Do You Feel Cold Air Coming Through The Bottom Of Your Sliding Patio Door?

Common Issues for Drafty Sliding Patio Doors

Drafty sliding patio doors are a very common problem, especially if you’ve had your door for a while.  Air drafts, whether cold or hot result in energy efficiency issues and higher costs to regulate the temperature.

Here are some typical reasons for sliding door air drafts:

  • Bad Insulation

    Often the insulation around the patio door whether foam or construction insulation isn’t completely sealed or sometimes isn’t present on either the sides or top of the balcony door.

  • Gaps in Sliding Door Seal

    A common draft issue is that air comes in between the gaps where the door closes. This can be fixed by either tightening those gaps or sealing those gaps so that air doesn’t come through.

  • Weather Stripping

    This is a standard maintenance issue with balcony and patio sliding doors. Often the weather stripping and/or compression strips are worn or missing and is now allowing cold or warm air to seep in to the house!

How do you make a homemade draft stopper?

Elevate your home’s energy efficiency with a custom-made draft stopper for your Galron Sliding Door. Begin by selecting a durable material like weather-resistant fabric or insulating foam, ensuring it complements your door’s dimensions. Craft a neatly seamed cover, then incorporate a sealed pocket at the bottom to house a weighted element, such as rice or sand.

Enhance usability by adding a handle or loop, making it easy to position or remove the draft stopper as needed. Installing this DIY solution not only prevents cold drafts but also optimizes your Galron sliding door’s energy efficiency, reducing costs and maintaining a comfortable living space.

In the realm of home improvement, simple yet effective solutions like a homemade draft stopper showcase the fusion of practicality and ingenuity. Addressing concerns related to doors, windows, and floor drafts, this DIY approach utilizes readily available materials and basic hardware, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and personalized home care.
