I installed an Alicante style hardwood front door which I got when they were solid wood- not the chipboard cored type currently available. It is single glazed and now that the nights are getting colder, condensation is becoming an issue with senior management. It seems to have got worse since we had cavity wall insulation fitted a year or two back.
I am investigating the feasibility of installing DG units and wondered if anyone has attempted it. I see that current Alicante doors are available with DG units so it should be possible. The existing rebate is 18mm and the DG units available are 14mm thick which only leaves 4mm for putty and beading which is not enough. I have a router and I thought about making a deeper rebate but there is only 12mm to play with and could deepen it by
6mm. The top of the top row of glass fit into a channel rather than a rebate which will require more care with the router but it should be possible.I like my door and don't want to mess it up so any advice will be welcome. Senior management is looking for an excuse to get a new DG (plastic) door.
