Are Wrought Iron Doors Energy-Efficient?

Before we dive into whether or not wrought iron doors are energy-efficient, you might be wondering why energy-efficient doors are so essential in the first place.

One of a homeowner’s primary goals is to achieve an interior temperature that’s consistently comfortable despite outside conditions. Energy-efficient doors act as a barrier to eliminate cold spots in your home during chilly weather and remove warm spots during high temperature scenarios.

Your home’s entire heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system will have to work harder when your doors leak air. This lack of insulation will naturally create higher energy bills. Energy-efficient front doors translate to lower energy bills and may even create tax incentives.

Are you thinking about selling your home? Energy efficiency is often at the top of a home shopping checklist for the reasons mentioned above. All this information begs one question: Which type of door is going to look the best while still maintaining energy-efficient capabilities?

Which Wrought Iron Door Elements Are Energy-Efficient?

Wrought iron doors are a reliable option when you’re looking to upgrade your door’s form and function. Let’s examine what’s behind a Precise Iron Doors design’s ability to support a home’s overall energy efficiency.

Dual-Paned Glass

Precise Iron Doors feature dual-paned glass that offers quality ventilation and a straightforward cleaning process. Single-pane glass windows will cost you less money upfront since they provide lower levels of sound resistance and reduced energy efficiency capabilities.

The money you spend on a door with dual-pane glass creates an opportunity for future energy savings since the two glass panes are separated by a layer of gas or air. This separation allows the glass to trap exterior air and act as a barrier that stops outside cold or hot air from negatively impacting your home’s interior temperature.

Heavy-Duty Weather Stripping

Have you noticed any drafts or inconsistent temperatures within your home? Insufficient door seals are going to compromise your home’s energy efficiency every time. Our company’s iron doors are sealed with heavy-duty weather stripping that promises you a proper seal that fills in air and light gaps when your door is closed.

Waterproof

Air leaks can have a negative impact that stretches beyond your home’s energy bills. Moisture from water vapor within outside air can enter your house through leaks and possibly cause mold or mildew within walls and insulation. Play it safe with a weather-resistant waterproof design from Precise Iron Doors.

Foam-Insulated

You may be curious to learn how you’ll benefit from one of our foam-insulated iron doors. Foam insulation helps seal up any small gaps that a door might contain. This additional barrier of protection presents benefits that include:

Lower interior humidity (less mold growth)
Better sound insulation
Pest protection
Reduced energy costs
