Commercial Door Sweeps Save Energy and Money
Here at Jersey Architectural, we are committed to bringing our customers easy-to-install, fashionable and effective products to help them conserve energy and cut overhead costs for their buildings. That’s why we stock a full array of commercial door sweeps for exterior doors. These can help business owners make a significant dent in their heating and cooling bills.
Doors sweeps are such simple technology, but can lead to big savings in the long run. According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), having proper air sealing in a building can cut utility bills by as much as 20 percent. And one of the most critical areas in preserving a building’s “thermal envelope” is the space around exterior doors. When this space is not sealed, outside cold air can infiltrate in the winter. This forces building operators to raise thermostats and pay more for heating fuel or electricity. In the hot summer months, cold air-conditioned air can be lost through this space, forcing a building’s cooling system to work overtime.
We stock many commercial door sweeps for exterior doors. With even a smaller commercial building, our door sweeps will likely pay for themselves in utility cost savings in under a year.
More than Just Energy Savings
Most contractors and building owners are familiar with door sweeps for their utility cost saving potential. But commercial door sweeps for exterior doors can also form a barrier to prevent infiltration of sound, light, insects, moisture, smoke and many other unwanted intruders. As opposed to a rubber weather seal, bristle brush sweeps travel more smoothly and can function even on slightly uneven surfaces like concrete.
Door Sweeps for Every Purpose, in Every Material
We stock door sweeps with both surface-mounted casing or fully-mortised casing. Sweeps are typically comprised of a stainless steel or aluminum bracket with a brush of plastic, vinyl, sponge, or felt. The material composition of the sweep itself will vary based on the application and desired energy-efficient performance.
