Schlegel QL3009 (AQ21) Aquamac 21 Weatherseal - White

• Designed for rebates 2.7-3.0mm wide
• Polyurethane foam core – high durability, superior recovery performance
• Polyethylene film – weather and UV resistant
• Polypropylene insert – prevents elongation and shrinkage

The Aquamac 21 is a high performance window and door seal by Schlegel. A very effective seal which reduces draughts to a minimum. Aquamac 21 compresses to seal against air and water penetration with excellent memory, returning to its original shape after compression.  Non shrinking, even in extreme weather, it is also UV stable.

For nearly 50 years Schlegel Weatherseals have provided durable, colourfast seals against acoustic, air and water filtration. Backed by a ten year guarantee, the Schlegel promise is that Q-Lon is a highly cost effective way of offering continuous high standards of weather sealing, year after year.

• Paint and stain proof
• Embossed exterior, resistant to contamination
• Compatible with cleaning agents

AQ21 is supplied in a continuous piece based on the length ordered,  e.g. if you order 2 metres, you'll receive one 2-metre long piece, rather than multiple smaller sections.  If you order 9 metres, you'll receive one 9-metre long piece, and so on.

Installation Instructions:

The seal is a simple push fit into the groove and fits alongside the bead or overlap of the window. A roller can be used to roll the seal into the groove to aid insertion. Please make sure not to damage the seal while doing this.

1. Mark the timber beading for cutting. Make sure the “V” of the flipper faces away from the external edge of the window or door (otherwise water can collect in the “V”) and that the top edge is flush to the top of the beading.
2. Determine the gap size and whether the seal is for a rebated fit or flush fit
3. Cut a channel for the foot (see above for groove depth).
4. Measure the size of the seal required and cut to the required length, ensuring
that it is mitred in the corners.
5. Make sure the surface is clean and dry and free from any surface oils, dirt or sawdust etc.
6. Push fit the foot into the routed groove, making sure it is a good tight fit.
7. Make sure the flipper doesn’t fit too proud of the beading otherwise the seal will fail. Similarly, make sure it isn’t lower than the beading otherwise water may collect in the gap.
8. Test the window to make sure there is a smooth opening and closing movement.
