And with a ton of free information out there, plus the ability to run tests and determine what works best for lawn care and landscaping, every day is an opportunity to learn and implement something new. But why should you take the time to winterproof a sliding glass door? Why winterproof your sliding glass door?

There are a few different ways you can improve your French door insulation and draught-proofing: 1. Weather-stripping We also offer colour and material options for the screening material, including beige, brown and white, with standard fiberglass or optional aluminum screen mesh. To figure out the best product for your home’s interior and exterior style, our expert installers can help you choose the best colour, style and materials for a new door and screen combination. We’ll also do the measuring to ensure a perfect fit! Energy efficiency is crucial to the modern home, and by extension the doors around it. There are several reasons for this. To start, building regulations demand that external doors can contain a certain amount of heat in your home. If your French doors open out onto a sufficiently robust conservatory, this might be less of a concern, but for most of us, it is.The most popular measure of energy efficiency in your home is the U-value. This describes how effective a material is as an insulator. The lower the value, the less heat is able to pass through a given area of material in a given amount of time. It’s typically measured in watts per metre squared. A standard double-glazed window will have a U-value of just under three. Use caulk to fill any potential gaps in the doorframe. This will keep any unwanted drafts away during the winter months. You can easily find caulk for sale at hardware stores and can be applied without a licensed professional. Apply the caulk along the outside and inside edges of the doorframe. This process typically only takes 45 minutes to an hour and can last you years when maintained properly. Use foam or plastic insulation Cut the film: Measure the dimensions of each glass pane and cut the plastic film to size, leaving a little extra on all sides. Sure, you can use insulated curtains or blinds on a sliding patio door. The pros of curtains are they provide better insulation, while blinds offer more light control. Cons include limited styles and potential maintenance issues. What is the difference between draft stoppers and door sweeps, and which one is more effective for insulating patio doors?

A typical installation of standard bi-folds will take a professional team a day, although more complicated or larger systems can take two or three. Weatherstripping is a great way to avoid drafts in a home. Weather strips are typically plastic or foam tape that is placed along the doorframe to fill gaps and add a layer of insulation.By using draft stoppers, you can significantly improve the insulation of your patio doors and create a more energy-efficient home. Draughts around the bottom of your door can typically be kept at bay using a draft excluder. These are long, cylindrical cushions which sit at the bottom of your door. If the door is a sliding or bi-fold door, then it might have been unseated from its rail, which will cause the gaps around the edges to grow. Comfort: The most important thing about insulating your outdoor door is that it makes your living space more comfortable. It makes the inside of the house more comfortable by keeping the temperature stable and cutting down on drafts.
