Seals & Weatherstripping in Detroit, Michigan

Improving Energy Efficiency, Comfort, and Door Performance in Commercial Buildings

In a city like Detroit, commercial doors face constant stress from temperature swings, wind, moisture, and heavy daily use. Without proper seals and weatherstripping, even a well-built door can allow air leaks, water intrusion, noise transfer, and premature hardware wear. Over time, those gaps lead to higher energy costs, uncomfortable interiors, and doors that no longer close or latch the way they should.

FBH Architectural Security provides commercial door seals and weatherstripping solutions in Detroit, helping businesses, institutions, and industrial facilities protect their buildings and improve door performance. With more than 70 years of experience, we understand how Detroit’s climate impacts commercial openings and how to specify products that hold up long term.

Why Door Seals Matter in Detroit Buildings

Detroit’s cold winters, humid summers, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles place extra demand on exterior and interior doors. Worn or missing seals can cause:

• Drafts and uneven indoor temperatures
• Increased heating and cooling costs
• Water infiltration and corrosion
• Excessive noise transfer
• Fire-rated or smoke-rated doors falling out of compliance

Properly installed seals and weatherstripping help doors close securely, maintain required clearances, and support life-safety and energy-efficiency goals.

Commercial Seals & Weatherstripping We Install

FBH supplies and installs a wide range of commercial-grade sealing products, selected based on door type, traffic level, and environmental exposure.

Common applications include:

• Perimeter seals for hollow metal and wood doors
• Door bottoms and sweeps for exterior openings
• Astragals for paired doors
• Smoke and draft control seals
• Fire-rated and smoke-rated gasketing
• Thresholds and sill components

All products are specified to work with the existing door, frame, and hardware without interfering with operation.

Installation & Replacement Services

Seals wear out over time due to constant door movement and exposure to the elements. FBH provides both new installation and replacement of commercial weatherstripping throughout Detroit.

Our process includes:

• Evaluating door condition and clearances
• Identifying air, water, or sound leakage points
• Selecting compatible sealing materials
• Installing seals without restricting door swing or latching
• Verifying smooth operation after installation

When seals are part of a fire-rated or smoke-rated opening, we ensure replacements maintain required compliance.

Seals for Fire-Rated and Smoke-Rated Doors

Fire and smoke doors rely on properly installed gasketing to perform as designed. Missing or incorrect seals are common inspection failures in commercial buildings.

FBH installs listed fire-rated and smoke-rated seals, ensuring:

• Compatibility with the door’s fire label
• Correct placement and fastening
• No interference with self-closing or latching hardware
• Continued compliance with NFPA and building code requirements
