Steel post structure dilemma

Streetfield
in General Construction Issues

Featured Replies

We have to install a front door with side light windows in an opening that has a cavity wall on one side and a steel galvanised post in the other (see photo)  Don't ask why! But the issue I have is both from an aesthetic and insulation point of view what can we do. Plan is to install Aluminium casement fixed side lights that will butt up to the post and then an Aluminium Composite door.

you want to wrap the full perimiter of the door with 100mm celotex type insulation and then fit the majority of the door into this insulated frame.
