Oh, Ive seen the inside of these before. One household argument and these doors shatter like glass 😑
How'd you know?!?!
Luckily not my doors. My house is almost a hundred years old. The doors are solid wood.
Here in India we don't anything other than rebar, cement and brick unless it's a door or window(steel, wood and glass only).... Cardboard/drywall, not a chance...
Yeah. Inside doors are made in sandwich style because why not? Saves materials and weight. Our outside doors and windows are solid wood or aluminium.
Yes! Here in England my castle is built from solid rocks. Though it does get a bit drafty and the barbarians outside are most unpleasant.
Yes about 1 metre thick as well 1850 solid outer wall i have noticed the doors like this video and i will hammer a few nails and filler wheres needed in some of them but buying solid oak wood doors isnt off the table yet
@@JackHudler I wonder what the Indians went all the way to America for
You're not allowed to call them barbarians anymore. It's "Scots" now.
Yea Pakistanis are very unpleasant
You have of course, delivered unto them, a firmly worded, but gentlemanly letter requesting that they, without delay, vacate the grounds?
Love the confidence when you say "they're made of cardboard". I felt that.

My interior doors are made like that.
That's nuts. All of my outer doors are thick, heavy, and made from solid oak or steel. The inner doors are all solid maple. Though my house was built over 100 years ago so...

Ya know.. like half our houses are brick as well lol
@@codygooch510 not really, though. perhaps in the northeast, old buildings would be built from actual bricks, and skyscrapers made of steel, concrete and glass, but most of the "brick" houses you can see in the South or the Midwest just have "brick" tilings no more than half an inch thick to make the house look cool from outside.

@@ERULINATOR what? That’s just not true lmfao.

@@dongertan3320 I live in Russia. I currently live in a 1969 brick apartment building. Can't hear my neighbors at all, except if they're inadequately loud (full volume music. But you hear them through the windows, not the walls).

People in America get mad and punch holes in their walls. People in Europe get mad, punch walls and break their knuckles
There was this guy at uni who one day just came to a practical with his arm in a cast and before anyone said anything he recommended everyone to not punch wooden walls.
I'm not surprised ! Better construction without cheaping out on materials and craftsmanship... we have to go by this work , even today
European houses still have plasterboard. It's just that modern homes are built so cheaply they use dot&dab instead of proper studded walls.
Like 7mm fist travel from plasterboard to brick.
And then cry when they realize they need new electrical in their walls 🤣
@@StanleyDarsh22 we run cable tubes in the walls, just pull the old wires out, run a fishtape through and pull in the new wires, couldnt be simpler
For those of you who think he is being serious: is just an interior door, not actually structural wood.
Still amazes me, interior doors here are made the same way as the outside door, solid wood always

Porcelain tiles+ reinforced concrete + block walls: a house without any renovations with almost 99 years
My grandmas house was made of mudbricks and it lasted 50 years. I am sure stone block houses last 120 years+. Even more if protected from weather. Some British Raj era buildings still stand strong after 250+ years here.
Must look like old shit inside then
@@ghg789987 🤣😂 bruh
1912 house here
Ottoman Masjids in the Balkans are hundreds of years old. They use stone and wood
I'm from Germany and have literally lived in a house that's older than the USA as a country are. And it wasn't even a big deal. The interior walls were partially made from straw and clay.
I'm not impressed, unless it was an original Visigoth settlement, then it's complete trash
As someone who just made a mud hut out of straw and clay, that sh*t holds up better than cardboard.

