Weatherstripping, or attaching seals around an entryway door to fill in the gaps, is essential to maintaining the energy efficiency of your home in the winter (keeping the chilly air out) and in the summer (keeping the air conditioning in). Consider that even a tiny 1/8-inch gap around a typical entryway door is equivalent to having a 5 ½-inch-diameter hole on an outside wall. Closing that gap can go a long way in lowering your energy bill.
Shopping List for How to Weatherstrip a Wood Door:
- Mechanical weather stripping, for sealing door in opening
- Flexible, push-in weather stripping, for sealing head and side jambs
- Tung oil, used to seal routed groove
Tools for How to Weatherstrip a Wood Door:
- Hammer, used to remove and replace the hinge pins
