By
consulting the thermal image, we notice
that exterior doors can be a major source
of cold air infiltration in the winter months.
The dark colours at the bottom and on the
side of the door represent the cold air
that is infiltrating your house.
There
are three (3) ways to reduce heat loss or
air infiltration through your doors:
• Install
a threshold
• Install door sweep
• Make sure door is airtight from top
to bottom
Each of
these steps will help you block incoming
drafts. Consider sealing doors that lead
into unheated rooms such as the garage or
a walk-in cooler. Don't paint over weatherstripping
products because they will loose their elasticity. |
