Brush Door Sweeps and Brush Door Bottom Seals

Brush door sweeps use rows of flexible nylon bristles to seal the gap beneath a door. The brush filaments provide a flexible bottom seal that can move smoothly across floors and accommodate some uneven surfaces. TM Hardware offers brush door bottom sweeps for commercial, residential and exterior door applications.

Our selection includes nylon brush door sweeps, brush door bottom seals, surface-mounted brush sweeps, mortised brush sweeps and rain drip door sweeps from trusted manufacturers including Pemko, Barzen and Zero.

Nylon Brush Door Sweeps

Nylon brush door sweeps are designed with tightly spaced brush filaments that form a flexible barrier beneath the door. The bristles can follow minor variations in the floor or threshold while maintaining contact with the surface.

Brush sweeps are available with different filament heights, allowing you to select a configuration based on the bottom gap and door application. TM Hardware carries brush sweep options ranging from shorter brush profiles to longer nylon brush configurations for larger gaps.

Brush Door Sweeps for Commercial and Residential Doors

Brush door bottom sweeps can be used on commercial entrances, residential exterior doors, interior doors, wood doors and metal doors. Their flexible construction makes them useful where the floor or threshold is not perfectly level.

For exterior applications, select a brush sweep with a rain drip design when the door requires additional protection from water running along the exterior side of the door.

Surface-Mounted and Mortised Brush Sweeps

Surface-mounted brush door sweeps attach to the bottom of the door and are available in a variety of aluminum casing and nylon brush configurations. They are commonly used when a surface installation is preferred.

Mortised brush door sweeps are recessed into the underside of the door for a less visible installation. They are suitable for applications where the door construction allows a recessed bottom seal.

For recessed door bottom solutions, see our Mortised Door Sweeps category.

Brush vs. Rubber Door Sweeps

Brush door sweeps provide flexible contact with the floor and can glide more easily across some uneven surfaces. They are a useful option where flexibility and floor movement are important.

Rubber door sweeps create a more continuous sealing barrier and are generally preferred when maximum draft and air infiltration reduction is the main requirement. Browse our Rubber Door Sweeps for solid rubber and neoprene sealing options.

Brush Door Sweeps from Pemko, Barzen and Zero

TM Hardware carries brush door sweeps from established manufacturers including Pemko, Barzen and Zero. Available products include nylon brush sweeps with aluminum casing, rain drip profiles, different brush heights and custom-size configurations.

Popular configurations include Pemko nylon brush door sweeps, Barzen custom and QuickShip brush sweeps, and Zero brush door sweep options.

Choose the Right Brush Door Bottom Sweep

When selecting a brush door sweep, consider the door width, bottom gap, floor or threshold condition, brush height and mounting method. For exterior doors, also consider whether a rain drip configuration is appropriate.

The correct brush height should provide sufficient contact with the floor or threshold without creating excessive resistance when the door opens and closes. Always check the individual product specifications for dimensions and installation requirements.

Brush Door Sweep FAQs

What is a brush door sweep?

A brush door sweep is a bottom-of-door seal made with rows of flexible brush filaments, commonly nylon, attached to a casing or retainer.

Are brush door sweeps good for uneven floors?

Brush sweeps can work well across slightly uneven floors because the flexible bristles can follow variations in the surface more easily than a rigid sealing edge.

Do brush door sweeps stop drafts?

Brush door sweeps significantly reduce airflow beneath a door, but they do not create the same solid barrier as rubber seals. For stronger draft protection, consider a rubber door sweep.

What is a nylon brush door sweep?

A nylon brush door sweep uses tightly spaced nylon filaments to create a flexible seal along the bottom of the door.

Can brush door sweeps be used on exterior doors?

Yes. Brush door sweeps can be used on exterior doors, including options with a rain drip design for applications where additional protection from water is needed.

Are brush door sweeps available for commercial doors?

Yes. Brush door bottom sweeps are available for commercial and architectural doors in different casing styles, brush heights and lengths.
