In winter, main wooden door of the house gets very cold. Probably making heater to work harder. Can I use this sheet to insulate the door? Door 36x81"

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.

The could be use for installation. The problem is the pad is not very thick

I'm not sure if it would or not. This will be my first winter with it. What I plan on doing is putting in my garage with a space heater. I live in Florida and winters are nowhere as cold as your. Heating pads in the green house might help. There are company's out there that have heating pads for green houses like ours.

You might get mixed answers, but I tend to freeze with mine! Thick sheet will help with that though.

I did not use this for door edges, my use was for door sills and top of rear bumper to protect for trunk usage. The film should bend enough to do the door edge as it is only 6 mil thick. Bear in mind that this listed product is 12X12 sheets and longer sheets would work better for all of these areas.

Depends, It would probably make a difference if you coated the whole door but there are products more for that such as mass loaded vinyl(mlv) which is used for walls and doors. This stuff would be more for around the cracks and in the door jamb. That said, if you stuck it to the door by the sheet it would help, but say goodbye to the paint!

It sounds like it would be a little too small for your opening. The screen measurements are 36"x 83", but this is the total size, including an edges that are secured with the velcro. Because they are secured flat against the frame it takes up about an inch on each side. Once all the edges are secured, it fits doors up to 34" x 82" While it works on some of our doors, something I am considering in the future is to frame up a small screened area outside my front door and making the opening to accommodate this screen so I can step out my front door without getting accosted by bugs and critters.

I would not count on it since there are two door openings. The heating pad is just enough to make the cat more comfortable while sitting inside.we have not gone thru cold weather yet plus the cats have not used it yet.

It will heat that size no problem. However, you will need to modify the latch on the door so that it does not smoke you out. I used a small piece of 1/2 EMT to make the door shut tightly. Also, do not add stove pipe sections beyond what it is shipped to you with or it will not draft properly. And you will want to burn it hot outside prior to putting it in the sauna because all of the paint will burn off.

I think it should. I live inm Chicago where we're in a deep freeze right now. I have a top sheet, 2 of the fleece blankets and a quilt on the bed and I'm toasty. I think one of the fleece blankets should do the trick nicely and it's great for autumn/spring.

You can absolutely do that, I'm not sure what environment you are in, but if your weather is consistently below zero, you might want to think about doubling the wrap. 4" is plenty of pipe exposure to freeze. This product will not heat up all the surrounding pipes.

We live in the San Francisco Bay area, gret here, don't know about where it snows, but probably OK. How far north? I would think a heater would be fine as long as it doesn't touch the plastic. Be sure oxygen gets in, it does have lots of windows.

Yes you can. BUT you have to install it very well not to have a slight opening/a crack, so to speak, that lets in cold air. Must be aligned perfectly which we couldn't quite achieve. So we wound up putting strips of clear weatherproof tape all down that crack which meant we can't slide open the door without tearing lose the tape. But, it is so convenient for the cats, we are living with a door that can't be open.

Hard to answer that question since I don't know the weight of the 'insulated curtain" also since this is a single panel on a sliding door I assume that it gets some traffic. this will put a lot more stress on the rod in the center. I would suggest you mount it above the frame of the door and use the center support, assuming 36" door panels you can still open the door with half the window/door covered or just move both panels to the outside. Panels usually come 2 to a pack and only one panel across the whole 6' may not get you the effect you want. Since this is a double rod I use it with a gauss panel on the window side with sun blocking panel on the room side. All my windows are low-E glass with argon fill, so insulation is redundent. I got them a great price at Lowes custom made to my exact opening, at 25% of what a window company quoted me and delivered in 2 weeks.

No I wouldn't recommend the door flap. It's opaque so it would be difficult to see through, and it is leaves about an inch gap on the bottom so it would be drafty in cold weather.

Should work fine. I have mine in a dog house. It's 4x8 and 8 feet high. Gets to 40c below here and it keeps it warm in there for my mutt. Walls are press board and there is carpeting in there. It gets warm but if you keep drapes away (like any heater) it will be fine. Make sure the wiring is up to code and get the right voltage thermostat and it works great!!!

I'm not sure how it would work for that. I use it around the doors on my car to keep moisture from freezing and it lasts a little over a year for that.

I thought mine worked well. The size of the room and its insulation make a big difference. The most effective for me was using it to heat our 12x14' master bedroom at night, and we kept the door to the rest of the house closed. With just the wall panel, the bedroom would get too warm and we'd have to turn off the heat during the night, which was great!
