Sealing brush strips are sealing materials used for doors, windows, equipment, and machines to reduce the loss of air and moisture, thereby improving indoor comfort and energy efficiency. Their use is widespread in home decoration and the construction industry. So, can installing sealing brush strips save electricity? This article will explore this question from several perspectives.
How Sealing Brush Strips Work
First, we need to understand how sealing brush strips work. These strips are comb-shaped and usually made from materials such as polypropylene, polyurethane, polyester, and polyethylene. Their main function is to fill gaps in doors, windows, equipment, and machines, reducing heat exchange and air infiltration between the indoor and outdoor environments. This helps to maintain a relatively stable indoor temperature, thereby reducing energy waste and operating costs.
Energy-Saving Effects of Sealing Brush Strips
Next, let’s look at the energy-saving effects of sealing brush strips. Research shows that doors and windows with sealing brush strips save about 20% of energy in winter and 8% in summer compared to those without. This is because the sealing strips create an airtight barrier between the door/window and the frame, reducing the infiltration of outdoor hot or cold air, while also preventing the loss of indoor air conditioning temperature. As a result, less energy is needed to maintain a constant indoor temperature, achieving energy savings.
Installation Steps for Sealing Brush Strips
Now, let’s understand how to install sealing brush strips. Installing these strips requires some skill and patience, and the process can be broken down into the following steps:
- Measure the dimensions of the door/window: Before installing the sealing brush strip, measure the dimensions of the door or window to ensure the strip’s length matches.
- Clean the door/window frame: Clean the frame to ensure the sealing brush strip can adhere securely.
- Cut the brush strip: After determining the length of the brush strip, cut it according to the shape and size of the door/window to ensure a perfect fit.
- Attach the brush strip: Place the adhesive side of the strip against the door/window frame, ensuring a snug fit.

Brush Strips for Motion Parts
Brush strips are mainly used as covers for moving parts. They help with insulation in doors and windows or keep moving parts of machines clean. The materials can be steel, aluminum, or plastic, and the filling material may consist of bristles or wires. The bristles create an effective seal, preventing dust, airflow, heat loss, and dirt. Due to their small contact area, bristles have a low friction coefficient and form an almost wear-free barrier. Uneven surfaces are also accommodated by the flexible bristles, sliding smoothly without resistance or damage.
Advantages of Sealing Brush Strips
When in contact with other surfaces, these brushes offer dense cushioning and protective sealing without wear. They are highly flexible and maintain their shape.
Applications of Sealing Brush Strips
Sealing brush strips can be used in a variety of fields, including doors, windows, industrial equipment, and electrical appliances. They provide excellent sealing effects and also offer dustproof, insect-resistant, and noise-reducing functions.
Installing sealing brush strips can save energy, improve indoor comfort, and reduce operating costs. When selecting and installing sealing brush strips, it is recommended to choose high-quality strips to ensure optimal sealing performance and durability.
