Hi All, A couple of years ago, we had a two panel (one sliding, one fixed) sliding glass door installed in our kitchen (door is made by Sunrise Windows and Doors). It seems kind of drafty, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows where there should be weather stripping. I just put some stripping in the door frame where the door slides into. (I think its the jamb, but I'm not confident on my terminology.) Basically, when you pull the door shut, it locks by having 3 hooks bite into the inside of the frame. Where the 3 hooks bite into is an about 4.5 foot piece of metal attached to the inside of the door frame, with 3 appropriately spaced "hook holes." However, above and below the metal (which is maybe 0.25 inches thick) there is a channel - it looks like the metal should run the full height of the door frame, but it doesn't. So, I installed weather stripping both above and below the metal attachment, at approximately the same thickness of the metal attachment. I'm hoping that helps, but is there anything else I should check? For example, should there be any stripping on/in the top of the door frame, in the track where the door runs? It looks like there is nothing there, although there may be some very thin stripping that touches the inside and outside of the door at the top, which I assume is intended to stop airflow. I hope this makes sense, as door terminology is not my strong point. Thank you for any help!

I would like to know if I would benefit from insulating my steel Clopay 16 ft garage door and/or the garage ceiling (which is attic space above). Here is my home configuration:- Single-level new house (only 1500 sqft) with concrete block construction, with attached garage facing North (garage door faces north and never sees direct sun, but the garage still gets incredibly hot).- The conditioned airspace (living area) has a well-insulated attic (18 inches blown in fiberglass), but the adjoining attic over the garage is not insulated. There are two very large (4 inch by 20 inch) roof vents near the gable roof peak, one over the garage attic area and one over the living area, but there are no soffit vents or ridge vent in the house. There is a small vent (8 inch by 8 inch) in the garage ceiling into the attic, most likely used to provide air for the nearby gas-fired domestic hot water tank also located in the garage. I am an engineer and have read many contradicting articles on this subject, and therefore I still do not know what to do. I welcome your analysis and suggestions. I would like to keep the garage cooler without conditioning that space and wonder if insulating the garage door and/or attic might help, or would that trap heat in the garage. I wonder, did the builder cut costs by not insulating the attic above the garage, or was that the right approach considering the configuration of my home? Thank you!
