Hello, yesterday I ordered some lengths of
58-045 to replace the worn out 40 yr. old wool pile insulation in several 43 year old sliding glass doors.
Having pulled out a strip, I measured and decided that the 9/32 x 1/4 was the best fit, even though the new strips have a plastic fin in the center that the old ones don't.
This morning I woke up and thought: what's the big rush? Send some photos and make sure you get the right stuff.
So here goes. I'm pretty confident about the 9/32" width of the strip that fits in the channels of the aluminum door frames. I'm wondering about the pile height.
The channel in which the doors close is 1 - 9/16" wide. The aluminum door frame is 1 - 1/16" thick. If my math is correct, that's 1/4" difference.
Does the pile need to be a little taller to fill the gaps snugly?
