draughty patio doors?

MacG14 · 2011-12-12 23:54:33

Hi all, I'm living in an apartment and main bedroom has a patio door to terrace. There is a serious draught coming in from all around the frame and along the sliding door closures. It is impossible to keep the room warm. Could anyone please advise on how this could be resolved? Many thnx in advance

If the door is not frequently used, you can buy draught strips in any hardware. theyre aboyt 5e and is 3metres long. its a rubber strip with an adhesive back. Carefully aling it where the sliding door meets the stationary one on the outside.

also, check all windows and doors etc. Several small draughts can cause a bigger one.
