Double glazing timber front door.

Page 1 of 1
Hi all,

Just completed part of our selections and am unhappy about my front door. We want one of these ( or similar )

http://www.bunnings.com.au/products_pro ... spx?page=3

In a size of 2360*1020. However it seems that you can't get the glass double glazed. I am doing the rest of my ( small ) house with double glazed windows and really want the front door to match. As a minimum I want 8mm glass purely to reduce sound transmission.

The selection's girl rang the supplier and even though in the back of the book they do double/triple glazing, its only on one of there doors. Has anyone seen the door I am after with thick glass or double glazed?

Thanks
What about a UV cut reflective tint instead.

I think the issue is the thickness (or lack thereof) for double glazing a door.
It the same here. The standard doors of the shelf are a pathetic 40mm thick. Not good for DG or a good multi point lock. Better are the Euro style doors which come in the same designs to choose from but with a decent thickness of 60-70mm.

Not cheap as Bunnings but lasting value !!
Thankyou very much.

Bunnings was only for an example anyway.
