Moreover, the bottom brush strip also acts as a barrier against heat. Fire doors are rated for a specific duration during which they can withstand high temperatures. Enhancing the seal at the bottom can help maintain this rating by reducing the amount of heat that can transfer through the door’s lower edge.

Ease of Maintenance

One of the primary functions of the oven door seal is maintaining the internal temperature of the oven. When the seal is compromised—either due to wear and tear, accumulated grime, or improper installation—heat can escape, leading to an increase in cooking times and inconsistency in the final product. For instance, baked goods may not rise correctly, and meats may cook unevenly. This not only affects the quality of your food but also leads to increased energy consumption as the oven struggles to maintain the desired temperature.
