I would be surprised if you haven't come across it; it is the stuff plastic drinks bottles are usually made from. I came across it as a material for vacuum forming clear rigid packaging. I didn't go ahead with the project, but ended up with a few flat sheets, which came in quite useful when making some splash guards. It bends quite well with a hot air gun. I presume most plastic material suppliers could source it.

Aha, now you put it in context, yup have seen it in the recycle logo on containers etc. Just had not seen it generally available in sheet form.
Oddly it is (kind of)! IIUC building regs require new builds to have flat access for wheelchairs etc, so presumably one has to bury the lip of the frame into the floor if one is to meet them, and use this type of door frame.
bingo ! you stick to diy, I'll carry on buying and doing up houses which previously had no DG or CH, modern kitchen, bathrooms, etc.
The message from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:
Very. The cedar windowframe has turned out very nice indeed, but we decided not to clad the whole of the inside with it as much would be hiding behind other stuff and wasted. Apart from the smell, of course.
The message from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:
I'm surprised they're allowed with the new disability access rules. Since we have at least two wheelchair using visitors, and the wife's wobbly anyway the back door will soon be ripped out and replaced with a home-made wooden one using a nice low-profile weather strip from this bunch...
The message from John Rumm contains these words:
If you can be arsed to read this...
Composite doors look like wood but have better security and (I think) thermal efficiancy eg
I'd guess the sort of house you buy to do up might not be the choice of many here, though.
