I don't know where you're located, but in the U.S. this would be like a $5,000+ door, and it still probably wouldn't be as well made by the manufacturer. Good job.
@@pikubird Home Depot has insulated doors with custom 1/2" thick finish grade hardwood veneer plywood finished in a two-tone paint and stain design and high end integrated lockset for $800? Yeah no. Not even close.
Excellent workmanship with very smart choice for materials and professional result. Only concern is that according to building regulation in many countries, outside doors should open towards the outside to facilitate evacuation.
I'm delighted to have found your video. I will be making my own door too, foam core, wood surround, but with a layer of soundproofing mass vinyl and no window. Just like you I want a paneled exterior surface. I had only a few ideas of how to build this but now you've answered pretty much all my questions. Great video and really great looking door! Thanks! By the way, two years after you made the video, how is it holding up? Any changes to what you did since the door has had that much time to settle in?
Very nicely done. In my area it's difficult to find triple pane glass - double I can find. Some make their own by adding a 3rd sheet to existing double pane glass. I'm thinking of doing that but the third pane will be stained glass - and mounted on the inside (and removable for cleaning).
Nice job, diy seems to be the only option these days. Your doors would sell for over 1900$ now. actually, I look at the end product, this is not available at any price lol. especially the door frame!
Should have used Polyisocyanurate foam with the aluminum foil on both sides for thermal reflection. It's 100% better than white EPS foam, especially EPS with no foil. Good job otherwise.
Without a gap of 50mm from the foil it’s generally assumed that the foil doesn’t do anything. It can’t be reflective if tight against another material or covered in dust. There are several studies around this and a lot of building authorities require that the u-value assumed for foil backed is the u-value without foil.
@@Roomla come to live where i am, in Philippines, annually temperatures from +23 to +35 °C. That's why one need aircon with good insulation because electricity is very expensive here.
I like your work. I am carpenter myself and sorry to criticise but pine is never best option for external door. I always urge my customers to use hard wood like oak. Greetings.
