This is where your weatherstripping is meant to go
Weatherstripping is typically installed around the perimeter of a front door to create a seal between the door and the door frame, helping to prevent drafts, air leakage, and moisture intrusion. Here are the common areas where weatherstripping is applied on a front door:
Door Jambs: Weatherstripping is typically installed on the side jambs (vertical edges) of the door frame. It forms a seal when the door is closed, preventing air from passing through the gaps between the door and the frame. Weatherstripping for jambs often comes in the form of adhesive-backed strips or compressible foam tape.
Door Header: Weatherstripping can also be applied along the top of the door frame, known as the header. This helps create a complete seal when the door is closed, further reducing air infiltration and drafts. Options for header weatherstripping include adhesive-backed strips or bulb-style gaskets.
Door Bottom: The bottom of the front door is another common location for weatherstripping. A door sweep or door bottom seal is typically used in this area. It is attached to the bottom edge of the door and rests on the threshold or floor, sealing the gap and preventing drafts, dust, and pests from entering.
It's important to choose the right type and size of weatherstripping that suits your door and frame. There are various materials available, including rubber, foam, vinyl, or felt, each with its own sealing properties. Before installing weatherstripping, ensure that the door and frame are clean and free of debris for better adhesion and effectiveness.
Additionally, follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation. Weatherstripping should be applied in a way that allows the door to close freely without excessive resistance, ensuring a tight seal when closed but allowing for smooth operation.
By properly installing weatherstripping on your front door, you can enhance energy efficiency, reduce drafts, and improve comfort in your home by minimizing air leaks and heat/cold transfer.
