Pile Weatherstrip Configurator
Spec pile weatherstrip by backing, pile, fin, and application.
Spec-first. Pick what you need — backing geometry, backing width, pile height, fin construction, application — and get the matching SB5 SKU, built to the published AAMA 701/702-23 standard.
Side rail and head rail tracks. Wind-resistance pile (≥ 12 mm) recommended for HVHZ zones.
Captured in an extrusion's T-slot. Most common for OEM production runs.
One ultrasonic-welded center fin. ~30% improvement in air infiltration vs. no-fin pile.

Pile Weatherstrip (Standard Matrix)
Full AAMA 701/702-23 backing × pile × fin matrix — covers most T-slot configurations.
Matching SB5 SKU
T-Slot Brush Seal
Brush-style alternate to pile — denser filament, often used where higher abrasion or wind load applies.
Built to the published standard
Every SKU shown above is built to the AAMA 701/702-23 dimensional matrix — if your current pile weatherstrip meets that spec, it's a like-for-like replacement. Send us a sample to confirm the match.
How this tool works
Pile weatherstrip is built to a standard, not to a brand.
Most fenestration component buyers shop pile weatherstrip by brand name first. But branded pile products are built to the same underlying spec: AAMA 701/702-23. The brand is the label; the spec is the part.
This configurator lets you spec the part by its actual dimensions — backing geometry × backing width × pile height × fin construction × application — and shows the matching SB5 SKU directly. If your current weatherstrip is built to the same published standard, you can switch sourcing without retooling.
Why this is faster than browsing a catalog: brand catalogs index by product name, not by spec. With this tool, you can spec the part dimensionally — the way the original sash design called for — and the SKU comes back automatically. Don't know the dimensions? Send us a sample of your current pile and we'll measure it.
Reference standards
AAMA 701/702-23 defines the dimensional matrix (backing widths, pile heights), air infiltration performance classes (Class A), and material requirements (UV-stabilized polypropylene). SB5 sources to the same standard direct from vetted overseas factories, inspects every production run at Plant City, and warehouses your spec locally after first order.
