Quality? Lol only on houses owned by the wealthy. Older homes were not built very well.. let alone many not even wired well when electricity came. Which causes many house fires still.
A lot of newer houses in the UK have those hollow cardboard interior doors too. I live in a council house and my doors are like this. I grew up in a Victorian house and the doors were all solid wood.
I've never seen a house in the UK made from cardboard like material like from America And doors are made like that but with thin and hollow wood to make them lighter and no just because doors are made similarly doesn't mean that the whole house is
I lived right next to a pile of million dollar McMansions for a long time. One day, a guy I knew who started up a security company went to one of the houses, and he did a demonstration of how easy it was to overcome the existing security system. He took a sawzall to the wall right next to the door. He got in under 3 minutes. The walls were just foam, tyvek, and stucco, with fiberglass insulation and 1/2" drywall inside. He got a lot of contracts that day.
@@marine2tough I really don't remember because it was more than 10 years ago. I do remember he did a full set of vibration sensors on all the windows and doors, and said it would prevent these types of penetrations. And I know he did camera installs and hosted remote monitoring, so probably that, too. Oh, and the house was getting renovated, which was why he was allowed to cut through the wall next to the door. I'm guessing the homeowner got all of the best security hardware installed.
I know! It's outrageous watching then "build" houses these days! When you actually know what you got it's kind of crazy what a lot of things are made of
It's economics. I haven't met a carpenter yet who would prefer to hang a hollow core door vs a solid core. It's the same time and effort. The difference is cost. And that is a budgetary issue. Everyone needs doors. Everyone wants to commission a custom designed and crafted solid wood doors. Very few can afford to.
This is insane. The walls of the houses in my area, and even public housing in my city, are all made of either concrete or bricks. People joke about how when youre homeless, you would live in a cardboard box, but this is literally living in a cardboard box, even after paying for it.
Concrete and brick crack and shatter with movement. Wood bends and flexes. Our houses are designed to withstand earthquakes and tornadoes and hurricanes. If you want to impress us with your building standards, build your houses out of steel. Watch your build costs go up 400%.
All I'm gonna say is, my old building, where my apartment is, that I'm renting out, literally tanked a BOMB to it's roof in the 1999 NATO bombing of my country. Direct hit, not a glance, not a miss, a hit. Yanks can call me back when your buildings and houses are capable of that.
@@Dominik189 friend pulled the pin on my grandad's grenade thinking it was fake and outside of furniture the room is unscathed. This is me calling you back.

