Commercial Door Sweep Types: Brush, Neoprene, Vinyl & Drip Edges
Our comprehensive selection of commercial door sweeps represents the industry standard for perimeter sealing and life-safety compliance. We stock premium solutions from the "Big Three" manufacturers—National Guard Products (NGP), Pemko (ASSA ABLOY), and Hager—ensuring every opening meets rigorous UL 10C Positive Pressure and ADA accessibility standards.
Whether your project requires the extreme temperature resistance of neoprene, the self-leveling capabilities of nylon brush, or the economical moisture protection of vinyl, our inventory is curated for durability in high-traffic environments. From smoke-rated gaskets for interior corridors to heavy-duty drip edges for exterior outswing doors, these Grade 1 products are engineered to reduce energy costs and protect your facility’s structural integrity.

STC (Sound Transmission Class) Performance Chart
| STC Rating | Performance Level | Description of Sound Blocked |
| 20-25 | Very Poor | Low speech is audible and easily understood. |
| 30-35 | Fair | Loud speech is understood; typical for standard wood doors. |
| 40-50 | Very Good | Loud speech is heard only faintly; requires Automatic Door Bottoms. |
| 50-60 | Excellent | Loud sounds (machinery/music) are faintly audible or silent. |
Brush Door Sweeps
Nylon brush sweeps are the premier choice for uneven floor surfaces and high-traffic storefronts. Unlike solid gaskets, the independent bristles conform to irregular thresholds and gaps, providing a dense barrier against dust, pests, and light. Because they create minimal friction, they are ideal for doors with sensitive closing force requirements.
Vinyl Door Sweeps
The most cost-effective option for commercial applications, vinyl sweeps provide a solid moisture and air barrier. These are best suited for standard interior openings or moderate exterior use where budget is a primary factor. Our vinyl inserts are flame-resistant and offer reliable performance in climates ranging from 0 degrees F to140 degrees F.
Neoprene Door Sweeps
For heavy-duty weatherproofing and extreme temperatures, neoprene is the professional's choice. These high-performance rubber seals remain flexible from -20 degrees F to 200 degrees F and offer superior resistance to abrasion and chemicals. Neoprene is the gold standard for exterior doors in harsh environments or industrial settings where a long-lasting, airtight seal is mandatory.
Drip Edge Sweeps
Rain drip sweeps feature a specialized aluminum deflector that sheds water away from the door bottom. These are essential for outswinging exterior doors exposed to direct rain or snow. By rerouting water away from the seal material, drip edges significantly extend the life of your underlying sweep and prevent moisture from seeping into the building.
