I have a home under some renovation with no heat in part of the home. Can I use this to thermally cover the doorway during the winter.

Yes, if you keep the foil side facing into the heated space. It has no insulating value though since it is very thin.

Not through the frame. There is a seal kit available that could help keep out the cold. The door itself is made of a heavy material and has a magnet to help seal it.

I actually use it as a cat house in the winter. We have a heated mat for the floor. Plus blankets. It works well. We have it on our front porch so it does have protection

I use it as back up defrost... It does not put out enough heat to be a heat source.

Hardware stores sell kits of very thin foam that's designed to put behind outlet plates on exterior walls to block cold air from coming in. This stuff is very manageable and easy to cut into shapes, and can be used as a barrier between the gate and the wall or doorway. They may not prevent all the damage, but certainly cut back on it.

I believe it is possible. I haven't insulated. During the winter time in Peru, I usually put the house over a wooden box (parihuela) to isolate it.

I do not believe this is designed to provide any insulation in the winter. It is designed to reduce sunlight thru the window to keep sun out in the summer. It may actually keep you from getting the warmth of the sun in the winter.

I don't know for sure, but I think it works with both heat and light. I think that the exterior door would be insulated to prevent the heat attraction and as long as the seal on the door is good light should not be a problem either.

the thermostat is going to respond to the temp in the entire area. You would have to block off an area to heat only that, or use an inexpensive space heater which you switch on and off. I bought mine to keep my well house/storage shed just above freezing. It is working well for that.

If you want to use insulation only...I don't think it will keep it from freezing. If you wrap it with Heat Tape and insulation...yes, it will keep it from freezing. Heat tape works great on jobs like that.

I really don't think it would heat up enough to do anything but warm food slightly.You don't get that much heat through windows and then it would go through the glass on the door. If you have one, try it. But don't buy one thinking you could use it inside the house.

I live in my camper and have a roll of this foil that I bought to add to the insulation this spring. However during the last cold wave I used some of it to cover all openings and windows temporarily. It kept the heat in and didn't interfere with my wifi (router is out side) or my phone that I noticed. I can't say anything for sure except that I didn't notice any problem.

I use this in my 2car garage in the winter it is a concrete block fixture. I am in pa. and it works wearing light clothing. I keep my doors cracked a couple of inches for venting. I would not use in a closed space. stan

I don't know what to say. It would depend on what kind of door it is. If there is a door jam it has to be dragged over, it wouldn't last but if it is flat under your door, it should be fine. this is our second Winter to use ours, we're still very pleased.

I don't know if I can be any help with this one as I used it on the interior wood stairs leading to our basement. I was under the impression that it should only be used indoors, not exposed to the weather.

Yes absolutely! That is exactly what I purchased this product for. Definitely keeps the heat upstairs where it belongs and the cold from crawl space from creeping in. I do have radiant heat in floors, though I do feel it will help keep the cold out even if you do not have radiant, Very easy install as well. Very happy, great product and inexpensive! Highly recommend.

Yes, you can apply it if the temperatures are 20F or below. Please note that you need to divide the sections so that you have only the width that you need. Then you need to push it INTO THE SPACE OR INTO THE CRACK for it to stay in place.
