    Default Twin Draft Guard - A simple review



    We bought the twin draft guard because plain and simple - we have drafts under our door. I understand that it costs you money to have a home that isn't sealed as it becomes difficult to maintain the temperature. This forces the heat to have to be on more - and you're simply wasting money.

    I'd like to say a few things about this product :

    Pros :

    1- It's cheap
    2 - Despite what the commercial says - you can buy this at Bed Bath and Beyond in store
    3 - It's very easy to install
    4 - It did reduce the draft near the door


    Cons:
    1 - It really doesn't work well if you have carpets. Since it gets caught over and over - it actually deters us from wanting to go out the back door!!

    2 - We haven't noticed any significant reductions in our utilities as a result.


    So it does stop the drafts - but in our case - I don't think the draft was sapping our utility bills. I also am not sure the inconvenience of fighting with that thing every time I open the door and needing to lift the entire contraption to close the door again is worth it.

    So I know this is a sample size of 1 - but frankly speaking - I'm not sure this product is worth anything.

    I'm with you. I try to stay on top of things by making sure to seal leaks, etc. Always at Home Depot buying different sizes of weather stripping for the door jambs, garage doors, windows, etc. I even resealed the area around my air registers and recessed lights because I heard that's a big spot for air leakage. But it is definitely hard to quantify a savings. I suppose if you really let your house go and then fixed everything at once, maybe then you'd see a difference in the bill.

    Looks to me like that gadget will move and/or fall off. Door sweep is a better option. How about good ol fahion weatherstrip? Comes in a variety of sizes and styles. Visit your local hardware store.
