How to seal doors?

[nsavi]

Hello

I am looking for some suggestions for door seals for the edges. There's is cool breeze of air coming in from outside which makes the whole house colder often and as a result we have to operate the room heaters all the time.

Thank you

Hello @nsavi,

Thank you for sharing your question about sealing your door. If a cold breeze is passing through the gaps of your door, I suggest installing a strip of Raven 5m White Superior Door And Window Weather Strip on the inner perimeter of the door frame. As for the bottom portion of the door, I recommend closing the door and looking at the automatic weather seal and see if it is closing properly. A good installation will usually have the seal touching the floor giving you a good positive seal. If it is slightly lifting up, look closely at the rubber pusher and make sure that it is engaging the seal properly.

Hey @nsavi ,

Like @EricL, I would also recommend the automatic door seal system. During the rain event many of our neighbors neglected their lawn care and this led to an increase in mice in our area, their only entrance into our living spaces was through our Garage Door, and since the buggers can squeeze through the tiniest cracks, things such as draft stops didn't work. 

The automatic weather seal not only kept them out of our house entirely, we've noticed the general area around that door was warmer due to no breeze getting through. We ended up purchasing one for our Laundry door & Front Door to complete the seal, it's been a life saver

Hello @nsavi

I'm sorry to hear the seals are interfering with your door closing. In the photo where the seals are attached you've placed one of the seals on the large end of the door frame. I suggest moving it to the narrow ledge so that it does not prevent your door from closing properly. I've placed an image below to give you an idea of where you need to transfer it. Please test to make sure the door will close properly.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
