Weatherstripping is the process of sealing openings such as doors, windows, and trunks from the elements. The term can also refer to the materials used to carry out such sealing processes. The goal of weatherstripping is to prevent rain and water from entering entirely or partially and accomplishes this by either returning or rerouting water. A secondary goal of weatherstripping is to keep interior air in, thus saving energy on heating and air conditioning.

Exterior doors and windows need effective insulation to keep your home efficiently warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There are a variety of weather stripping options to choose from, and some of them (for sealing doors) can be used together in order to get the best coverage.
When choosing weather stripping, be sure it is appropriate for its location. Weather stripping must be able to withstand the wear and tear from friction (when opening and closing windows and doors), and fluctuations in temperature and weather.
Types of Weather strips:
Adhesive-backed Foam Tape – Pressure-sensitive, adhesive-backed foam tape is probably the most common, most affordable and easiest weather stripping to apply. It comes ready to use in rolls of different dimensions. The tape keeps air from sneaking in between the door and the doorstop or between the two window sashes. It also adds a touch of soundproofing and cushioning for when the door is accidentally slammed. It usually lasts up to five years and is ideal for sealing drafty windows and doors.

Felt – Felt strips have been used for years; they’re an old-fashioned and inexpensive method of applying weather stripping. Like adhesive-backed foam tape, felt comes in rolls of varying lengths, widths, color and quality, and works well for windows and doors. It is usually nailed in place, but there are also adhesive-backed versions.
EPDM Rubber Weatherseal Tape – More durable than foam weather stripping, this self-sticking tape is an effective way to seal windows and doors and works similarly to foam weather stripping tape.
