Hi, can anyone talk to the issues of the off-gassing of MDF?

The OP wants to buy doors, not *** goods. If they have questions
about what type of MDF was used in the doors, they should contact the
door manufacturer and take it from there.

If the door is sealed with a vapor barrier paint there shouldn't be
any
meaurable outgtassing.

Read the first question again. Pretty hard to miss the OP wanted
information
on MDF off gassing and it is that is harmful about it.

You didn't even come close to answering that, but take me to task for
doing
so?

Kiss my ass ...

Are you always so sensitive? Sheesh.

I thought I did answer what needed to be answered - seal the door with
a vapor barrier paint. As to the rest, I'm sure the OP can Google as
well as you or I.

The driving force in the OP's questions is the contractor scaring her
with talk about outgassing from the MDF doors. I'm not sure how your
answer to a question that wasn't asked helps clarify anything.

You could have pointed her in the direction of
http://www.vtindustries.com/doors/ - a manufacturer of
urea-formaldehyde free doors (they ain't gonna be cheap), or the EPA's
page on formaldehyde http://www.epa.gov/iaq/formalde.html


Perhaps you should give up on being a moderator wannabe and concentrate on
trying to understand that by adding to the OP's knowledge regarding the
nature of the problem, they can contact the manufacturer of an alternate
product to find who uses the alternate product to manufacture
doors/widgets/whathaveyou's.

Tough concept .. but while you're working that out in your head, go ahead
and post your e-mail address so the rest of us can send our future replies
to you for approval prior to posting.
