Review on πŸ¦† Durable Weatherstripping with Duck Heavy Duty Adhesive - Model 282433 by Richard Payne

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good insulation, difficult installation

My rental doors are crooked and cold air blows in during the winter months. I looked for dark foam insulation but only found this white plastic coated foam. Deciding which size to purchase was extremely difficult as I had never purchased this item before. The size I bought could have been better but I chose to use it. Installation is not as easy as a piece of styrofoam. My first attempt was set up with a hump where the foam is back to front. It seemed logical to me, but after examining the photos, watching videos from YT, and requesting videos via SMS - waste of time - I realized I installed it backwards. It was not for nothing that I left what I installed and felt. leaking when the door is closed. Surprisingly, I only found two areas. This time I installed the insulation as best I could according to the instructions. Now I'm having a harder time closing the doors, but all the edges are sealed so I don't mind. I like the plastic exterior as it looks much neater than the exposed foam. I would order full isolation next time. Then there is no right or wrong when it comes to installation.
