Is there a sealant around the door to keep out bugs and keep A/C in the house
1801738
There is no sealant provided in the package. I installed my cat in the screen door to a sun room next to the garage. The plastic panels, inner and outer, will seal themselves to the door when the installation screws are tightened. That is assuming that the panels fit flush on the door all the way around. The cat door itself is hinges at the top and is held in place with a magnet on the bottom. There needs to be some clearance for the door to operate correctly. The cat door will let some AC out and bugs in.

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.

There is a soft short fuzzy brush like material around 3 sides and it makes a really nice closure on the door. The door opens with their pressure on it. But doesn't just swing back and forth. Haven't had any problem with bugs or losing cool air. Only they brought in a snake one day !!!

No. If you can settle for tan look here: M-D 43820 Kerf-style Door Bottom Seal. Note seals are two tubes and one finger, not all fingers as shown here. Cheers!

I have used bubble wrap over my in window airconditioners for several years. And also over draftyl windows. It is a good insulator and the the drafts do not get through - Dot

It works good as an air tight seal so it should work good to keep out bugs as long as the door closes tight.

Light rain- but rain could get in around door- and bugs , as there is no gusset around the door, just plastic on plastic. i keep in laundry room and no bugs or rain!

Probably not, it has ventilation openings around the frame. This guard is just to avoid tampering with the thermostat. It's not sealed at all.

Not that i know of. this is a sealant an glue. I have not opened it yet as the weather is not suitable for the planed use. If you are planning to paint the basement floor their are many products available. Be sure to wear a mask and use a fan to ventilate the space during and after you paint. Epoxy is flammable so turn off any gas powered equipment till the paint is dry and the fumes clear.

I have not seen any on my house... however, I do not know if it's because of the repellents.... Could not say.

One more thing.... I also added an Honeywell UV light in the duct to kill bacteria in the air and also is effective during the summer when the a/c condenser has water sitting on the coil or in the process of draining. You can purchase one on Amazon... and it is easy to install.

This is generally used to keep rubber, window trim, door trim, hood and boot rubber trim supple and prevents drying out and cracking. My understanding is that it isn't a sealer.

I never had problems with bugs coming in. It's not an air tight seal, but they way vents to the window you can leave the screen on, so no bugs when I used it. In fact the way it connects to the window for venting was the one thing I didn't have a problem with.

No there is not...it is a good spot to store gear in less than ideal weather. There are tie downs at the bottom to help keep the bugs out. However, the two tie downs near the zippered entrance seem to be not very helpful as it makes getting through the door difficult. Minor issue though.

It will seal it. Make sure you use two coats. And yes, ventilation is a MUST! Do it outside or in a garage. Bathroom will work, too, with a fan.

you can use a ground cover,avail thru amazon, to protect it. its a light material that keeps out some pests.

no. There is a magnetic closure so unless your pet hangs halfway in the door, no bugs enter.

If your garage does not have panels to attach the insulation material into it but as long as you can use the duck tape to attach the insulation material to the back of your garage door it will work to keep your garage cooler in the hot day, the winter was a bit cool from Dec to mid January in southern cal.
