Engineered Veneer Doors
Offer the luxurious look of solid wood without the high cost
Interior solid wood hinged movable barriers bring warmth and add value to your home with the beauty of natural wood grains. The tones of tree species vary from deep saturated mahogany to the brighter lightness of knotty alder. Endless styles of wooden doors are offered to complement any home décor. Choose from traditional two-panel designs, rustic shaker styles, and the stylish modern sleekness of 5-panel mahogany doors with etched glass. Designed for your home, office, hospitality industry, and commercial use, a wood core door is known for better soundproofing and insulation compared to the hollow core. ‘Stain Grade’ means the doors are prepared to accept stain easily without needing additional prep.
Engineered Veneer Door are created by bonding a thin layer of real wood (veneer) onto a stable core, providing enhanced durability and resistance to warping. These doors are an eco-friendly choice, as they use less old-growth timber, and come in a wide variety of wood species and grain patterns to suit any design aesthetic.
Engineered Construction
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.
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.
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.

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.
