One should note that the WDMA
standard does not require a bonded
core and one can manufacture a
door incorporating a 7-ply (PC7)
configuration to meet a manufacturing
spec. A 5-ply fabrication (PC5) on the
other hand will almost always include
a bonded core. If in doubt, be sure
to check with your manufacturing
resource. Why is this bonded edge
also important? We need the structure
of our core component to carry the
weight of the door over a lifetime of
operation as all the hardware for a
door to function is generally attached
on the two lengthwise edges of the
door. The bonded edge provides
strength, structure and screw holding
capabilities.
SANDING AND CROSSBANDING
Next, our fabricated core component
is machine sanded to thickness before
moving to a crossbanding operation
and face application. Crossbanding is
generally a man-made composite layer
(HDF) that covers all the joints created
in the fabrication of the structural core
component while providing a smooth
uninterrupted surface for bonding of
the finished face materials be it wood,
plastic or metal. HDF (high density
fiberboard) materials are available in
1/16 " , 2.3 mm & 1/8 " or 3mm thickness
dimensions. Throughout production, the
manufacturer is paying close attention
to component thickness so that when
the final finished face is applied, the
door meets target dimensions of final
door thickness (1-3/4, 2 " or 2-1/4).
Finally, a face is applied. The
door then moves to be machined
for hardware and then to the bench
sanding station or is simply assembled
as a blank for further processing by
the millwork supplier, Doors can be
provided finished or raw depending on
job requirements.
John Daiek is the owner and
operator of Daiek Woodworks,

fabricating hardwood cabinetry,
furniture and millwork, as well
as pursuing the manufacture of
custom Flush Doors, Stile and
Rail Doors, fire rated doors along
with monumental and difficult
millwork fabrication as a partner
for woodwork manufacturers
around the country for products
they may not produce as a part
of their everyday manufacturing.
Daiek Woodworks has been an
AWI manufacturing member
since 1993 and is currently a
Silver Level AWI sponsor.
