Heavy-Duty EPDM Bottom Weatherstrip for Coiling Steel Doors
When your rolling steel door faces extreme temperatures, a standard vinyl bottom seal will not hold up. The Action Industries BDS13 EPDM bottom seal is engineered from high-quality EPDM synthetic rubber to maintain flexibility and sealing performance across a temperature range of -50°F to 350°F. Whether your facility operates a cold storage environment, an outdoor-facing loading dock, or an industrial space exposed to intense heat, this heavy-duty rubber weatherstrip keeps harmful weather, pests, dust, and debris on the outside where they belong.
This bottom weatherstrip bolts directly between the bars on the bottom of a rolling steel door. No plastic or aluminum retainers are required, making it a simple, efficient one-piece installation that reduces both time and material costs. It is sold by the foot for single-door projects or in a 100 ft. reel for multi-door facility rollouts.
Features and Benefits
- EPDM synthetic rubber construction withstands extreme temperatures from -50°F to 350°F
- Bolts between the bottom bars of rolling steel doors — no retainer channel needed
- Creates a durable barrier against drafts, moisture, dust, pests, and debris
- Compatible with pneumatic reversing hoses used on commercial rolling steel door safety systems
- Can be paired with a door threshold seal for an additional layer of floor-level protection
- One-piece installation simplifies replacement and reduces labor time
- Available by the foot or in a 100 ft. reel for larger projects
- Made in the USA by Action Industries
Applications
This EPDM rubber bottom seal is purpose-built for rolling steel doors used across a wide range of commercial and industrial environments. It is the right choice anywhere your coiling door bottom weatherstrip must hold up under temperature extremes or demanding daily use.
Cold storage and freezer facilities represent one of the most important applications for this seal. Standard vinyl weatherstripping hardens and cracks below freezing. EPDM maintains its flexibility at -50°F, ensuring a consistent floor-level seal even in sub-zero storage conditions. On the other end of the spectrum, facilities with high heat exposure — including foundries, bakeries, and manufacturing plants — benefit from the material’s ability to perform at temperatures up to 350°F.
Additional applications include mini warehouse and self-storage facilities where unit-level rolling steel doors need reliable weather protection, commercial loading dock doors that must seal out drafts and air infiltration when closed, and any industrial facility performing a bottom seal replacement on a rolling steel door that mounts between the bottom bars.
