Under your front door, cold air creeps in and out cool your home.
In addition to being cold, a good part of the money you spend on heating escapes under the door.
Caulking your front door with a draft excluder is a very economical trick .
And, to save money, there's no need to buy a front door draft excluder.
Make it yourself in minutes with newspaper to insulate your door like a pro. Watch:
1. Measure the size of your front door.
2. Make a draft excluder that sticks out a few centimeters on each side, as in the photo.
3. To do this, roll up some newspaper, compacting it as much as possible.
4. Once it is well compacted, close your roll with tape.
5. For maximum insulation, make a second door draft stopper the same size as the first, which will be attached to the other side of your door.
6. Secure the two socks together to your door with tape, which you slide under the door to connect the two socks together so that they stay securely attached to your front door at all times.
