The stile & rail wood doors sold by TheDoorCompany.com feature the latest engineered construction methods for strength and durability. Mortise and tenon joints or fluted dowel pins are the preferred method of construction used to join the stiles and rails of the doors.

Engineered Stiles & Rails

The fingerjointed or composite core is better than solid wood because the offsetting grain patterns resist the tendency to warp or twist. One or two-piece outer edge bands blend with surface veneers so that the fingerjointed or composite core is not visible. One-piece inner edge bands are provided on select grade doors so that no fingerjoints show in the sticking.

Extra wide stiles available on many of the door designs allow for a variety of hardware options.

Engineered Innerbond® panels, are manufactured utilizing two laminated wood panel blanks with offsetting glue joints. When laminated together, the resulting panel provides extra strength and resistance to splitting. Hip-raised panels feature moulded edges and are available as Innerbond panels. Veneered, engineered panels also feature elegant raised moulding. Flat panels provide a classic craftsman style in the final door design.

All engineered stiles and panels are manufactured with water-resistant exterior Type 1 adhesives. Glueline performance is checked in a quality control program that assures glueline integrity. Tests conform to PS 51-71 for Type 1 adhesives.

The stile & rail wood doors sold by TheDoorCompany.com are warranted to meet the National Wood Window and Door Association (NWWDA) industry standard NWWDA I.S.6. Innerbond panels are further warranted against splitting through in any climate. See Warranties for more information.
