Comparing Popular Door Materials for Energy Performance

• Do you feel drafts or air movement near your closed door?

• Have your energy bills increased over the past year without a change in usage?

• Is your current door more than 15 years old?

• Does your door have single-pane glass or no insulation rating?

• Do you notice condensation or temperature differences near your entryway?

• Is your home too hot in summer or too cold in winter, especially near doors?

• Are there visible gaps between the door and frame or worn-out weatherstripping?
  If you answered “yes” to 3 or more, it’s likely time to consider a new, energy-efficient entry door.
