Corinthian have a couple of ranges of internal doors that are labelled semi-solid but have what they call "CoriTech" construction. That means that the centre is a mixture of MDF and polystyrene. It has the same noise reduction rating as a solid door, isn't as expensive and weighs slightly less. Not an ad, really...I just have done a lot of work on our design to stop noise travelling between rooms, with a music room designed in, a daughter that sings and a son that plays drums and listens to really loud music. It's all had to be taken into account and these doors are the best I could come up with. They're going on all the bedroom doors.
Their web site lists them as $165 per door but our builder is getting them and charging us about $140 ea. installed.

Hi, I was looking to replace all my bedroom doors with "CoriTech", for acoustic reasons, and I came across this post.
If you installed them could you please help me with some information? I'm interested to know:
- how did it perform in time?
- did you have to change the door jambs as well, for the CoriTech doors?
- what type of hinges and how many did your builder use to install them?
I currently have hollow core doors 820x2040x35mm installed with 3x89mm hinges each and I was wondering if I could just replace the doors, keep the jambs, reuse the hardware and just add one extra hinge.
Tks.
