When it comes to cutting down on drafts and reducing energy loss, applying weatherstrip to a door can be just as important as weatherstripping a window. When a door is closed, expensively heated or cooled air can seep out between the door and its jambs and top, and, even more significantly, beneath the door's bottom edge. In fact, a narrow 1/4-inch gap beneath a conventional entry door is equal to having a 3-inch-square hole in your door. You can receive a significant payback in both comfort and energy savings by sealing these gaps.
In this section, you will find do-it-yourself information for buying, installing, and maintaining weatherstripping materials for doors. For more about weatherstripping, see Window Weatherstripping. |
