waterproof, mildew resistance, soft and easy to install.
Disadvantages: low strength, not suitable for high-load scenarios.
Applicable scenarios: kitchens, bathrooms, refrigerator doors, etc.
PVC sealing strips:
Advantages: low price, beautiful appearance, corrosion resistance.
Disadvantages: poor elasticity, easy to become brittle at low temperatures.
Applicable scenarios: ordinary doors and windows, interior decoration, etc.
EPDM sealing strips:
Advantages: aging resistance, ozone resistance, and good waterproof performance.
Disadvantages: high price.
Applicable scenarios: high-end doors and windows, automobiles, refrigerators, etc.
Metal sealing strips (such as aluminum alloy):
Advantages: strong and durable, high-end appearance.
Disadvantages: high cost, high installation requirements.
Applicable scenarios: commercial buildings, high-end residences, etc.
3. Performance requirements
Airtightness: If it is for energy saving or windproof, you need to choose sealing strips with good airtightness, such as rubber or EPDM sealing strips.
Watertightness: In humid environments or scenes that require waterproofing (such as bathrooms and basements), silicone or EPDM sealing strips with strong waterproof performance should be selected.
Sound insulation: For scenes that require sound insulation (such as bedrooms and offices), rubber sealing strips or composite sealing strips are better choices.
Fireproofing: In commercial buildings, sealing strips that meet fire protection standards, such as fireproof rubber sealing strips, may be required.
4. Installation method
Adhesive sealing strips: easy to install, suitable for irregular surfaces or temporary use, but may need to be replaced regularly.
Card slot sealing strips: firmly installed, suitable for scenes that require long-term use such as doors and windows.
Magnetic sealing strips: mainly used for refrigerator doors, easy to install and good sealing.
5. Cost and maintenance
Cost: Rubber and PVC seals are cheaper and suitable for home users with limited budgets; silicone and EPDM seals are more expensive, but more durable and suitable for long-term use.
Maintenance: Rubber and PVC seals may need to be replaced regularly, while silicone and EPDM seals have a longer service life and lower maintenance costs.
