IanR Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 (edited) What were the outside and inside temps? Not sure that ~16°C in a corner is that bad, if it's close to freezing outside. What's under the door threshold? Is it block & beam on a strip foundation, similar, or an insulated raft? A quick calc has the inside face of the door at 16.7°C with an outside temp of 0°C and inside temp of 21°C for a door frame with a 0.86 Uf value. With a little thermal bridging that could easily drop lower. Edited September 17 by IanR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 If the door is sitting on a concrete beam/slab that's bridging from the outside to the inside, that easily explains the heat loss at the bottom. Can you remember the buildup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
