Anyone know the official name for this sort of door seal?
[IMG]formatting linkplastic (polypropylene?) backing that slots into the aluminium
carrier is 5mm wide, and the height including the pile is about 7mm. Any pointers appreciated
What's this seal called?

A brush seal
Brush seals all seem to have springy nylon bristles. This is much finer with no resistance to the door closing against it. I'm guessing it might be a fire seal.
I've always known that stuff as "Schlegel"; apparently it was developed to seal the cockpit canopies of WW2 Luftwaffe aircraft.
Schlegel still make it as part of their weatherstrip range, but I don't need 100 metres of the stuff! There are a couple of online suppliers of similar products but the carriage kills it. I'll probably have to bodge something up from retail products. SF intumescent seal strips have a polyprop pile that may be the right size.
