Energy Efficient Gaskets and Seals to Reduce Air Infiltration
To increase energy efficiency and prevent air leakage, Nomaco offers SOF® Seal and SOF® Chink as air infiltration barriers. SOF Seal and SOF Chink are bi-cellular polyethylene foam gaskets with a non-absorbing skin. SOF Seal is a “P” shape gasket used on marriage wall joints in factory-built modular and double-wide manufactured homes. SOF Chink is commonly used around wall or joint cavities, between pre-hung doors and windows and rough openings in wood frame homes. The low compression deflection and high compression recovery of these products will not bow windows or door jambs and will adapt to seasonal joint movement. Specific uses for SOF Seal and SOF Chink include log homes, marriage joints, seal at attic access openings, casement window joints, some dry wall applications, wall to wall joints, wall to floor joints, and roof to wall joints, and around doors and windows in wood frame structures.
