New member, help required

[Brendan]

Hi all,

 

We are nearly three years along from starting what should have been a 4-6 month Enerphit standard renovation of our 1961 home in Bedfordshire.  The builders we employed haven't really engaged well with the energy-efficiency measures, they don't really like learning new ways of doing things and their quality control seems to be set at "that'll do."

 

I am left with lots of jobs to do myself.

 

One of these is to replace a lovely new Internorm triple glazed door with an FD30 rated, very heavy (and expensive), Passivhaus doorset. I wondered is there a "for sale" or "swaps/exchange" section on this site, or can someone recommend a good place to find this?

 

Really I'd like to find someone who would like my Internorm door, can help me remove it and then I can get on with installing the FD30 door in its place.

Would you be so kind as to post a link to the replacement door, please? I know some members have struggled to find PH rated products in the past and the information may be of use! Thanks.

Thank you for the link.

 

This is where I got my FD30 Passivhaus doorset.  I think mine was about £5k, so definitely not a budget option, but about the only fire-rated Passivhaus doorset I could find.  Then unless you're fitting it yourself, it is very difficult to find someone who wants to fit it (I've not had any luck yet).
