Building supplies shortage

[Tuerto]

I'm waiting on a new composite door from Endurance. Apparently the cassettes for the door have been held up due to Suez. I'm unsure...

That's bullshit mate. Most of us in the trade are using the 'Suez' excuse for not completing work or material shortage, i even told one customer that i couldn't get hold of their Vinyl Tiles because they're made in the Ukraine, and as everyone knows, the UK have stopped trading with that country due to the ongoing problems with Russia. Brexit is a winner as well.

We had an old double glazing half glass half white panel door didn't realise how easy it was to punch or cut through the bottom white panel

Yeah, it's just fire rated foam, although the same could be said of glass.

Top class installers, use panels with either plywood or steel in them.

depends on how much a punter wants to pay for a door, i suppose.
