    I am looking to seal around my front door. I would like to stay away from the cheap sticky seals as these were already on the door and had crumbled away.
    I have seen a few around and the one that catches my eye is this one from Trend. If anyone has experience with others fell free to pass them on
    Thanks

    Overkill for a door... "-30 degrees to +200 degreesC." ?

    What's the Irish made brand called? Eiretex or something?

    this one is not really suitable as a retrofit.

    there are ones attached to long lengths of brass that u screw on to jamb: I forget wher I got mine but they are good

    They can be retro fitted as long as you have a router. I dont mind routing a rebate in to the frame or door.
    Exitex do some nice ones but the ones I was looking at only come in 100M lengths

    IMHO, if u can 'retro-router' this into an existing, insitu door frame with a router, yuou are v good indeed as even with the best will in the world it will be tough to get into the corners.

    The door, yes if u take it off

    Depending on the seal and the type of cutter used corners will not be a problem. For those that you can't get in to the corner with, like the one in my previous post, I guess you'll have to sharpen your chisel
