    Hi. I am already getting a fair amount of condensation on my two external panel doors on chilly mornings (on the panels themselves). Is there any harm in insulating the panels,if the edges are sealed to the door?
    The doors are chunky douglas fir,the panels being 22mm thick. They are stable doors,top part 2g argon 16mm gap,and hardly any condensation yet,but the bottom panels have been pretty wet some mornings. Worst affected is east facing, other west facing and not so bad for some reason.

    I could make some doug fir panels to fix over existing recessed panels giving a 15mm gap to fill with....
    Bubble foil,carpet underlay,celotex cut down to 15(horrible job),something reflective, or just a gap vented/unvented??

    Is it worth it? Any ideas welcome

    Thanks,

    Jules

    I'd insulate, you could also get some softwood dado rail or architrave, machine a rebate on one edge and create a picture frame or single sided bolection moulding to hold another panel, to fill with insulation. If you're anywhere near York I can give you a piece of rigid but easily cuttable 20mm insulation board.
