One of the things that didn't last long on the doors of our new house was the weather stripping on the bottom... and boy is that annoying - particularly when you have young children who play on the floor... We have three doors to the outside world in our main living area - front door, back door and garage door and two of the three have huge draft issues, so when I had the opportunity to check out twin draft guard, I leaped at the opportunity...
What is Twin Draft Guard? (From the manufacturer)

My review:
We had our first few really cool nights here in South Carolina this week and the first thing I noticed was how cold it was in front of our front door - and with Liam playing on the floor and the new baby going to be joining him in the next few months for 'tummy time', it was prudent to find a solution and quick!
It literally took less than 5 minutes to cut the twin draft guard to size and slide it on the door... I felt a difference in temperature immediately and I truly believe the claim that I will save on my heating bills in the first month - because the difference was immediate and amazing.
If you have drafty doors, I highly recommend checking out twin draft guard.
