To describe the situation a bit more:

I have an outdoor window with a metal frame. There is about a 10-15cm gap along the bottom of it. Tiled floor. The gap is not even height, so it's literally about 10-11cm on one side and it widens to about 15-16 cm towards the other side. The floor is tiled.

I need to fill this gap with something that will prevent water/dust from flowing from one side to the other (not to worry: each side has a drain) and I was thinking to use some kind of rubber and cut it to size. But given its somewhat un-even height, I thought there might be a better material. Something easy to work with. Maybe something originally soft and it hardens when exposed to air and maintains waterproof quality long term?

Brick (or structural tile) and mortar. Use more mortar on the low side to even things up. If you want "flexible" use the brick and mortar to make a smaller, even gap you can caulk.

What about epifoam packaging? I reuse it when I find it used for larger items like furniture, tv or computers It can be cut to shape, stable outdoors and any gaps can be sealed with latex caulking
