M-d Building Products 02253 Foam Weatherstrip Tape Gray

Product Description

The M-D BUILDING PRODUCTS 02253 is a self-adhesive closed cell PVC foam weatherstrip tape designed to seal gaps around doors and windows. At 3/8 inches wide and 3/16 inches thick, the tape compresses to block air infiltration, dust, and moisture intrusion at common leak points in residential and light commercial construction. Each roll covers 17 linear feet. The pressure-sensitive adhesive backing allows direct application to clean, dry surfaces without additional fasteners or tools. Installers and contractors reach for this product when a fast, low-cost seal is needed during new construction, renovation, or seasonal maintenance work.

This weatherstrip tape is suited for interior and exterior door frames, window sashes, casement frames, and sliding door tracks. It performs in residential entry doors, garage side doors, and operable window assemblies where a compressible foam seal is the appropriate solution. The gray color blends with common frame finishes and painted surfaces. It is typically applied by general contractors, carpenters, insulation crews, or experienced DIYers performing weatherization work.

Key Features

• High-density closed cell PVC foam resists moisture absorption and maintains seal under repeated compression
• Self-adhesive backing for tool-free installation on clean, dry surfaces
• 3/8 inches wide by 3/16 inches thick profile fits standard gap tolerances around doors and windows
• 17-foot roll length covers a full door perimeter or multiple window frames per roll
• Gray finish suits painted frames and neutral-tone installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose weatherstrip solution for standard residential door frames, window sashes, and casement assemblies where a compressible closed cell foam tape seal is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, weatherization contractors, or general tradespeople and requires no specialized tools beyond a utility knife and a tape measure. The mounting surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, or old adhesive residue before application to ensure proper adhesion. Press the tape firmly along the full length of the frame, working in continuous runs where possible to avoid gaps at joints. No fasteners, primers, or special coatings are required under normal interior or sheltered exterior conditions.
