Home Weatherization
Weather stripping can help seal air leaks in areas of your home, such as doors, windows and attic access points. If you decide to take on an entire home sealing project, identify all the air leaks in your home, including those in unseen holes or pathways in your plumbing, wiring and HVAC system.
Weather Stripping Your Doors
Doors require two different kinds of weather stripping: door sweeps for the bottom and self-adhesive foam for the top and sides.
Step 1 - Installing Self-Adhesive Foam
Clean the stop moulding with soapy water and allow it to dry completely.
Step 2
Cut self-adhesive foam to fit each side and the top of the door.
Step 3
Peel the back from the foam and press it into the inside of the stop moulding.
Step 4 - Installing a Door Sweep
Cut the sweep to fit the door.
Step 5
With the door closed, screw the sweep to the door so that its bottom is in contact with the floor.
