Hello,
We have ordered a nice Hörmann front door, which we plan to have installed in about a week by a carpenter using the traditional installation method—not a building permit/planning permission installation with sealing tape, but sealed with expanding foam. For a building permit/planning permission installation, I would have had to pay around €400, which exceeds my budget.
Of course, I want the front door to be installed airtight regardless. Are there any manufacturers of expanding foam that you would highly recommend for this purpose (perhaps Würth or Ceresit two-component foam for door installation)?
Or would you generally advise against the traditional installation method here?
Best regards,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
Regarding your question, I can only recommend having the door installed according to current industry standards. Any contractor who does not do this is making a serious mistake. Tradespeople are actually obligated to follow these standards.
The term "RAL installation" is actually not the right description here. The door just needs to be installed according to specific guidelines. Since the energy certificate for buildings is becoming increasingly mandatory, you shouldn’t try to save every last penny here. The additional costs can often be offset fairly quickly through savings on heating expenses.
Best regards,
Peter
