I live in an old house. Much of the weatherstripping on the doors is
felt or springy metal. At the local Lowes / HD all you can find is the
self-adhesive foam strips which last about one year -- or they have
the better looking stuff which slides into a track -- I suppose this
is for the tracks in the frame of a sliding glass door. What would you
consider to be the optimum weatherstripping for an exterior wooden
door and where do you buy it? Thanks.


*Spring loaded vinyl weatherstrip that screws to the face of the
door-jam on the inside, so that it is displaced inwards when the door
closes against it - assuming door swings out. Opposite if door swings
in. Available at good hardware and building supply stores everywhere.
