What should I do if the entrance door leaks?

The choice of entrance door is very important. If the later selection is not good or the installation is not firm, there will be air leakage from the crack of the door. Summer is fine, but in winter, if there is a gap that will make the home colder, what should I do if I encounter air leakage at the door?

1. Why does the entrance door leak air?

1. If the selected wooden door material is not good, this problem will not exist at the beginning of installation. However, if the wooden door is deformed, the gap between the door and the door will become larger, and air leakage will occur later.

2. Installing the entrance door requires a sealing strip, but if the sealing strip ages in the later period, it will also lead to air leakage at the door.

3. When installing the outdoor door, be sure to pay attention to the distance between the door frame and the wall. If the distance is not right, or considering the large gap, but the gap is not blocked with glue, the sealing effect will be poor after a long time, and air leakage will occur. If the entrance door faces the corridor, you will feel more wind.

Sometimes it is because of air leakage at the bottom of the door, especially in some old-fashioned houses. Because of its poor door material, some are aluminum alloy doors or iron gates, so in winter, cold air will pour in from the bottom of the door.

Second, is there any good solution?

1. If it is caused by the quality problem of the door, you can consider replacing a wooden door and pay attention to the material of the door. It is best to choose a security door.

2. If there is no problem with the quality of the door, but the sealing strip is aging, it is necessary to rearrange the sealing strip and re-inject sealant between the door frame and the wall to make the sealing effect better and block the external seam, then there will be no air leakage problem.

3. For some old houses, if there is air leakage at the bottom of the door, you can buy sealing strips directly in the market and stick them around the door. When closing the door, the gap will become smaller, which can solve the trouble of air leakage.

Bian Xiao concluded: If there is air leakage in the crack of the door, it is best to seal it, and at the same time, it is best to install the door in one step, so as to avoid the influx of cold air and feel cold sitting in the living room in winter.
