SPOTLIGHT ON TRANSFORMATION: SEAL THE DEAL: HOW TO WEATHERSTRIP YOUR DOOR LIKE A PRO (GUIDE)

Today, we are thrilled to spotlight Robert, a dedicated DIY enthusiast and writer who recently completed an essential project of weatherstripping his door. With the common issue of drafts and escalating energy bills, Robert took it upon himself to tackle this project head-on.

He started by selecting a high-quality, silicone-based weatherstrip known for its durability and resilience against various weather conditions. Robert meticulously prepared the door frame, removing debris, dust, and remnants of old weatherstripping to ensure a clean surface for better adhesion.

With careful precision, Robert measured and cut the weatherstrip, paying close attention to maintaining slight overages to compensate for any shrinkage. He firmly applied the weatherstrip along the door frame, using additional tacks in strategic areas to secure it.

After installation, Robert tested the seal using the candle test, moving a lit candle along the door's perimeter to check for air leaks. This method proved the effectiveness of his installation, showing no signs of drafts.

The result was a significantly warmer and more energy-efficient home, proving that even minor improvements can substantially impact comfort and cost savings. Robert’s proactive approach and successful project are a fantastic example for all DIYers looking to enhance their home’s functionality and efficiency.
