Spec-Equivalent Cross-Reference
Schlegel Alternative
Spec-equivalent SB5 SKUs for the pile + foam-filled jamb seal family
Schlegel (now part of Tyman) is a long-established supplier of fenestration weatherseals, best known for foam-filled jamb seals and a deep pile weatherstrip line. Their catalog is gated behind brochure downloads and stock status is not published. SB5 sources to the same AAMA 701/702 dimensional matrix and the same kerf-in foam-filled construction used across the Schlegel pile and jamb-seal families.
About this cross-reference
SB5 is not affiliated with Schlegel. Schlegel is a separate company; their trademarks belong to them. This page shows which SB5 components are built to the same published specification standards (AAMA 701/702-23, AAMA 702; BHMA A156.22, AAMA 701/702-23; ASTM D3330) so OEM buyers searching for a Schlegel-equivalent can find the matching SB5 SKU. Specs listed for Schlegel products reflect the public industry standard — not Schlegel's proprietary tooling, formulation, or branding.
