Hi,

I'm mid self build. Building close to passive level(mine will be 19.5kWh/m2/year for space heating).
My windows and external doors are all approx 0.8 u-value.
I'm currently looking for a front door, I'd like to get a hardwood door but as far as I can tell the u-value would be around 3.0, does this sound right?
Does anyone have any recommendations for suppliers or manufacturers of externally and internally timber clad composite doors?
Or failing that an alu-clad door supplier.
