Question from lori

I need to add an exterior door to side of house. I am extremely chemically sensitive and need advice on alternative products that will be need and how to proceed. A cut must be made on the outside stucco to the interior of a bedroom for the door.

Also, I must do this on a budget and need to rent the room out due to the economy.

Will a solid wood door or steel door be less toxic?

I don’t want to create a new problem for myself.

Thanks so much.

Debra’s Answer

A steel door would be less toxic. We have a steel door for our front door here in Florida because it is so humid that wood doors rot quickly. Wood doors may be treated and need painting.
