Door Stop
Posted in Garden Antiques on 01/18/2009 01:44 pm by adminHow to stop heat transfer through a sliding glass door?
Does anyone have any ideas for stopping (or minimizing) heat transfer through a sliding glass door?
I live in Phoenix, AZ. I own a condo with a sliding glass door to the backyard. During the day I can feel the heat coming through the glass. I have vertical blinds on the door that stops some of the heat, but it still gets really hot in the room.
The door is in the shade 95% of the time...it's mostly just the hot air. So putting an additional shade in front of it won't do much good.
Any ideas of additional methods for keeping out the heat? Anything I can add/put onto/put in front of the door to slow down the heat transfer?
Thanks!
I recently screened a house in Texas. I choose the "No Seeum" material for all of the screens. There was a significant drop of temperature in the house afterward. I choose to do the job myself, purchased the materials and took a Saturday to do 18 screens. Once you do the first one, the job becomes easier. My GF couldn't believe the difference. I did the screen on the backdoor first, so that she could see and feel the difference as it was slide open and closed.
The other option would be to coat it with UV protective window film. You can find it in the same stores you would find the screening materials, LOWES, HOMEDEPOT, ACE TRUVALUE, or most any good hardware store. You can choose tint percentages and mirrored or unmirrored finishes.
Either way, you will see a noticable decrease in your electric bill. Her's dropped by nearly 22% during February.
I hope this helps.
If you really want to see a change, do both to your windows.
