Draughts around outside doors is a common problem in many, particularly older properties
Example 1
In this property there are draughts around the bottom and sides of the door, and even a vertical split in the wooden inset panel which was not visible with out the thermal imaging camera.
Potential solutions in this case include:
- Applying sealant to the split door panel
- Installing draught stripping around the door seal
- Buying a draught-excluder cushion/snake to fit along the bottom of the door
- Fitting a thick curtain in front of the door
Example 2
In this example draughts are occurring around the top of the door and through the letterbox
Solutions in this case include:
- A letter box draught excluder
- Draught-stripping around the top of the door
- Installing a curtain in front of the door