It's nice to know you believe a hand held grenade equals a fucking airplanes paiload bomb dropped from almost half a kilometre from the ground.
It’s be really cool to find super old newspapers in the wall that had been used for insulation, but by now I’d imagine anything would’ve already been renovated from then and have boring non-time capsule insulation.
I renovated my house and found old newspapers stuffed into the rafters to hold the loose rock-wool insulation in place. The headline of one read, "Amelia Earnhardt Still Missing." A few days later, the paper disintegrated into ashes. I wish I'd protected it from oxygen.
@@ThirrinDiamond the newspaper was rolled tightly in a sealed crevice. The lignin in newsprint turns yellow/brown and eventually disintegrates via a simple oxidation reaction. Basic chemistry.
My mom rents a house from the 19 somethings. Her fatass pitbull was jumping around and fell off the bed and went into the wall. Stuffed with old newspaper balls. They were all too fragile to mess with and the ink wasn't legible anymore.
Coming from the Dominican Republic were we have an entire season just for hurricanes, I can tell you American houses are ridiculously easy to be blown away by the mildest storm or completely destroyed by the smallest fire. Unbelievable.
@@MwkyLadepending on where it is in the USA.. my house was built in 1916 they used shiplap and railroad ties for the majority of materials plus the foundation is literally Bois darc stumps😂😂 and I live like right on the border of Oklahoma so I experience my fair share of storms.
@@trying.348 I guess you're right, depending where. But nonetheless modern construction are build to be able to be easy demolished or/and to save cost for construction contractors. I live in New Jersey and there is a fair share of historical well structured buildings.
This always reminds me of Mike "The Situation" from Jersey Shore who purposely banged his head against a brick wall in an old italian building, fully expecting it to be cardboard, and ending up in the hospital with a concussion 😂
It’s mostly interior doors that are built like that, external doors and still built from solid wood or other solid materials. My front door is pure mahogany and it’s heavy.
I havent slept in 26 hours and I'm at that so tired I'm delirious stage and this video is fucking KILLING me. I'm sitting here watching it over and over just laughing my ass off. Fucking hysterical. My favorite video on the internet. For no reason at all.
Some of the insulation in my house walls is literally 1970s newspaper. The house was built in the 80's, so you can imagine how many pennies they're pinching today.
That was fascinating to me when I first started watching American youtubers. The only thing more fascinating than that was the fact that the guy I was watching (he was building his new house) was expecting regularly occurring tornados in his area. Then one day I decided to make a table from an old door and I quickly realized it was made of thin plywood and cardboard :)
@@DMTRVK Yeah, that's what I would've thought was better. That's how we build in Croatia and elsewhere in Europe. But I like the move towards ICF, it's just that all external walls should be built using it, not just the foundation or the first floor.
A lot of internal doors in England are exactly the same. Veneer board front with honeycomb cardboard inners. It's actually not as terrible as you think (unless of course you punch or kick it)
@@randybobandy9828 Did I say it was an exterior door?! I can't speak for everywhere, I've lived in southern Africa and the USA mostly. But I can say for sure that the quality of the interior doors in the USA is freaking garbage man!
@@Passionforfoodrecipes what are you going to do in a zombie apocalypse? Go hide in a bedroom behind this door and hope for the best? So ya im sure you assumed it was a exterior door.
@@Passionforfoodrecipes no you cant say the quality in the US is garbage because we have a thing called choices here. We can have any quality door we want in our homes. You probably lived in a rental where it's smart to put cheap doors in like this.
LOL! Excellent Alex, just excellent! After one night of partying with my friends, I came home a bit inebriated. I stumbled and fell going into the bathroom and put my hands out to break my fall... one hand went through the "cardboard" door... my wife was not impressed.
I believe the term your looking for is "hollow-core" It was made to be a sturdy, but extremely light weight component. Commonly found in interior doors in the states.
@@gktjkytjktyjtyjtyjkf You pay for what you get. As a handyman I have replaced a lot of hollow core doors because a kid accidentally kicked it or a cat scratched a hole in it.
As a new home builder I can say it's the studs that have become weaker. It's the type of wood. Trees just don't grow fast enough. Need thousands of studs to build a house.
The outside of german houses are stones but inside its often so called paper walls. Walls so thin i can year my neighbour taking a piss and i wake up when his alarm starts in the morning. I dont know why someone ever thought "oh, yes. This is perfect. We make the walls really thin, so no one will be able to fucking sleep. This is genius."
I traveled through Czech Republic once and stayed in communist housing. It was exactly like that. Could hear the neighbors talking, farting, pissing, everything. I guess it was convenient for the KGB to keep files on everyone haha
