Door flaps...wind and rain blocker

John_Jizzle

Hi - going to try to explain what I'm looking for.

I have a conservatory with wooden doors. In summer everything is fine. In winter the doors swell and seem too big to close.

I'm going to sand them down so they easily close and open.

What I need is some kind of flap that would be on the edge of the door that would overlap the wood frame it meets - meaning no rain/wind can get through the small gap it would create.

Does any of that make sense? not sure what to google to find it.

I think its something called a T Astragal that you need to use. you'll have to google it .

Or speak to a carpenter/joiner to see what they recommend?

the T astragal ones would be good but dont need it to go between the doors (gap isnt that big)

the weatherproof strips seems close to what I'm looking for (although all ones I've searched seem to be for the bottom of the door)
