Spring Bronze The Gold Standard of Weatherstripping

Why do professionals swear by spring bronze? Because it’s:

  • Extremely effective at sealing gaps from 1/16″ up to 1/2″

  • Incredibly long-lasting (100+ years of maintenance-free performance)

  • DIY-friendly (Unlike other metal weatherstripping, you can install it yourself)

  • Beautiful (Ages gracefully to a deep copper patina)

Once you install spring bronze properly, you will never have to weatherstrip that window or door again.

The secret? Understanding how, where, and what kind of weatherstripping to use.
