Door Construction

Flat Panel Doors

The flat panels are manufactured from high performance materials, selected to suit particular applications.

They are tongued into grooves within the framings and are typically 13mm thick for FD30 doors.

These dimensions represent the minimum needed to achieve fire resistance but other panel thicknesses can be supplied.

Application:

Plaza
Strand
Eltham
Metro
Lexington
Clinton
Orient
Broadway
Rio
Napier
Astoria

Raised and Fielded Panel Doors

Charateristically raised and fielded panels are constructed from solid timber. The panels are tongued into grooves within the framings and are typically 32mm thick for non-rated and FD30 doors.

Application:
