Gap under front door

hairyslug · 2018-11-17 18:30:09

If you look at the attachment you'll a metal "something"under our door. This is letting a lot of cold air in along with insects. It runs the length of the doorway and glass panels to either side. Can this be covered of filled with something that's not to ugly.

That's just a trim.

You can lift it up.

And use airtight tape to close out the gaps then put in another cleaner trim.even some timber Bead to finish.

Make sure your door has draft excluder on the bottom and draft strip tape around the side.

The trim wouldn't be the source of the draft it's the door that's behind it.
