Door bottoms. The gap below doors is one of the worst draft areas in many houses. There are several types of weatherstripping for the bottom of a door. 2, record 2, English, - door%20bottom
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The term "door bottom" is used to designate two concepts. In a broad sense, it is used to describe a type or class of weatherstripping used to seal the gap at the bottom of a door and includes weatherstripping attached to the floor or threshold as well as weatherstripping affixed to the bottom of the door itself (i.e., full threshold weatherstripping, partial threshold weatherstripping, door bottoms and door sweeps). In a narrower sense, "door bottom" designates one type of weatherstripping that is fixed to the bottom of the door and covers the entire thickness of the door (as opposed to a door sweep, which is attached on the exterior side of the door only). 3, record 2, English, - door%20bottom

... the effect of weather stripping is similar to insulation in that it reduces the heat loss or heat gain of a structure and also conserves energy. Weather stripping is available in many forms, such as foam rubber or foam plastic strips, which are resilient and compressible. They are usually placed in a door frame or window frame in such a manner that the door or window compresses the material and thereby eliminates air infiltration. 2, record 4, English, - weatherstripping

Partial threshold weatherstripping consists of a length of material, triangular in cross-section, (usually metal with a vinyl or closed-cell foam gasket) fastened to the floor on the exterior side of the door. When closed, the door butts against the strip, thus creating a seal even if there is no threshold directly beneath the door. In CATIR-E, 1983, no. 4, p. 33 (Canadian Tire "Winter Shopping Guide"), this type of weatherstripping is described as a bumper. 2, record 9, English, - partial%20threshold%20weatherstripping
