Insulated door cores in Canada ?

[Weedwaka]

Anyone know where you can find insulated door core's in Canada or close to the BC border ?

For those that do not know, this is a waste product from the center of an insulated exterior door. They usually start life as a full door and centers get knocked out for windows etc.

I cant seem to find any locally.

Don't know about the lower mainland area of BC. Are there any door mfgs. around the area? I'm in SW Ontario and they are readily available here but we have a few door mfgs. around the GTA. I have even seen them for sale to farmers in a rural Home Hardware Building Center.

I need LOTS so it may be worth my while shipping them out.

What is the going cost on these out there ??

No idea. The ones that were used in my build were supplied by the contractor (Frey Building Contractors - www.freybc.com). I think they got them from a building supply in the local area - possibly Drayton - try www.marspan.com/hardware/index.php. You could also try contacting Home Hardware's HQ in St. Jacobs and ask them where to source them. I saw some signs in one of their stores near Wingham that was offering them for sale.

Under slab insulation.

Who needs insulated doors, I thought you guys in Canada were impervious to the weather?

We are but it dosen't mean out toys are.
I just went through the same thing I ended up phoning roofing compamies as well as they use the stuff on a flat roof. In the end I got mine from a salvage company. In the end it was well worth it it was a huge saving from buying new, so don't give up just expand your horizons to other sources.
I ended up with 80 sheets of 2'X4' 3" thick for $600, Enough for my pad, 16X22, and around the outside.
