I get too much heat from 4 skylights during the summer and want to find a material that will block the heat and somehow fit up into the surround around the skylight.

    bead of calk along the bottom of the threashold (after I put a new 2x6 bottom plate on) and around the entire frame where the brickmoulding would contact. I then sealed the door in, shimmed it out to level, and filled the void with a special expanding foam for windows and doors (won't overexpand).Considering the old door had no caulk/foam/sealing of any kind, this one is much more air tight. It's already made a difference in the temp of that portion of the house.

  • Decide ahead of time if you want the drapes to puddle or  stop just short of the floor.
