Interior.
-
Exterior.
-
Intermediate.
-
GLAS.
Correct Answer
A. Exterior.Explanation
The correct answer is "Exterior." Blade seals are typically used in exterior doors to provide a tight seal against air and water infiltration. These seals are designed to prevent drafts, noise, and moisture from entering the building. In contrast, interior doors do not usually require blade seals as they are not exposed to outdoor elements. Intermediate doors may or may not have blade seals depending on their location and purpose. GLAS doors are not commonly used, so it is unlikely that they would have blade seals.Rate this question:
