Question
I have french doors in my bedroom. My problems is that in the winter time my bedroom gets really cold and I end up sleeping in one of my other bedroom. Do you know of anything that I can do to resolve this problem? Is there anything that I can put around my doors or anything?
Thanks,
You can have weather stripping redone to help with heat loss. You may also consider replacing them with insulated glass french doors that are more efficient. If the doors are not installed properly and large air gaps exist, you might consider duct tape until it warm up. Additionally, have your local electric utility company come and do a free energy audit on the home. They may have other suggestions as well. Good luck and keep warm. Brian
