When it comes to improving home energy efficiency, most people think of windows, wall insulation, or underfloor heating. But they often forget about one of the most important elements — the entry door. Up to 15–20% of heat can be lost through an outdated, poorly sealed, or warped door.
Modern entry doors are not just about security or aesthetics — they play a crucial role in keeping your home warm and protected from the cold.
How New Entry Doors Help Preserve Heat
Today’s entry doors are engineered with thermal efficiency in mind. Here’s what makes them effective:
- Metal or composite panels with thermal breaks — prevent cold penetration
- Foam-filled core (mineral wool or polyurethane) — provides insulation
- Magnetic or multi-contour seals — block drafts and cold air
- High-quality compression systems — ensure tight closure around the frame
- Energy-efficient glass inserts (if present) — double or triple glazed
The Role of Door Hardware in Heat Retention
People often underestimate the importance of hardware — locks, hinges, seals, closers. But these components determine:
- How tightly the door closes
- Whether it will stay aligned and functional over time
- If the insulation and sealing will hold up after years of use
High-quality hardware = consistent thermal protection and long-term reliability.
Key Benefits of Replacing Old Entry Doors
- Lower heating costs — thanks to reduced heat loss
- No more drafts — no need for extra rugs or door snakes
- Comfortable entryway — even in winter, no cold air leaking in
- Better noise insulation — reduced outside noise and dust
- Improved security and curb appeal — modern doors are stronger and more stylish
What to Look for in Energy-Efficient Entry Doors
- Panel thickness — 70 mm or more
- Number of sealing contours — ideally 2 or 3
- Thermal break in the frame and panel
- Certified high-performance hardware
- Option to install closers and drop seals
- Manufacturer warranty
