Door Build DetailsA pair of beefy 4.25” stiles runs down both sides of every door. The stiles are made of laminated strand lumber: one of the strongest, straightest and most stable engineered wood fiber products available. Beautiful, finely defined wood grain: that’s another special quality about our doors. We use NVD technology that allows flawless and consistent replication of a real wood grain to be executed on all elements of your door system. All of our doors are insulated with high density, CFC-free polyurethane foam (between 2.2 – 2.5 lb of foam to be exact) for efficiency and noise abatement, and to diminish energy loss and sound leakage. |
Engineered Stiles
True square-edge design offers an attractive wood door appearance while permitting easy field trimming. The engineered stiles run the entire height of the door on both the hinge and lock sides, providing superior rigidity and high resistance to thermal bow.
The Process
The door-making process begins by hand-selecting the most desirable pieces of wood to build a real wood door. Once the door is completed, a silicone casting is used to pick up all of the fine details of the wood grain. The casting is then used to transfer the wood grain texture into a door mold. The mold produces a fiberglass skin that is used to create a brand-new door, complete with random grain depths and all of the natural characteristics of a real wood door.
The final product is a fiberglass door that is virtually indistinguishable from a real wood door.
