A sliding glass door’s weather-stripping is intended to reduce air infiltration; however by the sliding nature of the door’s design it is impossible to stop; all the air leaking around the weather stripping; while still being able to use the door. Also, after years of use, the weather stripping wears down and air leakage increases as the door ages.

If the manufacturer has made it possible to do so; replace worn weather stripping on sliding glass doors with new weather stripping. When replacing patio doors, keep in mind that swinging doors; offer a much tighter seal than sliding types. Most modern glass doors with metal frames have a “thermal break”; which is a plastic insulator between inner and outer parts of the frame. Glass doors are also optionally manufactured with several layers of glazing, low-e coatings; and low conductivity gases between the glass panes. These options are a good investment, especially in extreme climates. Over the long run, the additional cost is paid back many times over in energy savings.

Adding a storm door to your front door is generally a good investment if your existing door is old, but still in good condition. However, adding a new (or more expensive) storm door to a modern foam core door is not generally worth the expense since the added energy saved is very small. But you may have aesthetic reasons for wanting a storm door anyway. In any case, never add a glass storm door if the door gets more than a few hours of direct sun each day. The glass will trap too much heat against the entry door and possibly damage it.