@@MrTruthAddict Dummy, you probably can't even tell a difference. Most (if not all, but let's assume human error or lack of resources) soviet blocs were built with thick walls in mind. I literally live in one, that is also not very populated, in like a small city (like 80k people, don't know your yankee standards). Probably even blocs in 1990 were built like that before some shitty foreign western companies or national companies trying to mimick western gentrification introduced those shitty fancy looking apartaments with thin walls. Literally Google "soviet blocks thick walls" and u will get scientific reports which tell u thickness in cm and even inches. Wouldn't be surprised if u were just duped some bullshit, being clueless anglo tourist. It's a tough world, a doggy dog world.
I could give you an educational history lesson on why and how the blocs came to be. And how in onset of rapid industrialization it was meant to satisfy the needs of the people (read about: countryside to cities migration because of industrialization etc). And it did, if you read about it - this type of housing accomodated for most of population (like 80%?). It's a really cheap price for them to be looking "the same" or "bland" (like anglos love to say). Now maybe they look more fancy but in my country alone, it id stated that we are in top rankings of overcrowded population, 41% ppl live in overcrowded places. And 40% respondents claim its one of the three most important issues facing families. I guess it was all about KGB eardropping on people and not accomodating basic human needs right? But shit, I am not being paid to educate some clueless anglos lmao haha.
@@Sourusophyexe the place I stayed in was an apartment owned by my friends in laws. Not modified in any way and looked exactly like it did during the Soviet Era. It was only 10 years after the wall came down and it was still very poverty stricken.
European craftsmanship and build quality is amongst the best of the best in world. It’s one of the truly proud things us Europeans are slightly arrogant about. Take it with a pinch of salt.
Don’t know about this. Living in Germany for over 25 years. Yes - the houses are all mostly solid construction. That’s expensive, and they are airtight. But: the new ones aren’t used for more than 30-40 years, and mold and mildew are a huge problem too. Germans have to open all the windows multiple times a day to keep from having black mold everywhere.
I used to live in a 17th century house. Ceiling height was just over 12 feet. It was a pain to heat. And when walking in the middle of the living room you could feel the floor bend up and down by about a quarter inch. A few years later I built a house with foot thick concrete floors. So nice. I actually put the insulation on the outside and then covered it with plaster and paint. A common technique in Europe. Works like a charm. Heating the whole house for about 50 bucks a month 👍
Putting the insulation on the outside wouldn't be a great idea here in tornado and hurricane country. But what they DO put up sucks anyway. If I can, I'll build myself an earthbag house.
@@grmpEqweer Funny part is german houses are probably way more tornado resistant than the typcial american house and we barely have natural disasters here just a few floods in some regions thats it xD
@@grmpEqweer no joke. Drive through Moore, OK and all those beautiful brick homes are just particle board and 2x4s with a facade to appear strong and look nice. Few have any real structure that could withstand anything over an F2.
Those crappy doors exist everywhere including Spain where I now live, they have been standard for interiors in the UK since at least the 70s. I have been in the construction and engineering industries since the late sixties. Heeeres Johnny would not need an axe to go through one of those doors! I worked on timber frame houses in the Gold Country in N.California for a couple of years, mostly renovating old historic timber houses from the gold rush days and they were surprisingly good, though a fair number were built by hard rock miners from Cornwall., some of the doors weighed more than I did.
That's weird, we're you in England, perhaps the newer/city parts, cos here in Wales 90% of all doors are hardwood, (that's because most of Wales is a 'historical site' and you have to put in the EXACT same stuff in that you took out, it's a massive headache just to get double glazing on the back, where no one can see!! The walls are brick, the doors are wood the roof is Welsh slate.
The original windows and doors from our 19th century home have been stored and kept safe by all the owners of the house. I had to move them once, they were heavy as all get out.
I work in construction. Homes in Texas are made of Wood, drywall, stucco, stone , and in some cases whole logs. This is an interior door, it’s a cheap door but it’s hollow because most people dont need solid wood doors inside their home. There heavy.
It's an interior "wooden hollow core door!" They are the very best choice of doors for closet applications whereas no heat nor sound muffle is needed. The cardboard inside them is called "Paper honeycomb infill," which is the same paper used inside car oil filters. I know this is snarky video, but 95% of the viewers won't grasp that specially the ones outside the US. 😛
Aberdeen Scotland and our homes are built from granite....I love the different colours😍I love the pink Peterhead granite when it is highly polished and sparkling ❤️
Stone is just beautiful. I grew up in the Cotswolds region of England, and all our villages and towns are built entirely of local honey-coloured limestone. I love how depending on where you are within the region the colour of stone changes; i.e., the further north you go, the richer and more golden it becomes, the further south you go (towards Bath), the softer and more porcelain it becomes. Then of course crossing the Oxfordshire Cotswolds border into the villages/ towns of Northamptonshire and Rutland; you introduce shades of pinks through to rich amber. Just stunning.

