Solid wood vs veneer — what is the difference?

We produce both constructions. Our standard wooden door uses solid wood stiles and rails with an engineered MDF/HDF or finger-jointed pine core, faced with natural veneer. A 100% solid wood option is available for premium interior doors, where the entire leaf is kiln-dried oak, walnut or ash.

For most projects we recommend the veneer-over-engineered-core build: it looks identical to solid wood, is more dimensionally stable across humidity swings, and costs 20-30% less. Thickness options are 40, 50 or 60 mm with 25-45 dB sound insulation and a thermal transmittance of 1.5-3.0 W/m²·K.
