| why is it taboo to hang two doors on the same frame?
if the frame is metal and bolted into the joists, it should be plenty solid.
i know the idea of decoupling the walls. my walls are all going to be staggered-stud.
but for about 17 square feet of area, i dont' think it would be such a project-killer to have two doors in the same frame. especially since the frame is metal, and each door is going to be hopped-up with extra linings of drywall.
when it's all done, the metal door/frame will be about 100 pounds and the other one about 50 pounds. i can't see how the common metal frame would be a significant resonance factor under these circumstances.
but i could be wrong. |
