Sliding & Patio Door Weatherstrip Identification

Source-backedApplication guideSource-backed identification reference
Evidence boundary: This guide uses source-backed evidence. It does not establish an OEM part number, exact product identity, universal dimensions, compatibility, supersession, or replacement fit.

Identify sliding-patio-door weatherstrip by track location, pile or extrusion form, backing and contact direction.

Generic sliding/window location context
Reference graphic — schematic, not exact product depiction.

Identification path

  1. Record where the seal sits and whether contact is sliding, wiping or compression.
  2. Identify the mounting interface before judging the sealing body.
  3. Capture the end-view and the the relevant measurement fields for that family.
  4. Keep brand/system names as discovery context until exact source-backed evidence exists.

Profile families worth checking

profile record

Compression seal — Kerf-in bulb

End-view shows a compressible bulb joined to a narrow insertion stem/base that seats in a cut groove.

Interface: kerf / push-in stem

Do not infer: Do not infer kerf width, bulb size, handing, product series or fit from the word 'kerf' alone.

profile record

Compression seal — Kerf-in foam-clad compression

Soft/foam compression body with a distinct insert/backing intended for a groove; outer skin/liner may be visible.

Interface: kerf / push-in stem

Do not infer: Do not use Q-LON as a generic compatibility claim; brand/product code and dimensions remain separate evidence.

profile record

Compression seal — Hollow / multi-hollow bulb

Cross-section contains one or more hollow chambers that compress against the mating surface.

Interface: T-slot · kerf · adhesive · other documented base

Do not infer: Do not assume mounting method from 'bulb' or 'bubble'; body and base must be identified separately.

profile record

Compression seal — Kerf-in leaf / flap

Thin flexible leaf/flap projects from an inserted base rather than forming a closed bulb.

Interface: kerf / inserted base

Do not infer: Do not equate every fin-like extrusion with pile fin; leaf/flap is a continuous extruded body.

profile record

Compression seal — T-slot bulb extrusion

Bulb body is joined to a base whose cross-section slides into a matching slot/carrier.

Interface: T-slot / slide-in base

Do not infer: Do not map T-slot to garage-door T-end; similar letter naming does not establish interchangeable geometry.

profile record

Compression seal — T-slot leaf / flap extrusion

Continuous leaf/flap body with a slide-in base for an extruded slot.

Interface: T-slot / slide-in base

Do not infer: Do not assume slot size from family name; base dimensions are mandatory for fit work.

profile record

Compression seal — Surface-mounted bulb / tube

Compressible tube/bulb is attached to a face/flange or carrier fixed to a frame surface.

Interface: surface-fastened

Do not infer: Do not infer screw/nail spacing or gap capacity without a product specification.

profile record

Compression seal — Adhesive-backed compression extrusion

Compression body has an adhesive mounting face rather than an insertion stem/carrier.

Interface: pressure-sensitive adhesive

Do not infer: Do not assume adhesive chemistry, substrate suitability or service life from generic family.
