If a SNE door has insulation class 1, 2, 3 or 4, you may now designate it as insulated. This ruling has the platform KEGO done in December 2023 in response to complaints from homeowners. Factoring in this insulation value has a positive impact on the energy label to be issued.
Wood door manufacturers affiliated with GND use an assurance label found on the hinge side of the door. By scanning the QR code on the label, it is easy to read the insulation class of the door. In addition, all performance in terms of fire, smoke, sound and burglar resistance can also be seen. From now on, a door that falls in insulation class 1 to 4 may be included as proof of an insulated door in the recording protocol (BRL 9500).
The advice is to replace a non-insulated door with a 54mm door from insulation class 2 or better. The advantages are obvious: these doors have a higher insulation value and significantly reduce drafts. This not only has a positive impact on the energy label, it is also good for comfort and the wallet. Replacing the door is relatively easy and almost always possible in the existing wooden frame.
