Helpful hint - air infiltration at window panels NEXT to the door

This is a re-blog of content from Central Ohio Home Inspector Rick Harrington.

I am a sucker for his Themal Scan photos.  He did one of his dog... warm cold nose.  Duh! Dog noses are supposed to be cold.  

A home inspector did a thermal scan photo recently for a client of mine.  WOW!

We are going into a heat wave,  high 30's?  or low 40's this weekend after all the snow and ice.

 

Original content by Rick Harrington

While performing Thermal Scans with infrared camera here in the Central Ohio area,  (it is cold right now) clients are complaining of cold areas at the front door.

What I have been finding on a regular basis is that these nice panels next to the doors are the problem, not the door and weather strippling.

It's not the window or glass either, it's actually the frames have not been properly sealed and/or insulated.

 

Sorry the image is poor but had to reduce.
