Pile Properties
Ultrafab is the industry leader in custom fenestration sealing systems for window and door products. Whether it is new construction, residential, replacement or commercial Weatherseals, Ultrafab is the industry innovator!
Weatherstrip Properties
Ultrafab Weatherstrip products are manufactured to the highest quality:
- U.V. stabilized resins ensure extended field life when exposed to sunlight
- Yarn denier weight control within +/-5%
- Ultrasonic welding ensures that fiber, fin and backing materials are integrated into a single component
- Pile directors allow for filaments to stand firmly upright, thus providing maximum compression sealing
- Fins that can extend ABOVE the pile height to provide additional sealing performance
- Compression set resistance of <10%
