This patio door comes with an inbuilt locking mechanism for security. It also comes with bug flaps to stop insects from entering your home.
Sealing the Frame
Patio door frames come in a wide range of styles and materials to suit your tastes and preferences. Choose from PVC or hybrid frames (PVC coated with aluminum) to get a sturdy and energy efficient option. Or, choose aluminum frames that are fully welded for an elegant, modern look. Frames are offered in a variety of finishes and colors to match your decor.
The frame is the primary structure that holds up your new patio door, and is crucial to the functionality and durability of your patio doors. The frame is designed to create an airtight seal between the jamb and door, preventing drafts or water infiltration. It also protects the stored items from moisture.
As a result, the frame needs to be well-maintained and sealed in order to prevent damage, improve insulation, and ensure the smooth closing and opening. Caulk used to fill in any gaps is a quick and effective method to maintain the frame of your patio door, and it is an easy DIY job that can be completed without the assistance of a licensed professional.
Remove any weatherstripping that is a bit old around the doorframe. After removing the weatherstripping, scrub the area thoroughly to remove any remaining adhesive. When the surface is free of any obstructions, carefully measure the length and width of your doorframe to determine the correct size of the new weatherstripping. Make sure you record these measurements accurately, as incorrect dimensions may result in a poorly-fitting seal.
Start by laying the new weatherstrip across the top jamb of your door frame. Press it down until you have an enveloping seal against the wood of the frame and then work your way along the sides, smoothing any rough edges or areas that aren't quite flush.
After the bottom of the jamb has been covered, you can proceed with the rest of your installation. Make sure to check the weatherstripping on a regular basis to make sure it is in good condition and working correctly. If necessary, apply caulk if necessary. It's a simple job that will take approximately an hour to complete dependent on the condition of your patio door's existing weatherstripping.
Sealing the Jamb
The jamb for the door is the vertical frame that the door is closed. It also provides structural support. It also helps to seal gaps between the frame and the sill pan from both air infiltration and moisture.
Most patio doors hinge and not sliding, which means there's a metal strike plate at the bottom of the door jamb to latch to the door sash when closed. The hardware used to lock the door pull -the deadbolt and knob -- sits in a grove or hole in the strike plate.
To replace the factory weatherstripping on the jamb, header and track leaves, lower your door first, then lift it up (you may need help, as this is a big task). Then, use a crowbar to take off the remaining pieces of weather stripping. Then, clean the surface of the jamb and the sill pan with an abrasive cloth or a mild cleaning solution like rubbing alcohol to get rid of any remaining adhesive residue.
There are many different types of header, track leaf and jamb weatherstripping to choose from. Finding a replacement sealed double glazing units that will match your existing installation shouldn't be difficult. You'll need to choose the product that's thick enough to stop moisture leakage but flexible enough to fit a wide range of openings and frame depths.
Tubular rubber or vinyl is an effective choice for small gaps, however, if you require something more robust foam is the best option. If the gap is more than 6 inches in width it is recommended to use a thicker polyethylene material like EPDM.
Once you've determined the type of weatherstripping needed to be installed, gather the following materials to install your new product:
650 WB Liquid Adhesive or ClearBond Liquid Adhesive
When used correctly, these products will produce a tight weather barrier that prevents drafts and guards against water leaks. Make sure you select the right product for your climate, and the type of frame. Clean the opening by using bristles of wire and rub ethanol before applying the flashing. This will ensure that the substrate is free of dust and dry. When the jamb and sill are clear, use a utility blade to cut a length of Aluma Flash (tm) flashing.
Sealing the Bottom Threshold
If you have a doorway that has an exterior threshold, it's important to seal the gap underneath it to keep cold and freezing air from entering your home. Not only sealing the threshold will prevent drafts from entering, but it will also shield your flooring from damage caused by moisture and pests. This is a straightforward task that can be accomplished in just a few hours.
Before beginning the process of sealing your threshold, you'll need to wipe down the area and make sure there is no dirt or debris. Then, you'll need to make sure the weather is clean and dry to work in. Masking tape can be used to protect the threshold while you are working.
There are several ways to seal the bottom threshold of your patio door depending on the design and the material. If your threshold is constructed out of uPVC you'll need use a caulking solution that is compatible with the material, such as DOWSIL Neutral Silicone. If your threshold is made of wood on the other hand, you will need to select a caulking product that is compatible with this material, too.
It is important to ensure that the seal is perfect regardless of the method you use. To do this, you'll have to be extremely precise and ensure that the caulking isn't too thick or thin. Also, be sure not to caulk the railings, since it could affect the door's ability.
You can use expanding foam to fill in the space when the threshold gap is larger than the caulking capacity. This foam will expand as it cures, creating a tight seal. It is important to follow the guidelines that come with the type of expanding foam that you are using. Some can be dangerous when not properly used Make sure you study the manufacturer's guidelines thoroughly.
Sealing the Glass
If your patio door is made of dual-pane glass it has a rubbery seal that wraps around the edge of the insulated glass. The glazing boot is what creates a seal between glass and metal frame. If your glazing boots are worn or leaky, they may need to replaced.
A lot of patio doors are fitted with Low-E Glass. This glass has an extremely thin, microscopically-coated coating that helps reduce the amount of UV and infrared radiation that gets into your home. The Low-E glass can help keep your home cooler during the summer and warmer in the winter, saving energy.
If your patio doors are equipped with Low-E glass, the window gasket repair insulation kit you can purchase at the local hardware store should aid in improving their performance. It is easy to install a new insulation kit. It takes only about a couple of minutes. You can even put one of these kits for a garage door.
