Melamine doors can be made in different thicknesses upon request, and the thickness is determined by the factory, and the color of the wood veneer varies according to the type of wood used in the door filling.
Wooden door cores
When manufacturing the door and after selecting the two outer layers of the door, the inner core is chosen, which gives the door its required weight and durability. There are three main types of door cores:
- Half cell
These cores are manufactured using paperboard or fiberboard, and are an ideal alternative to solid doors, as they are of high quality, have high thermal insulation and are light in weight.
- Tubular shape
This type is characterized by high lightness, as it is lighter than solid panels by 60%, it maintains quality, but with a lighter weight, and is used in doors with thin surfaces.
