Default Cushion for slamming doors

On Wed 03 Jun 2009 06:05:14p, mook johnson told us...

I'm looking for an good looking option for reducing the noise the
interior doors make when closing. I've use the little round felt pads
used for cabinet doors but they look tacky and I need four or five of
them on each door so they are easy to spot.

Is there some kind of continuous gasket or something that can be painted
the same color as to door jam that will cushion the blow when a door
closes?


Do people in your house slam doors? I've lived in numerous houses/codos/
apartments and never experienced the problem you describe. Do these doors
close on their own?

There is narrow self-adhesive foam weatherstrip that you might consider.
I've seen them in white, gray, and brown. However, foam should not be
painted.
