This is a fantastic idea, I just followed your instructions and stopped an icy cold draft from coming into my living room. I used a pool noodle instead of pipe wrap, which I got at the Dollar Store last summer for $1. Thanks again for helping to keep me warm!
Glad this works for you. Yes, a pool noodle is a great item, too. Pipe wrap is far more common in Alaska than pool noodles! :)
Thanks for the pool noodle idea. The cost of pipe wrap has really shot UP...!
Does it save energy cost?
This got rid of the draft at the bottom rail of my sliding glass door. I never thought to do something like this. Thanks!
Glad this works for you. Thanks for sharing your success.
that's a great tip. I have two sliding glass doors and I have pipe wrap. I'm going to do this when I get home.
+Andrew Attard
It works great for me. Let me know how it works for you.
Good idea, about the sliding doors, thank you AG!
This is exactly what I was thinking about doing and you made my idea easier. Thanks Alaskan Granny
Glad your idea is easier. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Last summer I got a pool noodle from the dollar store for this purpose. They were on sale 2/$1. No more drafty sliding door.
Thank you!!! What a simple solution, I'm glad you shared!
You are welcome. Glad you find my video helpful.
thanks i'm going to Lowes in the morning this can be used for my sliding doors as well as windows
Let me know how this works for you. Say warm!
actually the foam is working fine I got a lil crafty with it I siliconed down a 3 foot piece in the track just as your video showed then I siliconed a 41 inch piece up the side that opens to the bottom of the handle I used silicone because I can just peel it off when the season change again plus because I found 10 ounce tubes of GE IRONGRIP SILICONE ADHESIVE for like $1.50 per tube the foam was like $2 for a 6 foot piece at Lowes you saved me through the winter i'm in Florida it may get to the 20's I trusted your word immediately because after all you are in Alaska
@@jeffwatson151 What a clever idea, and frugal! Thanks for sharing what worked for you, and helping to educate us on how to stay warm and cozy, no matter where we live.
Thanks Granny!!
Stay warm!
Could you put this on the sides vertically as well? I’m trying to winterize my sliding glass door, but I still want to be able to open it. Also, I rent, so I’m not trying to spend too much or do something permanent. Thank you!
I found that placing it at the bottom is where the air is actually leaking in. Try this at the bottom, and then check to see if air is actually leaking on the sides. If so, I would add a thermal curtain over the entire window. They are not that spendy, considering the amount of heat loss through a window. Check out something like this. amzn.to/2nQilnI If there are existing curtains, you could even add a long bungee cord across the top inside the curtain rod, and hook it to that. I have several sliders, and still use them all year. In fact, this morning, I tried to open one, and the screen was frozen in the track. Made me laugh.
A long rubber strip taped to one door which overlaps the other doors. Maybe an old bike tire inner tube.
I am so disappointed in myself for not thinking of this, since I use those pipe insulators and pool noodles for everything. Example: between car seats to stop losing things. On my bike rack as a cushion.
Works great! Thank you!
Great to hear!
Does this create moisture or condensation? Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the video. We can easily apply this to sliding windows bottom as well. But how about the vertical gaps between them? Do you have any tips for this part too? We have two old up/side sliding window outside and two left/right sliding windows inside, and really worried for winter time since there is draft even in nice weather and makes our lovely flat very cold. Please some tips.
I would try adding insulating curtains. They are inexpensive, and really work. They have a rubbery backing and also work as black out curtains. You can hang them in front of shades or blinds if you have those. Here is a link to the kind I use. They come in lots of colors and sizes. amzn.to/2csSrNp Thanks for watching and I hope this helps.

I used weather stripping and a clear sealing tape, which I take off in the summer.
Thanks Granny ;)
Stay warm!
@@AlaskaGranny I will now, I got new patio doors installed this September but couldn't figure out why it was so chilly then notice air was coming from the bottom so I put a towel and that worked but when I saw your pipe wrap idea I went and got some today works perfectly seeing that I often open the door Thanks again Alaska Granny x
will it also help if you put the pipe wrap on the outside part of the sliding glass door on the right hand side door?
+Hike with Mike
At this location, that would blow away in about 1 minute. That is a good suggestion. Thanks for sharing.
plus this will stop you from opening the door on the other side haha but good thinking
I did this last year and also added a sheet of shrink wrap around he whole patio door.
Shrink wrap is a great idea, if you don't care to open your patio door. Thanks for sharing your tip.
Thank you Granny! :)
You are welcome.
perfect and thank you
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Thank you
You are welcome.
Do you think this would block bugs like ants and spiders from getting inside via sliding balcony doors? Having problems with that
Here is a video I made about natural solutions to keep ants outside. ua-cam.com/video/MOTQVwkgnqQ/v-deo.html
What are the dimensions of the pipe wrap that you used?
I think pipe wrap is sized according to the hole in the middle, that is the size of the pipe it fits around. I measured mine, and I think the hole is 1 inch, and it is about 2 inches in diameter. Look for the wrap that seems dense, not very flexible. It is easy to cut with a serrated knife, and is cheap. We already are below freezing, and the ponds are frozen solid. Glad I have mine to use again!
So this is what Sarah Palin has been up to
