You always want to make sure your crawl space door seals your crawl space off from the outside environment. When they aren't airtight, they allow humidity into your basement during the summer, which leads to mold and rot. In the winter, cold winter air will enter, cooling your furnace, water heater, air ducts, hot water pipes, and other utilities. Not only does our EverLast Crawl Space Door protect your crawl space, it ads a beautiful touch to the homes landscape!
