From basic foam fillers to advanced EPDM automated systems.
Market Development History
Before 2010, most door sealing in the region relied on basic PVC strips or manually placed foams, which lacked longevity and provided minimal protection against the fine dust typical of the region.
Between 2010 and 2020, there was a shift toward EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber. The introduction of the under door draft protection systems allowed for better thermal insulation in residential villas.
Since 2021, the market has transitioned toward "Smart Sealing," integrating automatic mechanisms that activate upon door closure to ensure a hermetic seal without impeding movement.
