Choosing Energy Efficient Doors
With energy prices going up it stands to reason that we need to save on energy, and there’s no better way to do that than to start with doors and windows. Our emphasis here of course is on doors, because that’s what we sell, and if you choose an energy efficient door, you will start to see savings. Not only will you save on energy costs you’ll also reduce your carbon footprint, and that has to be a good thing - right?
Energy efficiency for insulation and draught exclusion.
Energy efficiency doors can include insulation and draught proofing to stop heat escaping. Most new external and internal doors will contain insulation within them because they are duty bound to comply with building regulations. This is good news, and as well as insulation and draught proofing they can also be improved even more with draught proof strips that are used around the letterbox seals.
Once your doors are worn out, replace them as soon as possible with energy efficient doors.
The best time to replace your doors with more energy efficient ones is around the time they appear damaged and old, because it’s now that you’ll start to notice how inefficient they are when it comes to conserving energy. Older doors won’t have the right materials that are made to stop draughts and insulate your home, and will cost you more in energy as heat is lost.
When older worn and damaged doors are still in use they won’t be properly insulated and this will cause air to leak causing cold drafts. No matter how much you heat up the room it will still seem cold, you crank the heating up - and er…nada. Cold drafts will render whatever heating system you have useless. By replacing them you’re preparing for a potentially harsh winter both economically and environmentally.
