Better Insulation

  • Jordi Bennedict

    Winter made us realize how much heat we’re losing through the old patio door. You can actually feel a cold draft near the bottom, even when everything is closed. Rather than keep patching the seals, we decided it’s probably time for a new door. Any suggestions for good uPVC doors that provide decent insulation without being ridiculously expensive?

    • We had the exact same problem - standing near the patio door in winter felt like standing outside. Tried the temporary seal tape for a bit but it just looked messy and kept peeling off. Ended up getting a new uPVC front doors and the difference is night and day. Went with a company that specialises in these and they explained the thermal ratings properly without trying to upsell us. Installation was quick, no fuss, and the cold spot at the bottom is completely gone. Heating bills dropped too, which helped offset the cost. If comparing, ask about core insulation.
