Come capire se le proprie porte interne sono efficienti

How to understand if your doors are efficient

Understanding whether a port is still efficient or not is not that complex. In fact, there are several signs that can lead to a rather certain conclusion. These are the most obvious:

    Age: the age of a fixture is an indicator that may not be very precise, but certainly one to take into account. The calculation is easy: the older a door is, the more likely it is to be less efficient for a whole series of reasons. The deformation of the door or frame, for example, can lead to the presence of drafts, and therefore to a drop in thermal insulation;
    Lack of insulation: an installation carried out incorrectly or incompletely can lead to an incorrect passage of air even in the case of newly purchased doors;
    Increased spending on heating: if you realize that your electricity or gas bill is increasing, and above all if you feel the need to use the heating more and more, this is a possible sign that the shielding capacity of the door is in net decline.

Once you have ascertained that your door needs to be replaced, how can you choose a truly efficient alternative?

Secondly, the thermal transmittance parameter is certainly to be taken into consideration. This is normally supplied by the manufacturers, and indicates the resistance that the door opposes to the escape of heat towards the outside.