Bruh we're talking about the entire house not just the door, in my country their made of concrete
Don’t forget the wonderful lead paint!
Quality? Lol only on houses owned by the wealthy. Older homes were not built very well.. let alone many not even wired well when electricity came. Which causes many house fires still.
Quality is still what you pay for.
You can still get full hardwood doors… if you’re willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars on doors…
A lot of newer houses in the UK have those hollow cardboard interior doors too. I live in a council house and my doors are like this. I grew up in a Victorian house and the doors were all solid wood.
I've never seen a house in the UK made from cardboard like material like from America
And doors are made like that but with thin and hollow wood to make them lighter and no just because doors are made similarly doesn't mean that the whole house is
That's doors.....not walls.
I think that having air pockets in your door increases insulation but I'm not an expert on the matter
Gosh it would be awesome to have all solid wood doors
If u can afford to spend money u get the nice thick solid wood doors
I miss this guy. He made a review of the cheapest damascus knife on Ebay and it was the funniest damn thing I ever saw.

Glorious wood house gang over here.
I love how you took the joke and ran with it…. I have learned to be a better person today
Yeah. There are quite a few humourless comments from the many why just did not have a clue that this is far from deadly serious.
I lived right next to a pile of million dollar McMansions for a long time. One day, a guy I knew who started up a security company went to one of the houses, and he did a demonstration of how easy it was to overcome the existing security system.
He took a sawzall to the wall right next to the door. He got in under 3 minutes. The walls were just foam, tyvek, and stucco, with fiberglass insulation and 1/2" drywall inside.
He got a lot of contracts that day.
Yeah super easy 🙂👍
and what did he do about the alarm system?
@@marine2tough I really don't remember because it was more than 10 years ago. I do remember he did a full set of vibration sensors on all the windows and doors, and said it would prevent these types of penetrations. And I know he did camera installs and hosted remote monitoring, so probably that, too.
Oh, and the house was getting renovated, which was why he was allowed to cut through the wall next to the door. I'm guessing the homeowner got all of the best security hardware installed.
Car in UK hits house with car car still on outside of house. Car hits house in US now house has drive thru
How did he know he wouldn’t hit a live wire or some
I was already like
"He's going to say cardboard"
Yeah the joke was predictable, but still made me chuckle
With a straight face, too. Took a while to sink in. Well done !
I know! It's outrageous watching then "build" houses these days! When you actually know what you got it's kind of crazy what a lot of things are made of
It's economics. I haven't met a carpenter yet who would prefer to hang a hollow core door vs a solid core. It's the same time and effort. The difference is cost. And that is a budgetary issue. Everyone needs doors. Everyone wants to commission a custom designed and crafted solid wood doors. Very few can afford to.
I was expecting him to say „they are made primarily of air, not tissue paper“
This is insane. The walls of the houses in my area, and even public housing in my city, are all made of either concrete or bricks. People joke about how when youre homeless, you would live in a cardboard box, but this is literally living in a cardboard box, even after paying for it.
Concrete and brick crack and shatter with movement. Wood bends and flexes. Our houses are designed to withstand earthquakes and tornadoes and hurricanes. If you want to impress us with your building standards, build your houses out of steel. Watch your build costs go up 400%.

It’s be really cool to find super old newspapers in the wall that had been used for insulation, but by now I’d imagine anything would’ve already been renovated from then and have boring non-time capsule insulation.
I renovated my house and found old newspapers stuffed into the rafters to hold the loose rock-wool insulation in place. The headline of one read, "Amelia Earnhardt Still Missing." A few days later, the paper disintegrated into ashes. I wish I'd protected it from oxygen.
People actually do that!
@@wolfman231 👁👄👁 your walls dont have oxygen? Its probably more likely that it was the ambient humidity that ruined it
@@ThirrinDiamond the newspaper was rolled tightly in a sealed crevice. The lignin in newsprint turns yellow/brown and eventually disintegrates via a simple oxidation reaction. Basic chemistry.
My mom rents a house from the 19 somethings. Her fatass pitbull was jumping around and fell off the bed and went into the wall. Stuffed with old newspaper balls. They were all too fragile to mess with and the ink wasn't legible anymore.
I like this. So perfect

Some of the insulation in my house walls is literally 1970s newspaper. The house was built in the 80's, so you can imagine how many pennies they're pinching today.
That was honestly a very straight cut
☺♥☺ Totally love this!
That was fascinating to me when I first started watching American youtubers.
The only thing more fascinating than that was the fact that the guy I was watching (he was building his new house) was expecting regularly occurring tornados in his area.
Then one day I decided to make a table from an old door and I quickly realized it was made of thin plywood and cardboard :)
I grew up in north Alabama in an area known as tornado alley.
This is common for interior doors but never for exterior doors.
Isn’t it better to make it out of bricks then?
@@DMTRVK Yeah, that's what I would've thought was better. That's how we build in Croatia and elsewhere in Europe.
But I like the move towards ICF, it's just that all external walls should be built using it, not just the foundation or the first floor.
@@DMTRVK tornado dont care what it's made out of its going down
When everyone supposedly wants a new house every 3 years, you make a house that lasts 5 years. Its the American way
That house would not last a year in the northern states.
Who’s moving every 3 years? Only time I’ve done that is the military.
By American way do you mean it's built to last 3 years but gets shot down within 1?
With marriages that only last about an year..
Teehee.

A lot of internal doors in England are exactly the same. Veneer board front with honeycomb cardboard inners.
It's actually not as terrible as you think (unless of course you punch or kick it)
They are stable doors. Not good for sound transmission though 🙂
I actually like PVC doors. Sturdy and no painting needed.
All of our doors are solid wood, thank goodness.
The sound carries through them like everybody's business.
So essentially, its worthless as security
@@duckmeat4674 most doors are barely better than worthless as security when they have a solid wood core, so that doesn't change very much.

The outside of german houses are stones but inside its often so called paper walls. Walls so thin i can year my neighbour taking a piss and i wake up when his alarm starts in the morning.
I dont know why someone ever thought "oh, yes. This is perfect. We make the walls really thin, so no one will be able to fucking sleep. This is genius."

