Why Dust Ingress Requires Proper Sealing
Openings under doors, and between door frames and other structures, create direct paths for dust, critters, and moisture to infiltrate. A gap of as little as 3 mm can allow a substantial amount of dust to enter a warehouse or factory during high wind conditions.
Standard outcomes of inadequate sealing are as follows:
- Compromised inventory and damage to delicate equipment
- Elevated energy consumption in HVAC systems due to air leaks
- Frequent cleaning requirements that escalate labor and downtime
- Pest infiltration into controlled environments that must remain sterile
Properly installed Straight Strip Brushes fix all of these problems at the same time. While rigid (hard) rubber seals cannot conform to an uneven surface and tend to create too much drag/friction when in contact, a brush-type seal can conform to any surface while in contact without creating excessive drag/friction. Anyone who understands how the brush seal works will understand why they are better than utilizing a rigid rubber weather seal.
