This video is about How To Air Seal French Doors With Backer Rod
Admittedly, this video could've been two minutes.
In this video, I'll show you how to seasonally air seal exterior French Doors using foam Backer Rod. This strategy works best for leaky doors with large leaks that are only used seasonally.
Foam Backer Rod: 1/2" x 20': amzn.to/39kBXog

Hi John! Thanks for watching and commenting, I hope you found something helpful or learned something. Being more precise and succinct in my speech is always something I'm working on and hopefully, I get better at that as I make more videos here for RU-vid. Admittedly, this video probably only need to be about 2-3 minutes long, sometimes I'm still surprised how I dragged it out to 14 minutes 😂

Nice idea, but what to do with a door you need to open daily?
@mikekrzesowiak7944
@mikekrzesowiak7944 3 года назад
Randy, that is THE question! I have other doors in my house that are in more frequent use. It pretty much it comes down to these options: *1)* inspecting and replacing and damaged weather stripping. *2)* Add additional weather stripping to the door. *3)* Pull the casing (trim) off the door and make sure the door jamb was air sealed to the home's framing. An air-permeable insulation here (like fiberglass) is not a sufficient air barrier (Someday I hope to make a video on this). *4)* Replace the door with a high-quality door that has a low air leakage rating. (The install has to be done well too) There are some European style doors that have extremely low air leakage ratings. Typically these doors are harder to find and quite a bit more expensive. One such place that carries these types of doors in 475 High Performance Building Supply (foursevenfive.com/) If anyone else has any other ideas, please comment and let us know!

The function of a door is ingress and egress; seems like this has become a window because it won't open. Why not simply install a new sweep, and new insulation into the door kerfs?

@@lindagreen9379 I bought the 1-3/4 in. x 36 in. White Vinyl Slide-On Door Bottom for Metal Doors at Home Depot, it’s not the best but it’s really easy. I had a big gap under my french doors, and this was a really easy fix not the best insulation but definitely a quick fixer

Hi Bo! JELD-Wen has some pretty short videos here on RU-vid showing how to replace different parts of the Astragal assembly including shoot bolts. I'd start by looking there. You can also find parts for their products at jeld-wenparts.com/

@mikekrzesowiak7944
@mikekrzesowiak7944 11 месяцев назад
Hi, you’re best bet in that case would be to replace or upgrade the door’s weatherstripping. And make sure that the door frame is square, plum and level and aligns properly with the door slabs, and that your doors aren’t warped.

I was used my amazon foam to seal the door, maybe not good than the back rod.
@mikekrzesowiak7944
@mikekrzesowiak7944 3 года назад
haha! I love it! If it stops the air leakage and doesn't allow air to pass through it sounds good to me. Way to find a creative solution 👍

@mikekrzesowiak7944
@mikekrzesowiak7944 3 года назад
Yes , you are correct. Using backer rod like this is really only a solution for doors that are used seasonally. If you have a door that is used frequently it’s better to replace the weather striping on the door or door jamb
