Should I Choose Between a Door Draft Stopper or Plastic Kit?

We’re often asked about window insulation, as we know quite a lot about home maintenance. These questions seem to peak during the colder months when people are worried about the difference in temperature between the outside of their home and inside. Certainly, air conditioning is very important in the summer, especially in the tropics, but it seems that in the winter we are very concerned about our creature comforts, undoubtedly something to do with the better frame of mind that we seem to be in, during the summer.

When people ask us about window insulation, they normally want to know how easy or cost effective it would be to block those pesky drafts, that can be so annoying. They wonder whether they should buy one of those plastic insulation kits or put in place some door draft stoppers, which appear to be a lot easier.

Door draft stoppers are not only useful for blocking drafts around your entry and exit doors, but can also be first class when it comes to treating your Windows as well. While we only have two or three doors to worry about in a typical home, we can have 20 or 30 windows, each of which is capable of creating a problem as well!

You certainly would consider the proper insulation of your home, if you realized that you could save between 25 and 30% of the cost of your cooling or heating expenses by keeping the drafts at bay. You will see your monthly utility bill go down substantially by saving on your heating and cooling costs.

There is nothing worse than sitting down to watch a movie and feeling a draft coming from somewhere. You can especially notice this on a windy day and this means that you have a significant problem. Don’t forget how expensive energy is and how we should not be wasting it at all.

If you are thinking about getting a plastic window insulation kit, remember that once fitted, you will not be able to easily open your windows once the spring rolls around. Many people love to look forward to that time and to have a nice breeze through the home. These plastic kits are not very flexible.

A door draft stopper is the best solution from both a cost point of view of and for accessibility. If you fit the door draft stopper on all your doors and windows, they can be easily moved if you need to open the windows, during beautiful spring weather, for example.

Door draft stoppers are made available with quantity discounts in many cases, allowing you to consider them as a solution around all of your doors and windows. As they are fitted with ground corn cob, the best insulator on the market, the durable polypropylene products are the first choice for many.
