Wouldn't mind seeing that door.

I'll snap a pic tonight

I used some reflectix room material and taped it around the door edges by 6". This blocks any light in or out that may be. I also use weather stripping on the door seal. Like your homes front door . 3yrs still good to go.

I had to build my room in a rush originally because my basement turned out to get much colder than expected the first winter and I moved everything upstairs.

Gorilla tape is amazing. The tape is 2 years old and I only had to patch a couple spots so far.

Curtain over outside of flower room door to help block insects and light in or out.

Gorilla tape flaps all the way around.

Gorilla tape and rubber baseboard molding door sweep.

2 1" foil backed rigid foam insulation sheets stacked and outside painted black for light proofing window. Mock curtain in place to look normal from outside.

I had a window a/c in the bottom section but use the room next door as a lung room now.

Cheap, ugly and effective. Lol. :-)

Nice. I did the same with my windows. From the outside it looks nice with curtains. But on the inside it's boarded up tight

I have used a board like this for exhaust too. I ran the duct and silencer to a 6" hole near the top and cracked the window a couple of inches. Then just tilted the blinds until you could only see black.

It was in a trailer park and you could not hear the fans in the yard outside the window unless you were very close. And it just looks like a dark room.

You know what's funny is I did the tape tek on the hinge side of the door but not on the rest lol.

I tried screwing some 1x2 to the frame and stapling some weather strip to it. It worked ok but needed some tweaking. As for the exhaust my neighbor asked why my basemen window was blowing out warm air.... I dunno Bob...welp gotta go :cry:
