Schweiss Doors is introducing a Unique weather seal kit that can be
retrofitted to all styles of doors, being Hydraulic doors or Bifold doors.
The new bottom seal has a special foam cushion that provides an extra
weather tight seal on the bottom of any style door. The special designed
foam cushion kit allows the door bottom rubber to conform to dips and
bumps in the surface giving you a uniform seal to ensure a weather tight
seal at the bottom of each door.
