Drafts & Weatherstripping

When cold air enters around the door. Air may enter through a worn seal, a misaligned panel or the frame. Finding the path of the draft matters before replacing weatherstripping.

Locate the gap before replacing a seal

Cold air may enter at the moving panel, meeting stile or frame joint. Check whether the panel closes fully and whether visible weatherstripping is torn, flattened or missing. A replacement seal cannot correct a panel that sits out of alignment.

Choose the right seal profile

Pile weatherstripping, flexible gaskets and frame seals have different roles. The channel size and original profile determine what fits. Ask whether the proposed work addresses the actual air path and whether closing and locking will be checked afterward.

Moisture needs a separate explanation

Condensation on the room-side glass is different from fog trapped between panes. Water in the sill can also involve drainage or installation conditions. Keep drainage openings clear and avoid covering them with sealant while trying to stop a draft.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

Why do I feel cold air?

A worn seal, poor panel fit or frame joint can allow air through.

Does condensation mean a failed seal?

Surface moisture and fog between panes are different conditions.

Can weatherstripping be changed?

Often, but its profile must match and the panel must close properly.

Why is there water in the sill?

Check drainage, seals and surrounding installation without blocking drain holes.

Will a new seal fix a warped frame?

No. Structural problems need their own assessment.
