Door Sweep Replacement Stock
Use this door sweep replacement stock tool when you have measured values for doors, width, waste percent. It applies a transparent mathematical relationship to those values to return an answer in m. Unlike a prediction or recommendation, this is a calculation from your inputs. This calculates bottom sweeps, not perimeter weatherstripping. Enter a different scenario to see how this particular quantity changes; check the assumptions before using it in a project.
How to use this calculator
- Use exact measurements and consistent units for doors, width, waste percent.
- Enter each quantity; blank, nonnumeric and out-of-range inputs are not accepted.
- Compare the reported m quantity against your own data and the limitations below.
Formula for Door Sweep Replacement Stock
m = doors*width*(1+waste_percent/100). Inputs are expressed in the units shown by the labels.
- This uses a direct renovation relationship and does not retrieve remote data, forecasts or individual account information.
- This calculates bottom sweeps, not perimeter weatherstripping.
Worked examples
Worked example — Door Sweep Replacement Stock
Enter Doors = 6, Width = 0.9, Waste percent = 9.
Apply doors*width*(1+waste_percent/100).
