Laminated Veneered Lumber (LVL) Doors
Flush Panel Doors with a solid laminated veneered lumber (LVL) core. LVL is a high-strength engineered wood made by the bonding of thin pine wood veneers together under heat and pressure. This makes for a robust and high-density material appropriate for both indoor and outdoor application. The core is surrounding by a timber perimeter frame of 35mm stiles and rails. This frame is constructed from KD Hardwood or Finger Jointed Pine.
The LVL Advantage
Laminated Veneered Lumber hosts a number of beneficial properties including:
- High strength material. Among the Solid Core options, LVL stands alongside Blockboard as the highest strength core in terms of structural build. This is a positive for resistance to bowing and warping as well as a protection against impact and security risks.
- High moisture resistance. The makeup of the core is suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms or even sheltered outdoor application.
- Lightweight build. LVL offers the lightest construction among all solid core options.
- Minimal natural flaws. The layered build of LVL reduces natural flaws typically associated with solid timber such as shakes and twists which impact the wood’s overall durability. This means that LVL is not only stronger, but also less prone to shrinkage and warping.

Skins
Options for the skins fitted to both faces of the door leaf. Choice of skin composition determines properties including moisture resistance and paint finish.
Extras
Internal Frame (RHS)
An internal metal frame to combat bowing in oversized doors. Recommended for doors exceeding 2400mm height or 1200mm width.
Mullion
A mullion framing component may be fitted to Flush Panel Door Sets for the fitting of a sidelight. This is an excellent means of letting natural light flow between rooms.
Edge Strips
A protectant measure against damage and degradation to the door leaf's edges. Particularly of use if the door is finished with a veneer or laminate as Edge Strips protect finish's edges from peeling.
Vision Panel
A window fitted to the door face for visibility between rooms. Options available for glass finish and thickness.
Ventilation Grille
A grille fitted into the door's face to allow for airflow between rooms. This is a support of a building's HVAC systems, ensuring appropriate airflow and minimising air conditioning costs.
