Cold Climate Advisory

While our premium iron doors are built from durable steel for unmatched strength and elegance, they can experience thermal transfer in extreme cold, potentially leading to interior condensation. Since metal is a natural conductor, significant temperature differences between your home’s interior and the outdoors can result in this effect. 

For cold climate regions, we highly recommend purchasing a thermally broken door to reduce heat transfer and minimize interior condensation, ensuring your home stays comfortable and well-protected.

To combat this, standard foam insulation alone may not fully prevent it—our expertly designed thermal barrier solutions provide an essential layer of protection, helping to minimize the risk of condensation.

The U.S. map below shows the 'frost areas' by state, with blue-shaded areas typically experiencing harsher winters and classified as cold climate regions.

Note: higher elevations are often colder, which increases the likelihood of frost formation.

Condensation issues are common with non-thermally broken iron doors, particularly after installation in cold weather, though these issues tend to improve after the first summer.

Iron Door.com provides no warranty on the suitability of this product for cold climates. Condensation and frost may occur, especially when installed in colder regions.

Although this issue isn't covered under warranty, we’re dedicated to providing expert guidance to help you minimize its effects and maintain optimal comfort.

Avoiding Condensation During Colder Months:

• Redirect warm air vents to prevent them from blowing directly onto the door.
• Ensure your home is properly ventilated to maintain healthy airflow.
• Maintain indoor humidity between 30% and 50% to avoid excessive moisture.

Maintain balanced humidity levels to protect your iron door from excess moisture and ensure a comfortable, cozy home all year round. Use a dehumidifier if necessary for added control.
