Source for Passive House Door

alankchan|发布General Questions

I’m trying to find a way to find a single entry door to replace an existing door in my home in southern California with a nice passive house door but every US company I’ve looked into requires that have a 20-unit minimum or wants me to replace everything in my home. Same thing with international companies that won’t ship to the US and the ones that do have similar minimums. See screenshot of relevant area of the “contact us” page from Glo Windows. I have a modest 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home and don’t even have 20 windows and doors in my home to replace. What’s a low-end homeowner to do when I just want to do this over time and just want to replace as stuff breaks?

如果房主无法维护自己的房屋,这对于维护和/或被动房屋采用并不是很好。当房主打破单个窗口时会发生什么?他们是否必须更换整个房屋的所有窗户和门?

    尝试区分门:

    他们在昂贵的一面,我从他们那里得到的最后一扇门约为5k美元。但这是美丽而气密的。

    Canadian, not U.S., but very reasonably priced, although shipping costs may kill you. Imported from Poland.

    alan,

    Have you done any modelling to see whether using a good but not PH certified replacement makes any appreciable difference?

    根本没有建模。我没有与认证有关。

    It's just that I keep seeing "energy efficient" being thrown around without any actual R-values listed and it's all just marketing speak that turns it into zero meaning for me but that's a whole other ball of wax / nit pick about installers / resellers that try to "sell" homeowners on windows or doors. The average window and door reseller doesn't even know what PH is when I ask about it so that's why I'm turning to the fine folks here.

    我最后一次不得不更换一两个窗口以满足建筑代码时,我最终为推销员指定了自己的窗户。现在我正在看门,似乎很难独自找到。

      艾伦,

      Yeah, lots of greenwashing among suppliers with all the right catch-phrases.

      您可以尝试这家公司。同样是加拿大人,因此运输可能排除在内:

        马尔科姆,这是Innotech的回应:

        Thank you for touching base. We sincerely appreciate you reaching out and for your interest. Unfortunately, your request falls outside of our serviceable area and we are unable to provide you a quote at this time. Hopefully one day we’ll be in our area so thanks again.

        Sincerely,

      问题之一是出售门的方式。通常,它们被以板出售给当地的分销商,后者将它们挂在框架中并钻孔以锁锁。分销商还安装了天气剥离。对于门,最重要的属性是空气密封 - 这是由不是将其名字命名的公司决定的。因此,该国一个地区的砖石或捷德·温与该国其他地区不同。我认为这就是为什么他们的网站倾向于没有有用信息的原因,因为他们真的无法谈论细节。

    If you are looking for a mostly glass door, you may want to try a local fabricator that uses one of the European Aluminum systems.

    In my area Shueco was more costly that Reynaers. I contacted Reynaers corporate and they called me and put me touch with three local fabricators. I am currently working with one of them on supplying two entrance doors, a large lift and slide and window wall as well as all the window systems.

    They can make almost any size with passive house specs, with privacy glass, etc. Masterline 10 is the highest performing but Slimline 38 is more budget friendly. The performance of these units with triple glazed glass is quite high, but they are rather costly. An entire house build with the system costs more than the first house I purchased.

    It's not passive house, but I think it qualifies as "pretty good house" material. It's thicker than a regular door, specs say it seal better too.https://www.provia.com/entry-doors/embarq
