...Just to one up Val. :)

Seriously though. We have a good 1/2" gap between our back door & the threshold. There is a storm door on the outside too, however you can see light under it. I've always had a "draft stopper" there to take care of this, but I picked up a proper door sweep at Lowes, it took <5 mins to install & it makes a world of difference. Comparing the before & after, there was literally a breeze coming through that the "draft stopper" did not stop. I'm going to be very interested to see what kind of difference this will make to our gas bill. Surely $10 worth.

Oh and I love this forum, sorry I don't post much.

Cool! I need one of these for our basement door, seriously. Our basement is 32* if that. I have clothes stuffed under the crack right now. The door opens into our bedroom!

I installed one of those on our basement door after our first winter in our old house. What a difference! Before I installed it, we couldn't walk down that hallway without freezing. I also did the foam tape stuff all around the edges (it was an interior door leading to an unfinished basement). It really helped a ton with our comfort, and undoubtedly the heating bill as well, since the thermostat was in the hall across from the basement door.

:p :lol:

I needed to do that the ENTIRE time we lived at my grandmas house (like over 3 years)... I never did... but in that house it was sort of a lost cause to try to save on gas... lol... I think it would have helped a little bit though. At least enough to make it so we didn't have to wear slippers to bed.

I need one for our door. Only it's the AC not the gas for us.

Good for oyu, im sure it will help. We need one that goes all along the door, it leaks cold air in all over.
