    The gap is there for air circulation, if you close it off you wouldn't have great circulation in those rooms air or heat.

    To many of you not in the HVAC industry and lacking the knowledge on why there is a gap at the bottom of your doors. The reason there is a gap is for air flow movement throughout your house. Go to any office building or school and you’ll find two different styles of air registers in the ceiling, one is for supply air into the room and the other is for sucking or returning the air out back to the air conditioning unit to get cooled or heated again. Now look in your home bedrooms and you’ll only see one air register or more depending on the size of the space, notice you only have air being supplied into the room, well where is the return grill, there isn’t one, so the only way to get air out of the space is through the gap at the bottom of the door. We all have the one or two big grills somewhere in your home, this is the return air being sent back to your AC unit. By blocking the bottom of the door you are essentially starving your AC unit of air and it will try to recover this air from other places. This also reduces the efficiency of your AC unit and your rooms don’t feel comfortable and stale. What you are doing is slowing down the amount of air into that space or room, and just like anything else the air will be pushed to another space because of path of least resistance. Remember you can’t put air into a space unless you can take air out of the space. Now if this was a door leading outside your home then absolutely you would want to block this gap however that was not the case in this video. Hope this makes sense for you all. Have a blessed day.

      This is more of an indoor solution. It will keep out light and keep air from freely circulating under the door. But it’s not going to work for an exterior door. For those, you would want a threshold with a rubber sweep. Unfortunately, I don’t have a video for that yet. I will need to do one of those.

      The part screwed into the back of the door on the bottom could be used for both interior and exterior. However… if you have this large of a gap on an exterior door you would be better situated to add a threshold screwed to the ground and also a sweep attached directly to the bottom of the door.

    • @SkyManagement
      @SkyManagement  3 роки тому +3

      If you have a 3-4 inch gap… sounds like it’s time to get a new door or add a 2x4 to the bottom of the door as it is about 3 and a half inches wide.
      Remove door and screw a 2x4 to the bottom and re hang. Then if there is still a small gap this would still work. If it really is 3.25 gap you would need to shave down wood to fit.
      If this is in an rv or room without a return air duct it may be that high for a reason (air flow)
