Every Door is a Piece of Art
We apply a variety of innovative techniques to build the engineered doors. And while there are a number of ways to build a stile and rail wood door, we believe in the enduring quality of a door with engineered door parts like stiles, rails, panels.This adds strength and long-lasting quality while looking exactly as if they were constructed from a single piece of wood.
Wood veneers are thin layers of wood that have been sliced from a felled tree, before being glued together to form a solid and durable surface that can be used in a variety of ways.
Specially selected vertical grain cants are sliced for the stile and rail faces. The cants are run through a hot water bath to soften the wood fibers to obtain a smooth slice without tearing the grain. The resulting veneers are dried to a similar moisture content as the core material. By using these selected veneers, surface quality is enhanced.
We know that different projects call for different veneer thickness. As a standard, We use thick 1/16" veneers for all wood species. This thickness allows for multiples refinishes over the life of the door.
For projects that require a thicker veneer, consider 1/8" or 1/4". Simply let us know your project requirements up front and we can build exactly what you need.
The most requently used solid veneer is Black Walnut.

Pros:
Stability and Durability: Engineered veneers are less prone to warping, cracking, and shrinking than solid wood doors due to their construction process. This makes them more dimensionally stable over time.
Appearance: They can replicate the look and feel of high-end solid wood doors at a more affordable price. Veneers can be made from a wide variety of exotic and domestic woods, offering a range of colors and grain patterns.
Sustainability: In some cases, engineered veneers can be more sustainable than solid wood doors, as they can utilize smaller pieces of wood and reduce waste.
Uniformity: Engineered veneers often offer a more consistent appearance than solid wood, with fewer variations in color and grain.
Cons:
Potential for delamination: While less common, there is a slight risk of delamination (the veneer separating from the core) over time, especially if exposed to extreme temperature or humidity fluctuations.
Repair Challenges: Repairing damage to the veneer can be more challenging than repairing solid wood, as it may require replacing the veneer sheet.
Overall:
Engineered veneer wood doors are a great alternative to solid wood doors. They offer a combination of beauty, durability, and stability at a competitive price point.
