Weatherstrips for doors

Should you only add weatherstrips to your front door or would it make any sense to use them on interior doors for weatherproofing?

"The answer is in the question.
Unless you have indoor weather,weather strips should be fitted to external doors.
But fitting draught excluders to I'll fitting internal doors and frames is a good suggestion,bearing in mind relative heating costs nowadays."

"It really depends on the type of house . If it is a new build house with no drafts then there is not much to gain by it. On the other hand if it is an older building then there is a much greater chance of drafts through out the building meaning the wheather strips would be of use and would help to stop any drafts . I hope this answers your question ."
