How do you insulate a door? Let me know here!

I'm closing the unused wide side entrance of my house and was instructed by the wood and materials store guys to use: Polystyrene foam, stone wool and an OBS board fixated with wooden beams. It's already massive, but this video showed me that I probably should isolate around the door as well.

I enjoy the gentle kind way you speak. I've come back to this video several times now to insulate under trim. Thank you!

This is one of the best things I’ve ever done for my old house. It was easy to pull up the trim, uncovering a gap of up to 3/4” in places. Filling it was messy but easy and soon enough I got the hang of it. Immediately felt the difference and now this end of the house isn’t nearly as cold as it was. Looking forward to seeing my heating bill next month!

If you know you may be using your foam several times you can cut the straw down and get a plastic drinking straw of the same size. This way the part you need to clean will be smaller and easier to manage

The painter's tape before using foam was a great tip, I wish I'd seen this video before I used spray foam! I use my dremel multi-max to trim the foam once it's cured, get a nice flat surface with little effort.

Good video as always thanks! I too love spray foam but, like you said, cover everything you don't want foam on... including yourself! My tip is modify the straw! I just heat it with a heat gun or lighter then just smash it so the last couple inches are skinny and will fit much deeper into any crack or crevice!

I used spray foam for the first time in the basement of a house I was renting, I got it all over my brand new $900 patagonia parka! I didn’t think anything could be legitimately impossible to remove. It ruined my beautiful black coat all on the chest and back of the lower arms. I tried literally everything from pure acetone to dry cleaners to reading white papers from 3M to see if there was some solvent that’d break it down. Nope. I ended up gently sanding then using black dye with a paint brush. Still looks like garbage and makes me want to cry

@gravelcreekfarms3850 6 лет назад
Nice. I like the way the old door looks (even if it’s an interior door) unless you spend a ton of money you won’t find a new replacement that has the same character. Just a tip a modified urethane sealant like tremco works great for sealing the exterior trim work it remains flexible and the adhesive properties are awesome. It’s all we used back when I did industrial metal roofing and siding. Did allot of work on 100+ year old factories where you had to seal between a brick surface and flashings

You can easily clean the straw/trigger with a can of brake cleaner. Wear eye protection and flush the tube with brake cleaner; it dissolves any remaining foam.

@hotrodroxie
@hotrodroxie 3 года назад
Try tracing it out I. A thin pc of foam (think: craft foam sheets, or scraps of that translucent ‘foam’ sheeting roll from packaging fragile items- if at least doubled up. Exterior outlets and switches and things usually come with a foam [like craft foam sheets] that are used as a barrier. That’s about the best you can do. I’d search for a heavy mil craft foam at your local store, it’s the same thing & uber cheap

My issue is that I have a slight dip in the edge of the door that meets the door jamb about 1.5 foot below the lock. So even if I put the weather strip[, it bends along that dip, and the gap still remains. The gap is so much that at day time, I can see outside through the gap. I think I need somekind of filler, to straighten the edge, that will not fall off. Then put the sponge weather strip over the edge. Any suggestion as to what material to use. Some kind of epoxy or something. I imagin the process would be something similar to fixing a chipped bathroom sink edge....

@gardenfork
@gardenfork 6 лет назад
I think it’s called a Japanese crowbar, not sure. I got it at a flea market, one of those guys selling a table full of inexpensive tools. The bucket boss is good, but stuff gets lost in the bottom of it. But better than losing stuff completely, thx!

For sure pulling the trim and sealing things up helps a lot. Not so much as a door leak as it is air infiltration/exflitration. My personal favorite door insulator for doors that are really "bent" or frame twisted, is the screw down fabric covered foam aluminum door seal kit. There easy to find, just look for the most expensive one. Great filler when your up against a rock & a hard place when trying to fill a crack in any weather... IS them disposable bags from the store, you want paper or plastic? yeah, them kind WOOF guys... go get the ball
