Does the door insulate? I have a small office room with AC and no door, will this help with the insulation?

I bought this for that purpose for my kitchen in my apartment. It does keep a lot of the stove heat out of the rest of the house. It's made of a a fairly thick plastic. However, because its accordion style, it does have some openings at the top and bottom (more than a normal door). Either way, it will make a noticeable difference.

Only blocking of direct air flow will be effected it should provide some savings but not very much, this door is just a vinyl single membrane but does seal the opening.

it makes a difference in my apartment...although there is about a 3 inch gap at the bottom because i didn't realize that it was too short for the my doorway, but i decided i needed the privacy so i left it in place. it does make difference in the temp of the room, it keeps it cooler with ac and warmer with heater.

My office is 20X35 and in the basement where its very cold in the winter and keeps my office nice and toasty. Its very quiet and unobtrusive. The only problem it causes, is the ladies tend to visit in groups as my office is warmer than most areas in the building... but that's OK too :-) recommended highly, have never had any issues whatsoever!

No. I used it to keep my closet cool because I turned it into an office. It does a great job moving the air in spaces like that.

Hello, I use this in my office and it is a wonder, really provides very adequate heat. My husband who is a mechanical person installed this, cut out the wall, etc. and thoroughly inspected the device before installation. It is quite contained, protected and encased, the only heat source is frontward and outward, keep things away from blocking the intake air flow, other than that, this is a super great purchase and really provides excellent warmth and that is adjustable with the knob to the level you desire. Do not forget to turn it off when you are done for the day. Hope this is reassuring to you, really excellent purchase for our desired location, small office.

This is only a fan. It is not an AC or a heater. It only moves air. Meaning, it will not make a room warmer or cooler, but it will make you feel cooler if it blows on you.

If I recall correctly, no, there is no sealant around the door. However, most of the A/C will likely be lost out of the flap itself rather than any sealing issues. Technically, you could put some inexpensive weatherstripping between each plastic half and the door panels in which you are installing it. It works for us in use in the uninsulated door between the main level of the conditioned house and the basement. I assume that you aren't considering using this door in an exterior door. I would choose something more robust and insulated for an exterior door. However, for its intended purpose and price, this is a really nice door and I have had a couple of different brands.

I have this PC in a small office type room. There is no problem with the heat generation. I don't notice any heat build up.

We have had it run all night at low temp; with the door closed it warms up the room very nicely. OverallI think it was not a great buy as there are better units out there for less. Still it appears to work verywell.

We got this one for my husbands 2 car garage/shop and it works great . The doors arent insulated and theres cracks along the edges , so we were concerned that would be a problem but it hasnt it heats the room quick and nicely . I can't say whether its better then the others but were pretty happy with the performance of this one. Hope that helps

No. It's all metal, no insulation. I only store laptops and non-essential documents, money, Ids etc.

had similar problems,but not with this product.I to have a insulated garage,but if the door is open for some time it gets cold.Then it warms up and the cycle continues all winter. Now, in early fall, I move all my car care products indoors for the winter

Airflow is fine, I can cool a high end GPU (GTX680) and OC my i7 to 4.4Ghz if I want and it keeps temperatures acceptable. The door was well thought out, and there is enough space not to limit the fan. The only thing of note is that, one of the openings of the door is more "open" then the other for air flow. That "open" end you will want to face away from where you are sitting, or else the noise you perceive from sitting at the desk will go up.

This product would insulate, but I don't think covering the face of a door would be an appropriate application. Before you think about insulating the door, you might want to check to see if there are any gaps that can be addressed first. If you search on Amazon you can probably find rubber or synthetic seals to place around the door frame and along the base. If the door is well sealed, but still cold, then I suppose you could consider an insulating material, but the question is how would you attach it without ruining the finish of the door.

I use this in an 8 x 10 office with no windows and a ceiling of 9 ft. Ater a few hours it is really warm. No problems with keeping up.

No it's not insulated. Cold air and hot air can still get in. Regardless. I LOVE this fan.

It might help with the condensation. It pulls much more moisture from the air than the passive units with charcoal, etc., but you would probably need to keep the door to the bathroom closed to have it really make a difference. Mine draws only about a quarter of a cup/day from a mid-sized bedroom with the door open, so it should do much better in a smaller room with the door closed. It is still a big help in keeping the summer-time humidity down in the bedroom.
