Door Rebate
Doors:
Doors, like windows, should fit snugly so that air cannot sneak in around the edges. Poor installation, years of hard use, shifting foundations and seasonal warping can often force doors out of line with their frames. If they don’t fit snugly, fix or replace the weatherstripping.
The same techniques for preparing windows applies to doors. This includes any needed repairs or adjustments, surface preparation and cleaning, and fastening the weatherstripping.
The easiest and most effective weatherstripping for this use is a good quality V-shaped vinyl type. It makes contact with the edge of the door and provides a good seal even when the door warps from season to season.
For increased protection, attach weatherstripping to the stop so that it presses against the face of the door as shown at right. There are also many types of combination metal and foam or rubber weatherstripping that are screwed to the stop. They should be adjusted regularly to conform to the changing warp of the door.
Use durable material that can withstand traffic and be flexible enough to conform to changes in the door caused by humidity and temperature. The weatherstripping should also be easy to replace. A good seal can usually be obtained with gasketed door-bottom weatherstripping that attaches to the door, or with full or partial threshold weatherstripping that is attached to the door sill.
When the weatherstripping is applied to the door itself, a very durable material is necessary. The most readily applied and effective choice is the combination type, which is simply tacked or screwed along the bottom inside surface of the door. There should be slots that allow for some adjustment of the weatherstripping.