I never understood how someone could trip and hit a wall, putting a hole in it…
Now I do
Well assuming your walls are studded drywall (we'd call it 25mm plasterboard) you can fall through it.
Even if you live in a house made properly, from double-skinned brick wall, plasterboard is still plasterboard.
Now timber framed? That shit blows my mind.
@@royalgilpin4922 Dude. *Most* of the houses in the UK were built pre-1900s 🤣 it's telling that to you 100 years is some sort of accomplishment.
I'm not being derisory here, it's just that good masonry lasts.
@@royalgilpin4922 Dude, where do you think stone comes from? 😉
In my main comment I stated plainly that there was nothing wrong with lumber construction, it's just that all houses here are brick, so it's a very foreign concept.
In terms of performance, especially for our climate, I think brick is better. It retains natural heat and stays warm for longer, decreasing costs for gas / heat. And it's more thermally stable.
It's also better for harsh storms, and is fireproof, termite proof, and extremely durable.
Brick is more susceptible to subsidence, so I guess for dodgy ground, swamps etc, wood is the better choice.
In my view it's more a case of the right material for the environment. But the thought of living in a home made of timber frame still blows my mind.
@@GtsAntoni1 ya how crazy of a concept? I cannot believe that in a country with a insane abundance of timber that they would use it to build a home from!insane right?
@@GtsAntoni1 a wall filled with insulation will hold heat far better than a brick wall. Give me a break.
"They're made of cardboard!" 😂
That was quite a very climatic ending 😂😂😂😂😂
I was hoping the intro was a joke, and then my wishes were confirmed. All is well with the world now 😌
Europe building houses: "lets drill holes and fill them with cement and rebar so the house will be securely fitted to the ground!"
America: *sets down what is essentially a big cardboard box*
Yeah we don't use that for our walls
This is for doors, it's common in Europe too unless your house is old
@@vikzn1607 my house was built like 8 years ago and not one shitty door like that in sight. Gotta do it yourself if you want it done right (we got it built and designed)
@@Allan_Stone in Germany it isn't either.
Finland too we have solid wood doors mostly and buildings are tough as hell. Like everywhere else
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
*laughs in Her Majesty, The Queen’s English*
I like my 1930 built house with steel entry doors and original hardwood interior doors. Y'know, back when quality was what you paid for
Back then things would be paid in sheckles
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…
I can't imagine newer constructions being as good as they used to. Everything these days is about cutting costs.
As someone who does high end trim, you’re 100% correct, they will do anything they can to save 5cents. Depends on the builder and their track record also, if you buy a new home find out WHO built the homes in that neighborhood, look them up and do your research
Which is why we do cost plus
Would you pay more or less for a product with similar durability?
As an architecture student... Yeah... It's not much our choice anymore unfortunately...
Mẹ being a Carpenter what TomTom said is true in a way. But than you have to also add in the matter of material. Generally wẹ are more and more leading to sustainable building material with less impact on the environment. Also adding in the availibility of building materials such as wood and that.
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.

@Avocado Toast Rare Avocado Toast accident, so pure and innocent, we'll all miss him so much 😂🤣!
I don't understand why they're called damascus knives even though they're Indian.
Ya who is this guy he’s adorable
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 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 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"

Glorious wood house gang over here.
What a good video. Awesome job. Wow. Agree.
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%.
@@marine2tough Wood houses don't survive tornadoes. Also, I think that was a hollow core door he had in the video.

Solid rock. Here in Malta we have sturdy buildings some even still standing from the 16th Century.
My street in Oxford is over 900 years old. I don’t know how they built them so well but engineers still can’t copy it.
Not gonna lie tho these old British houses are laid out in completely idiotic ways, why can't we have sensible cubes like America lmao
Im sorry that this comment is off topic but I’ve never come in contact with another person who was Maltese besides my own family. That’s so cool!

When I saw how easily the saw got through I had to laugh. :D
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.
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 remember my parents watching images of hurricanes in the news and asking "why on earth do they keep building their houses with wood and drywall??"
Because people aren't taught to think more than 2 seconds into the future
Lobbies. A few key companies make a fortune at the money thrown at FEMA.
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.

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.

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..

Not only in MX. Everywhere in the world houses are building out of concrete. Only the US building cardboard houses.
A lot of internal doors in England are exactly the same. Veneer board front with honeycomb cardboard inners.

They are stable doors. Not good for sound transmission though 🙂

All of our doors are solid wood, thank goodness.

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.

Prue mahogany? What's your address lol
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.

@@specialopsdave Husband fell through a coffee table once, before I knew him (lucky for him)

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
@@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.
That's so American, having the choice to live in a 17th century house and living in a concrete modern place.
What I don’t like about the US is that they build their houses with bad materials like wood and cardboard and they don’t last that long and you can hear every single step that you take inside of the house and the worst thing is these houses cost lots of money 💰

