Timber Flat Flipper Seals
Flat flipper seals, also known as F series weatherseals, are designed to be used as replacement seals in timber frames on windows and doors. They are ideal for timber casement windows and narrow tall windows. Over time your existing seals may perish, become less effective or have been over compressed. Replacing these seals when they show signs of damage is essential for protecting your home, saving you money and keeping you warm and comfortable.
These flat flipper weatherseals are designed for easy insertion and fit directly into the timber frame. Compared to similar products, the flexible lip allows for lower closing forces and creates a reliable air and watertight seal when the window or door is closed. The rigid back is manufactured from high-quality Propylene that holds the profile firmly in the groove in the frame.
Easy insertion flat flipper seals are available in a range of colours and sizes, depending on the size of your frame and gap you need to seal.

Our easy insertion flat flipper weatherseals are available in four different sizes, 12mm, 15mm, 16mm and 18mm. This measurement refers to the height of the seal and allows you to purchase a section that will sit flush with the top edge of the frame. To identify the best replacement section, you will need to measure the height of the frame from the top of the groove.
These products are designed to be fitted into a groove in your window or door frame. This groove will need to be 2.7mm wide by 6.5mm deep. All of these sections seal a gap between 2.5mm and 7mm.
Timber flat flipper seals are designed to be pushed into the groove around the frame on your window or door. You need to ensure that this groove is clean, dry and free from dirt or debris before inserting the seal. Cut the seal to the required length and gently push it into the groove all the way around the frame ensuring that the V of the flipper faces away from the external edge of the window or door.
It is important to make sure that the seal does not sit proud or too low within the groove as incorrectly positioned seals can create an area for water to sit. Once the seal is correctly positioned, use a staple gun to secure it through the rigid back to the edge of the frame.
Deciding on the best replacement flat flipper seal for your window or door may seem like a complicated task. Although this section may not seem like the most important part of your window or door, it is essential for reducing draughts, water ingress and keeping your home warm and comfortable.
