Just as essential and vital as putting weather strip on a window is putting one to a door as this will help in lessening the loss of energy and minimizing drafts. There are several areas where the cooled air or heated air in a room can escape thru even when you keep the door closed and these are the crack under the door’s bottom edge, between the door and its jambs and top.

Closing up these gaps will give be very beneficial as you would be able to save in energy used and you will have more comfort.
