What Is Spring Bronze Weatherstripping?
Spring bronze weatherstripping is a thin strip of flexible bronze metal installed along the sides of a window sash. It creates consistent tension between the sash and frame, forming a tight seal that reduces air infiltration without compromising smooth operation.
Unlike modern adhesive-backed products that wear down over time, spring bronze is:
- Durable and long-lasting
- Ideal for historic and wood windows
- Resistant to Florida’s humidity and temperature changes
- Nearly invisible once installed
It’s a preservation-friendly solution that enhances comfort without altering the character of your home.
