Gap at bottom of patio door.
The sweep is a brushy or rubberized strip attached to the bottom of the door designed to close any gaps between the door and the sill.
This gap allows quite alot of heat to escape and despite my cavity walls being insulated the temperate drops quite significantly a few hours after the central heating goes off.
The rollers at the top can also wear down lowering the bottom of the door so that it rubs on the track.
Place nails about every 5 inches.
Nail it to one of the doors using small wood nails so that it overlaps the other door by about one half inch covering the gap.
The bottom astragal bolt results in a break in the door sweep weatherstripping and the astragal lip.
This means that the door is difficult to lock and there is quite a large gap at the bottom which i can see daylight through.
Cover the nail heads with wood putty and sand them smooth.
If you ve noticed a large or small gap on the bottom.
