EVELYN ECO HOUSE

 
About the Project      Doors
Front door
The upvc front door is adequate though it could be to a higher specification.  I can see no justification in replacing it at the moment.

 

Back doors
The rear doors were single glazed and draughty so this was an area for improvement.  I discussed the possibility of replacing the small panes with double glazing but no one seemed to think that a very satisfactory solution in terms of energy saving.  Far better I was told, though I hate to waste a good pair of doors, was to get new ones.  I bought some from a local company, expensive but the opening was not a regular size so they needed to be made to size.  I was told the wood was from sustainable sources.  The old doors found a happy home when I put them on freecycle.
