Taylors Doors and Frames bring you the next generation of solid core doors. Taylors Doors and Frames use a lightweight Albasia core which is easy to handle and hang.
Solid core doors are edged with an internal 25mm solid timber edge rail to all four (4) sides with a selection of door facings dependant on the finish required. Our standard range of door facings include;
- Paint Grade Ply (sheet thickness 3.6mm)
- Duracote Tempered Hardboard (sheet thickness 3.2mm)
- MDF (sheet thickness 4mm)
The Albasia core used in the manufacture of our solid doors comes in three (3) standard thicknesses;
- 28mm (core for a 35mm solid core door)
- 33mm (core for a 40mm solid core door)
- 38mm (core for a 45mm solid core door)
Dependant on the facing required the finish thickness of the door will vary. See product data sheet.
The following table outlines the approximate finished door thickness based on the various standard facing options.