@@MrTruthAddict Dummy, you probably can't even tell a difference.
Most (if not all, but let's assume human error or lack of resources) soviet blocs were built with thick walls in mind.
I literally live in one, that is also not very populated, in like a small city (like 80k people, don't know your yankee standards).
Probably even blocs in 1990 were built like that before some shitty foreign western companies or national companies trying to mimick western gentrification introduced those shitty fancy looking apartaments with thin walls.
Literally Google "soviet blocks thick walls" and u will get scientific reports which tell u thickness in cm and even inches.
Wouldn't be surprised if u were just duped some bullshit, being clueless anglo tourist. It's a tough world, a doggy dog world.
I could give you an educational history lesson on why and how the blocs came to be. And how in onset of rapid industrialization it was meant to satisfy the needs of the people (read about: countryside to cities migration because of industrialization etc). And it did, if you read about it - this type of housing accomodated for most of population (like 80%?). It's a really cheap price for them to be looking "the same" or "bland" (like anglos love to say).
Now maybe they look more fancy but in my country alone, it id stated that we are in top rankings of overcrowded population, 41% ppl live in overcrowded places. And 40% respondents claim its one of the three most important issues facing families.
I guess it was all about KGB eardropping on people and not accomodating basic human needs right?
But shit, I am not being paid to educate some clueless anglos lmao haha.
@@Sourusophyexe the place I stayed in was an apartment owned by my friends in laws. Not modified in any way and looked exactly like it did during the Soviet Era. It was only 10 years after the wall came down and it was still very poverty stricken.

Don’t know about this. Living in Germany for over 25 years. Yes - the houses are all mostly solid construction. That’s expensive, and they are airtight. But: the new ones aren’t used for more than 30-40 years, and mold and mildew are a huge problem too. Germans have to open all the windows multiple times a day to keep from having black mold everywhere.
When I saw how easily the saw got through I had to laugh. :D
Dude...still killing it with the jokes
I used to live in a 17th century house. Ceiling height was just over 12 feet. It was a pain to heat. And when walking in the middle of the living room you could feel the floor bend up and down by about a quarter inch.
A few years later I built a house with foot thick concrete floors. So nice. I actually put the insulation on the outside and then covered it with plaster and paint. A common technique in Europe. Works like a charm. Heating the whole house for about 50 bucks a month 👍
Putting the insulation on the outside wouldn't be a great idea here in tornado and hurricane country.
But what they DO put up sucks anyway. If I can, I'll build myself an earthbag house.
Shut up 😂😂😂
@@grmpEqweer Funny part is german houses are probably way more tornado resistant than the typcial american house and we barely have natural disasters here just a few floods in some regions thats it xD

Those crappy doors exist everywhere including Spain where I now live, they have been standard for interiors in the UK since at least the 70s. I have been in the construction and engineering industries since the late sixties. Heeeres Johnny would not need an axe to go through one of those doors!
I worked on timber frame houses in the Gold Country in N.California for a couple of years, mostly renovating old historic timber houses from the gold rush days and they were surprisingly good, though a fair number were built by hard rock miners from Cornwall., some of the doors weighed more than I did.
That's weird, we're you in England, perhaps the newer/city parts, cos here in Wales 90% of all doors are hardwood, (that's because most of Wales is a 'historical site' and you have to put in the EXACT same stuff in that you took out, it's a massive headache just to get double glazing on the back, where no one can see!! The walls are brick, the doors are wood the roof is Welsh slate.
Or do you mean internal doors, cos I was talking about the front and back door. Inner doors, yeah they just slam if they're heavy
@@renagenic he meant interior. Front and back doors, here in America, are solid.
The original windows and doors from our 19th century home have been stored and kept safe by all the owners of the house. I had to move them once, they were heavy as all get out.

Solid interior doors are a waste of materials and human effort. Their purpose is not to withstand elements, it is privacy.
It's an interior "wooden hollow core door!" They are the very best choice of doors for closet applications whereas no heat nor sound muffle is needed.

Stone is just beautiful. I grew up in the Cotswolds region of England, and all our villages and towns are built entirely of local honey-coloured limestone. I love how depending on where you are within the region the colour of stone changes; i.e., the further north you go, the richer and more golden it becomes, the further south you go (towards Bath), the softer and more porcelain it becomes. Then of course crossing the Oxfordshire Cotswolds border into the villages/ towns of Northamptonshire and Rutland; you introduce shades of pinks through to rich amber. Just stunning.
