Preventing Air Infiltration

Air infiltration occurs when patio doors are not well weather-sealed. Air infiltration is the process that carries heat through cracks and gaps around the door frame, letting cold air in and warm air out.

Standard Doors are designed to provide an air-tight envelope. A variety of closed-cell foam gaskets are used to consistently seal all assembly joints and 100% high-fin weatherstripping is used to ensure an air-tight seal between all sliding and non-sliding components. This combination of weather-seals prevents unwanted drafts and air-leaks.

Standard´s patio doors have all been balanced to provide a smooth and silent gliding operation, while maintaining an air-tight envelope that maximizes energy efficiency.
