Draughty UPVC Doors Fixed in Swindon – Stop Cold Air and Save Energy
That Cold Draught Isn’t Normal
If you can feel cold air coming through around your UPVC door, something’s not right. UPVC doors are designed to be airtight when they’re closed and locked properly.
When you’ve got draughts, you’re losing heat, wasting energy, and pushing up your heating bills. And nobody wants that, especially with energy prices the way they are.
What Causes Draughty UPVC Doors?
Worn or perished seals around the door frame. The door has dropped or warped out of alignment. The hinges are worn and the door isn’t sitting flush. The locking mechanism isn’t engaging properly. Poor installation in the first place.
Sometimes it’s just one of these. Sometimes it’s a combination. We’ll check everything and fix whatever needs doing.
How We Fix Draughty Doors
First, we’ll check the seals. If they’re worn, cracked, or perished, we’ll replace them with new, high-quality rubber seals that create a proper airtight barrier.
Next, we’ll check the door alignment. If the door has dropped, we’ll adjust the hinges to bring it back into the correct position. If the hinges themselves are worn, we’ll replace them.
Finally, we’ll check the locking mechanism. If the multi-point lock isn’t engaging properly, the door won’t seal tight. We’ll adjust or replace the lock as needed.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Draughty Door
You’re wasting money every day that draught is there. Your heating system is working harder to compensate for the cold air coming in, and that’s pushing up your bills.
Draughts also let moisture in, which can lead to condensation, damp, and mould around the door frame. And if the door isn’t sealing properly, you’re losing the soundproofing benefits that a UPVC door should give you.
