        "text": "Common materials for sliding patio door weatherproofing include weatherstripping made from foam, rubber, vinyl, or felt, which seals gaps around the door frame when closed. Caulk, typically silicone or acrylic latex, is used to seal stationary gaps between the door frame and the wall. Door sweeps are installed at the bottom of the door to block drafts and pests. Additionally, sometimes new glazing or re-glazing of glass panes might be necessary if the original seals around the glass have failed, particularly relevant in coastal areas prone to moisture.",
