draught proof strip around the frame?

 

The reality is if the rest of the house is air tight and sealed you won't get much draught.  In a well sealed house you can open one door or one window and you won't get a draught.

Was hoping for a bit more than that as that's what we have on existing house and it's not great (hadn't considered the air tight side)

Would a self closing hinge with a strong closing pull help create a better seal?

Could be worth looking at the garage outer door doors

Do you mean the the garage door for the car, we have a lot of air vents in there so sealing the big door is s bit pointless plus there is a log gasification boiler in there (need ventilation for combustion).

Our door to the attached garage is a plain white upvc fire door - it looks good and seals very well - I believe its what they fit as front doors in blocks of flats.

Do you have a make or link please.

It was fitted in 2010, I have since moved it to its new location - I will look tomorrow.

Sorry, I have looked all over the door - I cant find any details on it.

Bat wing seals like these maybe in the frame https://www.firesealsdirect.co.uk/passive-fire-protection/intumescent-seals/lorient-is1212-batwing-acoustic-and-smoke-seal-10-x-10-x-2100mm-white/?gclid=CjwKCAiAq8f-BRBtEiwAGr3DgYdZAqsDsgCYGJ2YYzrVbXMlU1YXMmwmStMxsA6F_PxajtDhOx-vyxoCw-MQAvD_BwE

 

And drop seal in the door
