What Are Engineered Wood Doors?
Engineered wood doors are crafted by bonding multiple layers of high-quality timber, forming a strong, stable core. This innovative method results in doors that outshine traditional solid wood options. They’re resistant to warping, twisting, and cracking, even as temperature and humidity fluctuate.
These doors typically use sustainable timber for the core, while the outer layers showcase a variety of beautiful wood veneers. This clever construction allows for larger sizes and diverse designs without compromising integrity. As a bonus, these doors offer excellent soundproofing and insulation.
