Introduction
The Frost King DWS1 Double Draft Stop Seal is designed to prevent air infiltration and exfiltration through windows, enhancing energy efficiency and indoor comfort. This product is made from durable fabric and foam materials, offering a simple and effective solution for sealing gaps.
Product Overview
Image: The Frost King DWS1 Double Draft Stop Seal, shown as a long, cylindrical object with a brown fabric exterior and a lighter interior, designed to fit into window gaps.
The DWS1 features a dual-tube design, allowing it to effectively block drafts from both sides of a window. Its flexible construction accommodates various window sizes and types, providing a snug fit to minimize heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
Setup and Installation
The Frost King DWS1 Double Draft Stop Seal is designed for easy installation without the need for tools or adhesives.
- Prepare the Window: Ensure the window sill and frame are clean and free of debris.
- Measure: The draft stop is designed for windows between 21 and 37 inches wide. Verify your window's width to ensure proper fit.
- Position the Seal: Open the window slightly. Place one tube of the draft stop on the interior side of the window sill and the other tube on the exterior side, aligning them with the bottom edge of the window sash.
- Close the Window: Gently close the window, allowing the bottom sash to rest between the two tubes of the draft stop. The flexible fabric will conform to the window's bottom edge, creating a seal.
- Adjust as Needed: Ensure the draft stop is snug against both sides of the window sash to maximize its effectiveness.
Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Frost King DWS1 Double Draft Stop Seal operates passively by continuously blocking air drafts. No further user interaction is required for its function.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: If the draft stop becomes dusty or dirty, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the draft stop for any signs of wear or damage. While durable, extreme conditions or prolonged use may affect its integrity.
- Storage: If removed for seasonal storage, store the draft stop in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its material integrity.
