An astragal is a strip of moulding that covers the gap that would otherwise exist with the closing of double doors or windows. It is usually rounded and not only closes the light pathway between the members, but also is the platform for weather stripping. The astragal is usually attached to the fixed or immobile member and is usually in the form of a semi-circle of a rounded outward exposure and a flattened face toward the closing door or window.