Hi from Austria 🇦🇹
Yes, yes they are. Greetings from Germany
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.
Chris osh, I'm Spanish and those doors are not common at all. Maybe in the ghettos
The face he makes at the end makes it even better. Love this guy 😂
Awesome.))
That was honestly a very straight cut
Funny! Yes I (a white dude) worked home construction in Mexico for 6 years and they always asked me why we built our houses out of “cartòn” (cardboard). 😄
Haha!
Cartón (the "tilde" on the other side is french)
@@ivomo_ accent aigu is up /
Accent grave is down \
@@ivomo_ absolutely not, carton in french is writen without any "tilde" or accent.
@@marvinberwart I'm not saying "cartón" in french is written with any tildes, I'm saying it is written wrong in Spanish which is supposed to be the language it is written on. I'm Spanish, not french, thank you very much

No wonder your houses literally fall apart when a little bit stronger wind blows lmao
Yeah thoses pesky 250mph winds🤦♂️
@@OUTDOORS55 250mph winds? Try 50-60mph the vinyl gets ripped off and some roofs start to get torn apart as well. Most hurricanes don’t hit anywhere near 250mph wins, most 100mph + destroys all these plywood, cardboard homes in America.
You can build a very strong structurally sound house out of hard timber wood, but that will run you at least 500k+ and for that money they actually start making SOME walls out of cement and concrete in certain areas. USA is a fraud country and one of the most corrupt on earth.
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. 😛
Yeah most who see this video dont get the joke🙂
@@OUTDOORS55 oooh now I'm in on the secret as well. I feel special.
that explains all these unusual memes when some guy just pierces throw a wall or dors with his head
I don't think anyone can put their head through 2 layers of this material lol. If they did they'd be in big trouble. That shit splinters badly and doesn't break apart easily. I'd assume itd stab them All around the neck when it closes back on them possibly cutting arteries. Or I just watch too many movies.
Well it's good that one of as actually saw it happen and doest need to assume, also I'm being funny not educational I don't have to be correct
@@florkiler6242 I know. I was just being stoned XD.
Fucking another one, what is it with this place?
@@joeydigrado382 you watch too many movies it'll scratch you a little and hurt your head but I can vouch that one does live if they put their head through one
Damn, and to think I just finished building an entire house out of doors.
You made a point!!
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.
Totally right. Doors should be lightweight indoors.
@@fashnek Doors should be solid. So should the house's structure.
@@JSmedic1 You pay for all of it then 😂
Solid interior doors are a waste of materials and human effort. Their purpose is not to withstand elements, it is privacy.
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.
Dude...still killing it with the jokes
Good choice. Especially in tornado alley... 😂
I literally hate this misconception that properties in Britain are built better. Maybe at one time, Not now. Many ill, disabled in Britain forced to live in council properties built with asbestos tiles, and no insulation. Imagine being able to hear your neighbours using the toilet.
"Laughs in brick house"
Asbestos in council residences was banned ages ago.
As tragic as most of that is. The imagine being able to hear your neighbours using the toilet made me chuckle. That's basically every apartment building in the us.
Well in Sweden we are amazed about low quality houses in Britain as well.. 😉
@@williamdegrey It's what happens when you keep electing the same selfish parasites again and again. When will my country learn.
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 ❤️
I lived in Aberdeen for years and always joke about how grey it is. Grey skies and grey houses 😅
Usually the Peterhead is purple
@@johnnyjarrett8166 your obviously colorblind if you believe that tbh...
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.

And surprisingly, in a pinch, yes. Yes, you can.
We built our house from recycled bricks that are on average about 100 years old. It's also designed so it can be subdivided up into 3 apartments in the future when needed.
Uh, what? You built a house, from scratch, with the intention of turning it into a triplex someday.. where do you live?
@@Newt94 someplace without inheritance, I'll bet
@@lithuaniaball I work in real estate in the Atlanta area and I was genuinely curious why they would choose to do this since in my market something like that wouldn't generally make a lot of sense. Not really sure what you're driving at..
@@Newt94 that property developers are the primary evidence of humanity being a disease that kills this planet. why be happy with a perfectly functional domicile you could pass down to your kids when you could cram 3 families into it and sell it off instead. we manage to suck the resources from this planet *way* more efficiently thanks to people like you :)
@@lithuaniaball I couldn't agree with you more! I would much rather pass on my family home than make it into high density rental property! Over the last two decades I watched my home town become overdeveloped and exploited to a point where local people can't afford to live there anymore and I find it disgusting. I don't really understand why you're trying to make assumptions about the kind of person I am based on how I make a living but that's your prerogative I guess.
in china they make skyscrapers out of used corn cobs (legit)
For real. Entire city's collapsing. I'm actually surprised that more don't collapse during construction.
