Attaching insulation to a door.

How thick should my walls be, should I float my floors (and if so, how), why is two leaf mass-air-mass design important, etc.

Attaching insulation to a door.

Post by JohnGardner »

Guys,

I need to attach some rigid insulation to the back sides of my doors (inside the double door cavity)

I will wrap the insulation in cloth but I am a bit stuck how to actually attach this to the door so it stays there when the doors are opened and shut the whole time. I also have pull handles in there that ned to be navigated around some how!!

Has anyone had any experience with this?

I was thinking abaout building a 50mm timber frame that the insulation would sit inside that I could screw to the door?

You can see where I am talking about with the red X's

Thanks

I'd just glue them :)
It's pure for absorbsion so you might also make a little frame like the panel traps. add cloth for estethics.
