These doors are built to meet the Passive House criteria by increasing insulation thickness, reducing thermal bridging, and increasing airtightness with features such as magnetic and compression seals and three locking points. Passive house door with window inserts will require low U-factor windows with triple glazing.

The insulating value of doors is usually described by its U-factor. The lower the U-factor value the better. Passive House certified doors (including window inserts) must have a U-factor of 0.14 Btu/hr-sq ft °F or less.

You can literally hear the seals when you open or close a Passive House Door, delivering a whole new level of airtightness to the home. If you’re planning on building to Passive House standards, these doors are a must!

Passive House, originally Passivhaus from Germany, sets the bar for energy-efficient design. Compared with typical building codes, the Passive House standard achieves huge reductions in building energy consumption, especially for heating and cooling.
