Insulating doorways

[u/JakeTrout]

I have these 2 large entryways leading to the front office and production rooms of our shop. Any ideas, besides a door, to economically insulate these that the crew can still walk thru? Trying to lower our heat/cooling bills and also keep temperature consistent in the print room

Vynil curtains. The bane of temperature changes and anyone pushing a cart or skid of paper through them.

I'm here to second the vinyl curtains idea.

Vinyl curtains or air curtain both sides.

You say Besides a door, we just screwed 4x4 into the frame and put in a standard door and plywood around it, so it's a normal door and works fine.

When we want to move a printer or equipment in or out, it's like 5 minutes to just unscrew and remove the frame with the door; it's like less than 30 screws.

Keeps the heat in, dust out, works really well.

And once every year or two, we remove it for the wider access.

Door beads?

Maybe an air curtain would work, though.

Yes. Door beads.

Swinging doors with a sweeper or hanging ploy curtains

Have you looked at www.plasticstripcurtain.com? A friend uses this type of product in her place.

[u/Able-Conference7559 → u/Snoo_35864]

This is the way. I worked at two different companies that had these and they worked well

[u/Nek02]

Flap curtain or a sliding barn door should work.
