Usually we buy home as is and we have 2 options use as is or try to improve.
I wander if anybody has any major insulation success with modest investment.
I have few problems like single glazed aluminium windows that are major heat loss/gain and timber doors that bow away from insulation foam strip.
For a year foam did its job an was OK, now looks that lock holds that door in the middle, but top and bottom seems to have developed tiny gaps, which are caused by foam pushing doors back – just my opinion and I might be wrong.
I wander what would be the best way to bend the doors the other way?
I can make small attachment holding top and bottom of the door and small screw pushing against the middle.
I also thought about 2 extra locks on top and bottom of the doors, but this might make pain to use and some eyebrows going up, wandering “what we are trying to protect with 3 locks”?
Or some kind of metal angle attached to the door to give it more strength, but how to hide it?
Not sure if we have “Special insulation thread for existing buildings”, but I could not find any.
