Door Draughts & Weather Seals — what to consider

A useful inspection looks around the whole perimeter. Compression seals need the door to meet them evenly, while the threshold needs to deal with both air and water without obstructing operation.

Depending on the cause, the solution may be adjustment, new seals, threshold work, frame repair or replacement of the door set.

Hidden Door Applications

Hidden doors can belong inside or outside a building.

A concealed door is not limited to an interior feature wall. The idea can be explored for rooms, corridors, wall panelling, storage, service access and selected external openings where the construction, weather protection, security and surrounding finish allow it.

Measurements should describe the actual opening and surrounding conditions, not just the visible leaf, because frame and floor details can change the required size.
