Great price, fairly efficient and easy to install

I was able to install it myself but it was very difficult to fit the tallest parts - I'm short and don't have strength above my head. So I had a 91 inch piece and was trying to hold it right up against the door frame above me and keep the nail in place and it's not that easy to drive it in. All I needed was one person to hold it so I could get started, but that's not exactly what I have access to. I had to install it with the 1/2 inch nails and then adjust the placement and nails. So I have a lot more holes in the door frame than would be ideal, but hey, this thing is fine and does a dam job of keeping out the heat and cold. There were spots in the roll that were slightly warped. When I measured it, the longer flap would stick out in waves. This doesn't seem to affect functionality after printing, just a bit annoying. I think this can be explained by the stretchiness of this seal, which is good most of the time but definitely a little annoying when I've gone back to retune. Because it will stretch, but it won't "stretch" so to speak to maintain tension. It stays stretched after you stretch it.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not much maintainability
