Interior Door Question (lemmy.world)

Hey Friends!

I'm preparing to replace all the interior doors in my apartment (Chicago), and I am wondering if the laundry and furnace rooms require special doors.

Ideally, I would love to slap some solid core doors on there to reduce sound, but it's unclear to me if I need to install doors with ventilation, and if so, how much.

Does anyone know what best practices are here?

Thank you all <3

Find the studs, block out a rectangle of necessary size to mount vent grills on both sides. Essentially, make your own hole in the wall and add 2x4 to the side(s), top, and bottom. If you plan it right, you won't need to cut open the wall more than the finished hole size.
