Aluminum, Timber or PVC? Schlegel is the answer

Discover the brand new brochures by application material



When it comes to fenestration, whether it’s windows, doors, or sliding, their durability and performance depend not only on the base material and the hardware but also on an often-overlooked element: gaskets. Gaskets are crucial components that ensure an airtight seal between the sash and the frame, significantly contributing to thermal insulation, sound insulation, and weather protection.

With an extensive range and diverse selection of gaskets, Schlegel offers the perfect answer to meet all fenestration needs for each material frame: aluminium, timber and PVC.

Schlegel categories of seals are: Q-LON, brush pile and extruded.

Q-LON

Polyurethane foam seals.

  • The unique Q-LON seal is made from a special polyurethane foam, contained in a weather-resistant polyethylene liner;
  • Cradle to cradle certified.

Parts of the seals:

  • Film: Polyethylene (PE) film, with smooth or embossed surface weather and UV-resistant;
  • Foam: Polyurethane (PU) foam core with high durability and superior recovery performance;
  • Insert: Polypropylene (PP) or glass fibre cord prevents elongation and shrinkage of the seal.

Brush pile seals

Seals are made from virgin polypropylene (PP) yarn.

  • Available in many different widths and heights;
  • Different densities depending on seal type, width and mounting distance;
  • Heat setting for recovery after compression:
  • With optional adhesive backing based on hot-melt (HM) glue technology;
  • Cradle to Cradle certified.

Parts of the seal:

  • The fins: central and lateral fins, for increased air permeability performance;
  • Multifilament: standard soft multifilament yarn;

  • Lozaron TPE extruded profiles without foam (LT);
  • Polypropylene (LP) and PVC (LV) extrusions;
  • Lozaron TPE extrusions with flexible microcell foam (LF)
    Extra.

Parts of the seal:

  • Top: made of low friction material;
