Stripping Size and
Overlap Section Guide

When choosing strip sizes and overlaps, consider the following points:

For taller doors, the strips should be heavier and wider
Smaller width strips are easier to pass through than the wider strips
When air movement is a problem, choose the wider strip with full overlap.
