        Photo 4 of 4Exterior doors are sealed in one of two ways.

        Types of Seals(4 of 4)

        • Compression sealed doors use a flexible PVC gasket that fits along the four sides of an entry way. When the door is closed, the gasket is compressed into place to form a tight seal.

        • Magnetically sealed doors are made of metal or steel and have a magnetic seal similar to those found on refrigerator doors. They are a more expensive option, but they're extremely energy efficient.
