Can I use to prevent cold air from coming through my balcony doors? If not, what should I use?

Hi Syed. Not sure about that, but it is really heavy glue. So if you glue it on, taking it out might be tough. But it is thick enough to prevent a draft. I personally have not used it for that purpose though.

I doubt it would stop drafts it is weather proof though as I used it to seal a tear on my hot tub cover. Check out draft guards here on Amazon as there are a number of good ones made for doors.

I live in Massachusetts and the door goes out to the porch. Havent noticed any cold air coming in. We have 3 cats and a dog who use it.

This is a good option for garage doors. I wouldn't use it on windows because you couldn't see out. The good old stand-by for leaking windows (besides moving) was clear heavy plastic, which comes in rolls at your hardware store, and either taping or stapling it over the window frame included. The other if you are handy is to make a wooden strip frame for the clear plastic and make a sort of makeshift "storm window" that you can insert inside the window frame. Then you can caulk around the frame to eliminate drafts coming in that way. Years ago when we lived in houses that didn't have the excellent insulated windows we now have, this is how we eliminated cold and drafts from windows. Especially, if we were short on money.

If I were you, I would remove the duct tape and use just the interior transparent weather tape. The adhesive is comparable to duct tape, but the density of the weatherization tape is less permeable than duct tape and is going to do a better job keeping drafts of heat out. You may want to purchase a wide version of the 3m interior tape. I bought the 1inch so I could fit it at 90 degree angles at my windows edges and around a few drafty outlets.....

I have used bubble wrap over my in window airconditioners for several years. And also over draftyl windows. It is a good insulator and the the drafts do not get through - Dot

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.

With proper ventilation (to keep your roof cold) and insulation (so house air doesn't warm it up) you shouldn't have any ice damns so will be OK. I redid all that on my place before installing the guard, so don't know how it does with heavy damning. Without damning it has held up fine in the snow.

Hhhmmmm...not sure about a balcony if your spot is windy. I've expanded one of these rods to full length in a bedroom, & the rod is staying put. I use 2 of these rods of diff. sizes--both indoors & each holding light weight linen panels. They experience no weather challenges.

I already answered this. It does nothing to protect against cold air. It didn't fit my doors, and I use it now as a cat toy.

Absolutely !!!!! We use folding chairs , my lab sits by the door, and we put a propane heater between us when the temps get really cold!I bought a second one so we can hunt 4 guys at a time. nice blinds.

This product would insulate, but I don't think covering the face of a door would be an appropriate application. Before you think about insulating the door, you might want to check to see if there are any gaps that can be addressed first. If you search on Amazon you can probably find rubber or synthetic seals to place around the door frame and along the base. If the door is well sealed, but still cold, then I suppose you could consider an insulating material, but the question is how would you attach it without ruining the finish of the door.

I have found it absolutely effective in summer to keep it much cooler inside but have not noticed a difference in the winter. If you do use it, be sure to read the reviews on installation, especially the part of having two people, using lots of lubricant (slightly soapy water works fine), and using the clothes pins to weight it down. Install the least visible door first, so you can learn by your mistakes. Be aware that you can pull too hard and stretch the material, and wind up with creases as a result.

This makes sense, you are wise to use a filter before installing the #1 canister. Also would you tell me how to vent the heater in one small room, I have windows but hate to open them, as the cold air comes in?

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.

Kind of small for your window and it has to be attached to a sturdy framework. If you're using it for humidity, it will work, but run a lot. It you aren't, and just want to pull the air out, I would just get a box fan and put it so it sucks the lot air out. That would be a lot cheaper. These were made of pulling humidity out from under houses. Hope this helps.

What? You intend to cover up the windows or something? If so you probably could, but you would need to leave a few inches of space for air circulation or mold might grow from condensation.

Google "redneck air conditioner". You take a styrofoam ice chest, cut a hole for the fan to blow air into the ice chest. Then use a piece of PVC or other tubing to direct the cold air towards you. It will make things more humid but it's apparently a decent option for cool air.
