How to prevent a winter draft coming in?

stuff some old socks with rags (or cut up teeshirts) and lay along the bottom of the door

Hardware stores make strips you can screw on to bottom of the door. follow instructions on package to install. Can be used on metal or wood doors. You can also make a draft stopper out of a piece of material. Measure the width of your door and cut material an inch or two wider than the door and about 5" wide. An old pair of jeans works great. Use the front or back of the leg and cut your material eliminating the seam on each side. Sew into a tube closing one end. Fill with clay kitty litter. Sew the other end shut. You will have a sturdy flexible draft stopper to put on the floor against the door.

Draft dodgers work great. The slip under door

Hello there, Make a sausage of fabric and stuff with old tights. or Buy Draught Strip.

Tubes of cloth (draft dodgers) sewn out of old sturdy cloth and filled w/ rice or clean sand have worked great for me for years . Seem to fit tighter than draft strips you buy and attach to doors , but don't forget to put them back w/ a little tap of your foot !

Pool noodles make really good door covers to stop drafts, get what ever material you want to use, and sew the edges around the pool noodles leaving a gap big enough to slide it under the door but make sure the Pool noodles are flush to the sides of the door.

Linda: Here are some great ideas!

I just fold old towels to make a draft blocker. I fold the towel so it looks like a long snake and set it down in front of the bottom of the door.

I made my client one of those under the door draft stoppers using 2 pieces of that foam pipe insulation I got at the hardware store, leaving enough room on each side to put the foam in and a space the width of the door between the 2 pockets. Worked great.

Hello Linda,

A heavy Curtain or Blanket a Dog draught excluder or add a draught bar to your door or all three ideas. Best wishes

There are inexpensive door sweeps that you can attach to the bottoms of doors. You can also get those long fabric covered sausage looking draft stoppers that you tuck up against the door.

There are door sweeps that work well at that threshold, you can make them or quite inexpensive to buy.
