As in my last post, this is another concern of mine with regards to our 8 year old house feeling cold in general.
We had a huge draught going through our living room with one of the windows not shutting against the draught excluders, but we've had that fixed now and the living room feels fine, as long as we keep the living room door shut (which leads out to the hallway).
As soon as you walk into the hallway, it feels cold. Even when the heating is on and has been on for a while, if you touch the front door (which is a multi-point locking double glass panel front door but made out of metal) it feels very cold!
I'm just worried that the front door is acting like a fridge and just sucking all of the heat out of our hallway and wondered if there's anything I can do other than replacing it, and what is the best thing to replace it with? UPVC? Wood?
All advice is gratefully received!
Cheers all!
