Innovative Window & Door Seals

Cooper Standard ISG can help you through the entire extrusion or molded process. Work with our application engineers to identify the material, design and processes that can enhance installation and performance of your products.

Cooper Standard ISG offers various standard rubber and plastic sealing solutions including entry door seals, door sweeps, iDea® Seals, fire rated silicone tear drops, glazing wedge seals, push-in/slide-in seals, setting blocks, and more. 

In addition to high quality extrusions, Cooper Standard ISG is also an expert in molding small or intricate shapes, such as corner gaskets, providing industry manufacturers with an expert one-stop shop for all seals and gaskets needed for any window and door design.

Cooper Standard ISG can cure highly effective coatings right to the seal, providing reduced surface friction for improved ease of assembly, as well as imparting properties such as long term abrasion resistance to dynamic seals for greatly increased open/close cycles.

We can pre-cut seals in many ways to save you time and labor costs at the assembly end. We can cut long extrusions accurately to custom lengths before shipping. As well as precisely punch, drill, die cut, machine, notch or otherwise prepare the seal for optimum utility in any window or door design.

With Cooper Standards ISG’s extensive window and door experience, we have developed seals that can make a continuous corner, as opposed to the traditional glued corners. For example, notching an extrusion into an angle can deliver a part far more effective at avoiding leak paths.

Cooper Standard ISG’s extruding and materials expertise allow the strategic combination of two or even three different rubber and plastic materials in different areas of the profile to optimize desired properties.

Cooper Standard ISG expertise includes the ability to injection mold seal corners and then splice the extrusions to create a seal for preassembled four cornered frames.

Cooper Standard ISG can not only specify the optimum compatible high performance adhesive system for seals going into any window or door substrate and design, but also pre-apply a peel-off strip to the seal for fast installation at your facility.

Cooper Standard ISG formulates its own material compounds, allowing for highly accurate color matching and aesthetic compatibility with different woods and materials, with different shades of white, black, tan, beige and more.

Cooper Standard ISG can custom package seals and ship to fabricators, commercial dealers or even big box retailers, often placing components in heat sealed bags and accompanied by instruction cards, cleaning wipes or other materials as desired.

Identification marks on products can be crucial to manufacturing efficiency and quality. From an intricate logo to customer part numbers, we can provide identification markings that best fit your requirements.

Seals may require vent holes that enable the part to collapse under pressure. During part extrusion, holes can be drilled at precise, uniform intervals. Cut-to-length parts also can be placed in a punch press where a die creates the intended feature.

Splicing and welding can be used to form a simple O-ring or a complex multi-side product. We offer cold and hot splicing as well as transfer molded joints and vulcanized corners.

Speaking of improved ease of assembly, Cooper Standard ISG’s proprietary and innovative iDea Seals combine the low friction slickness of thermoplastic with a high performance rubber such as EPDM, allowing fast and ergonomic manual placement into a mating channel and outstanding compression performance of the outer seal.

A complex manufacturing process demanding tight tolerances, Cooper Standard ISG’s rubber to metal bonding expertise can offer a number of performance advantages, for example, helping build in sound or vibration dampening properties to quality window products.

Cooper Standard ISG’s proprietary Quickedge™ seals push on easily and snap in place to any exposed edge, providing a highly protective decorative finish and the window and door industry’s strongest permanent gripping power.

Providing fast and easy installation without gluing, Cooper Standard ISG Push-On Trim Seals lock in place manually with just a push, providing long term, highly aesthetic protection of any edge.
