Helping someone out with this... their back door has a panel in

Any thoughts?


UPVC, Timber or Aluminium ?.

If UPVC, then insulated panels are available but cost more than
a proper DG glass unit.


If aluminium, then there are *loads* of aluminium decor panels
insulated with polypropylene piled up at scrap yards all over
the place.


I bet they don't get resold :/ for low rise housing where they're appropriate.
