The ability of your doors and windows to seal the opening and to prevent the exchange of air will define the energy-efficiency of your entire building to a large extent. Doors that fail to provide adequate insulation will let out the air that you have heated or cooled using expensive energy and will generate costs in other ways, too, so here is why investing into new doors can save you a lot of money:
- An energy barrier that prevents air exchange – modern doors are made from energy-efficient materials, such as steel or fiberglass, and they also feature frames with mechanisms that do not let air slip out from your building or slip in from outside. These features help maintain the temperature in your building stable, thus minimizing the time that you need to run your heaters or your air conditioner to have thermal comfort;
- Efficient weatherproofing – your entrance doors are permanently exposed to the elements, including not only rain, snow and wind, but the UV rays coming from the sun as well. Modern doors from companies like DMD Window & Door in Denver are made from materials that resist the stress caused by the weather, including solar rays that act insidiously and that only the best materials can stand up to.
