Weather Barrier Protection for Doors
Doors play a crucial role in keeping the elements from entering your home. The GUARDIAN™ Weather Barrier System protects your home from severe weather conditions.
Benefits of the Weather Barrier System for Doors
The GUARDIAN™ Weather Barrier System offers several benefits, including:
- Preventing water damage: Water damage to your door or home’s interior can occur due to natural weather events. The Weather Barrier System uses an airtight bottom front door seal that eliminates gaps or cracks to prevent water from seeping in.
- Improving energy efficiency: The system properly seals the door, which helps regulate indoor temperature. As a result, your heating and cooling system won’t work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature, making your home more energy-efficient.
- Protecting against insects: Insects can infiltrate your home through unsealed gaps or along the sides of your door. The system features a barrier that keeps insects out of your home.
About the Weather Barrier System
The GUARDIAN™ Weather Barrier System has the following features:
- Eastern white pine jambs: The jambs are end treated with an anti-wicking barrier to prevent rotting and insect infiltration. The five-year warranty finish offers superior quality and durability.
- High dam threshold: It features a continuous composite base that is resistant to warping or rot. The nose and rail come in different wood grains, and the aluminum sill is available in various finishes.
- Adjustable composite rail: The rail has a patented seal that interlocks with the high dam sill, creating an impenetrable barrier between the threshold and the interior.
- Performance grade rating of 40: The rating is determined via testing that measures the air, water and structural load a front door can withstand.
- Durable Q-Lon™ compression weatherstripping: The weatherstripping creates an airtight front door seal between the door and the jamp for full protection against air and water infiltration.
- Leading Edge™ corner pads: The patent-pending pads create a low-pressure cavity that prevents the “straw-wicking” effect and eliminates leaks during storms.
- Tubular bulb and center fin storm door bottom sweep: The tubular bulb and the bottom door sweep weatherstripping with the outer rain fin carry water away from the door.
- Extended sills: Extended sills elevate the jamb for water exposure reduction.
- Adjustable oak-look composite threshold: The threshold is used for height adjustment to facilitate ultimate sealing between the door and the threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions:
In what way can a dehumidifier assist in maintaining the right moisture balance indoors?
A dehumidifier is beneficial for regulating indoor moisture levels by removing excess humidity from the air. This action helps to prevent the buildup of condensation on surfaces such as sliding door panes, maintaining a balanced and more comfortable indoor environment.
How does letting air into the house help in reducing condensation?
**Improving Air Circulation to Reduce Condensation** Allowing fresh air to enter your home by opening windows is an effective method for managing and reducing indoor condensation. This process aids in establishing a consistent temperature throughout the house, crucial for minimizing the cold surfaces on which condensation typically forms. Additionally, enhanced ventilation dilutes and disperses the moisture generated from everyday activities like cooking, using appliances, and bathing. This not only helps in maintaining lower humidity levels but also keeps your living environment fresher.
What could be other reasons causing condensation issues on sliding glass doors?
If you find that condensation continues to form on your sliding glass doors despite trying various solutions, it is possible that the issue lies with the door itself. For instance, defective rubber seals around the glass can lead to moisture accumulation. Additionally, if the weather-stripping seals are worn out, cracked, or damaged, it might be necessary to replace them. Conducting a complete evaluation of your sliding door will help identify the specific problems and the appropriate actions to remedy them.
