Would this product insulate a door? Was thinking of putting it between a screen door and inside/outside door that doesn't get opened in the winter.

I have no idea. I used it as a base for a Christmas ceramic village display.

I use it on an outdoor screen door though it's on the inside of the door, exposed to the weather through the screen. The one I replaced (same model) was on the door when we bought the house 10 years ago, and was probably original (house built 25 years ago).

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 am using in door only, sorry I didn't tried it in out door and I have no idea about how to cover

Yes, it can be applied to a door frame. I can't vouch for it's noise cancellation effects (though I'm sure there would be some level of noise reduction if there was a large gap), but it should help to keep the room insulated at least.

It wouldn't work on a screen door. We don't have storm doors in California so I don't know. It would depend on the thickness of the door.

We use ours on an interior porch that is not heated. It seems to stay warm enough but the opening on both sides may present issues with a continuous draft? I put a polartec blanket inside that partially covers back opening. It is lighter than wooden or heavy plastic houses so wind could be a factor as far as " blowing over". I would see this working in a semi protected area ( in an open port or garage or she'd, etc) . I am pleased with the house!

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.

Personally I would not try to use the door while this is installed. Not enough room in a normal width patio door with this in there but the biggest reason is energy efficiency. I have a burglar bar pushing the partially opened door tight against the dog door. Then I have the wide rubber insulation strip on the patio door where there is now a space because the door doesn't seal. I purchased another strip of this from a pet website for the inside part of the other door so now it's very tight and recent wind and cold showed no drafts. So with all that you would have a lot of air leakage going in and out of the door. I have another patio door to use so works great for me.

I think you have to look at the space your heating and how well it is insulated. I installed one in a 2 car garage, fairly insulated, and it keeps the temp. just above the outside on very cold days.

I don't think it would work in a screen door. We had to make some adjustments for the installation in a wooden door.

Not at all, the only thing I might think is you should have some type of rubber skirt to insulate the outside from the in that way you wont have a draft or rain water creeping under the door. I have it intalled and I'll pay the person who can kick the door down after it's in place.

That size door will require 2 roles of insulation. I used Duck Tape brand double sided tape. I did this when it was cold and had to preheat the door with a blow dryer in the places I wanted the tape to stick. My door had small channels and metal bracing so I only had to use the tape to secure one end. Consequently, I only used 1/2 roll of tape. I have been pleased with the product. It does not have the R value of the fiber glass insulation, but I did not want an extra 28 pounds on my door.

You use this insulating tape like regular "Scotch" tape. It is typically used for sliding glass doors or windows where cracks are letting in air (cold or hot). You either put it where the window or door doesn't open or you don't open the window or door where you put this. Wow.

I guess it would depend on how much clearance between the doors. It might be too deep to let the other door pass. I put this on a screen door though and I love it. My screen was only a month old when fireworks in the neighborhood caused my dog to chew thru the screen.... This really helped.

Yes, but... Then weatherstrip must be mounted inside, on the doorstop, so the foam is compressed when the door is closed. You may not like the look. You may prefer a compressible weatherstripping that would be hidden between the door and frame when the door is closed.

I took 2 pieces of rag and taped them on the inside overlapping them. I was worried that my girl wouldn't go in since she is really wild (won't come within 4 feet of you). She has been going in on a regular basis. It has been extremely cold here (0 degrees with wind chills below 0) so maybe she knows a good thing. I have it positioned under our house eaves with the opening behind our air conditioning unit to help block wind and wet.
