Question:

what doors to use for a boiler room?

We have a boiler in a hallway/room area towards the back of the house. We need to replace the doors the enclose the area. right now that are wooden Louvered doors. Do i NEED to use those kind since they are pretty hard to come by? im thinking if i use normal doors then it will get insanely hot back there when the boiler is running. Also it will trap heat back there instead of spreading it to other rooms.

Answer:

No I do not polish but I do keep it very clean. I hate a dirty house.
Boiler needs air to flow into the room, If it forms a vacuum it will starve for air and not work well. Replace the door and place a vent in the door. Can buy them at a home store and it looks OK. Most home stores will have the door and the vents. Pick the size you want and you are done.

Look in a building supply stores or the door stores. They are NOT hard to come by.
