Finally, The New Back Door

After a few month's wait, the new back door arrived and was installed yesterday. The back door goes to our merpeset, balcony/terrace where we have the clotheslines and set up the succah. It's also large enough for children to play or to just sit outside. Since that door faces south, which is the direction that here gets the most sun, wind and rain, we needed a door suitable to the challenge. Top notch insulation is a requirement for us, and this door is made from the best materials.

I had ordered it in the summer when we were redoing/renovating our kitchen. It's state of the art, and the insulation is top notch. I went to the factory/workshop in nearby Sha'ar Binyamin to Hi-Tech Windows and spoke to Chaim and his staff. They are multilingual, Hebrew, English, German, Russian. Phone 02-6565575.



Once I realized that the old door had to go, even though I knew that I wanted their quality, I checked other places. One thing they offered, which I didn't see anyplace else in the area, is the internal blinds, between the two thermal glass windows. I don't need an additional curtain or blinds. It's controlled by magnetic knobs.

And immediately, once it was installed the house felt more comfortable. No drafts, and we can control the sun's on a hot day. We also got a screen door from them, so we'll be able to keep the door open without allowing in the flies and stray cats.

The staff that came to install the door was very experienced, professional and polite.
