Manhattan Remodel & Cape Cod Affordable Project

Pre-Hung Affordable Doors Video

Bob points out that one huge aspect of affordability is doors, windows, and trim stock. He is joined by Lou Trottier of Martin Namco at one of the Mashpee, Massachusetts, affordable homes. Trottier explains the construction and benefits of a Jeld-Wen molded wood-fiber pre-hung door. This door comes pre-hung, pre-trimmed, and ready to install right out of the box. It is made completely from reclaimed wood fibers that are molded into skins to form the two faces of the door. Wood blocks behind the panels and a wood perimeter give it stablility. Jeld-Wen produces both hollow-core and solid-core molded wood-fiber doors. The solid-core version reduces sound transmission by 50 percent. The trim on these doors is primed, finger-jointed wood. The hollow-core Jeld-Wen door sells for about $85 including the lockset.
