Tiivistesauvat

Tiivistesauvat, often translated as sealing rods or sealing cords, are flexible, compressible materials used to fill gaps and create a seal between surfaces. They are commonly found in construction, window and door installation, and automotive applications. The primary function of tiivistesauvat is to prevent the passage of air, water, dust, and other unwanted elements, thereby improving insulation, energy efficiency, and structural integrity.

These rods are typically made from a variety of materials, including foam, rubber, or synthetic fibers. The specific material chosen depends on the intended application and the required properties such as elasticity, durability, and resistance to environmental factors like UV radiation and temperature fluctuations. The shape and diameter of the tiivistesauva are also crucial, as they must be able to compress sufficiently to fit into a gap and then expand to create a tight seal.

Installation of tiivistesauvat is generally straightforward. They are often pre-cut to the required length and then inserted into the gap, where their inherent elasticity ensures a snug fit. In some cases, adhesives or mechanical fasteners may be used to secure them in place. The effectiveness of a tiivistesauva relies on its ability to maintain its sealing properties over time, resisting compression set and degradation. They are an economical and efficient solution for sealing a wide range of joints and openings.
