Preparing Your Doors and Doorframes For Winter: One Source Building Products

Oklahoma weather will quickly remind all residents that preparation is key to not only keeping your home toasty warm when a cold front comes through, but also to minimize heating bills by ensuring that your hard-earned heat isn't literally going out the door. Drafty doors are one of many culprits to high energy bills and chilly floors throughout a home. It is for this reason why we can turn to the how-to experts from Wikinut to share just how to tell if money is flying out the door and what you can do about it. 


Though heat can leak through the tops and edges of doors, the space just underneath doors are some of the easiest places to lose heat. First, see if any outside light is visible from inside under the door. If there is not, sometimes feeling under the door can indicate whether or not their is a leak. To make the process more sensitive, lightly wet your hand. At this point, even the faintest traces of a draft should be evident. Repeat this test around the edges of the door frame. 

In order to stop leaky drafts dead in their tracks, the use of a latex caulking is an effective means of keeping your home sealed. If old sealant is damaged, sometimes ridding your home of drafts is as easy as replacing the sealant and double checking for any drafts around door frames. Other methods of sealing up a door frame include using some form of weather stripping; whether it be foam, plastic, cork, felt, or other materials available from your local hardware store. Cut the stripping to the proper length and fasten it in place to prevent drafts.
