Architectural Door Specifications

Flush Doors – 20 minute rating

Materials:

• Stiles: Laminated Timberstrand – 38mm X 43mm

• Rails: Timberstrand – 38 mm x 43 mm, extending the full width of the door to the finished edge.

• Cross banding: High density tempered hardboard or 48 lb. MDF, 3mm.

• Core: 28 lb. medium density particleboard.

• Finished edges: solid lumber to match face veneers, 20mmX 45mm Parveneer “T” edge, bonded to stile and cross band.

Construction:

Parveneer’s door construction is a two step manufacturing process which achieves a true sanded and bonded five ply door with a true AWI / AWMAC #I concealed edge (AWI Quality Standards 8

th Edition,

1300-T-7)

• Bonded core: Stiles, rails and cross bands are bonded to the core using a hot press. Matching hardwood edges are then installed prior to face veneering.

• Calibration: The door blank is then sanded to achieve uniform thickness.

• Face veneers are manufactured from carefully selected flitch stock. Sketch faces can be manufactured to simulate stile and rail construction or other configurations. Face veneers are applied to the door blanks in a second pressing stage.

• Finish sanding: 150 grit, ready for finishing.

• Machining: Parveneer doors may be machined for hardware according to customer specifications.

Factory Finishing: Standard finish is catalyzed lacquer TR2. TR4 (conversion varnish) and TR6 (catalyzed polyurethane) also available. Custom stains and topcoats are spray applied and cured in a heated air convection oven.

Fire Ratings: Parveneer flush doors as described above carry a Warnock Hersey 20-minute label for either neutral (UL 10B) or positive pressure (UL 10-C) applications. Maximum lite size – 1296 in

2, using Georgian

wire glass or Firelite in a rated metal lite kit. Face machining is limited to reveals with a 3mm (1/8”) depth, or inclusion of hardwood inlays. Door pairs may have rabbeted meeting edges in lieu of an astragal.

Imagine the good looks and charm of a veneered

stile & rail design incorporated into an

affordable fire rated door!

Parveneer’s 45 and 60 minute fire doors can be crafted to match the look of stile & rail construction at a fraction of the cost. Any design of

inlay is possible, up to the maximum dimensions shown on this typical elevation and moulding section.

Face veneers can be standard flush or full sketch face to highlight stile

and rail grain direction.

Solid hardwood inlays are installed into machined veneered fire rated cores. The standard inlay profile, along with dimensions, is shown

below.

Maximum door width and height (single swing) – 3/0x8/0 or 3/6x7/0

Maximum opening width and height (pairs) – 7/0x7/0 or 6/0x8/0
