Gysinge’s own sealing strip has no synthetic admixture, but is made entirely of wool.
Wool, unlike other textile fibers, is an elastic material that swells in large gaps and shrinks where space is limited. In addition, wool repels moisture, while flax and cotton, for example, absorb it.
Wool is therefore the ideal material for weatherstripping, sealing against draughts and dust, yet allowing the house to breathe.
Available in two thicknesses: 5 mm for windows. 8 mm for doors and thicker gaps.
Best applied with a staple gun, but can also be nubbed.
The sealing strip or wool cord is reusable and can be removed when repainting and put back again afterwards. Should last about a generation.
100% Wool. Swedish made for Gysinge. Also called wool cord. Thickness 5mm or 8mm.

Window wadding is placed between the outer and inner sashes of windows that have loose interior windows. Our wadding has been manufactured in an unbroken tradition since 1902 and is a well-known quality for anyone living in old houses. The wadding is inserted when the windows are sealed for the winter. It is considered a draught excluder, which may be true, but its main function is probably decorative. The wadding has a backing of thin paper and is shaped like a roll in the window. If you want, you can stiffen the roll by first rolling it up around a piece of newspaper. The wadding tends to shrink due to the moisture between the window sashes. If you want to decorate it further, you can place evergreens or other dried plants on top of the wadding.
Cut the batting to the same width as the window. Leave the paper in place. Turn the cut piece over so the paper is facing up and carefully roll into a roll. Place in the window with the seam facing down.
