Questions and Answers for Steves & Sons 64 in. x 80 in. Craftsman 3 Lite Arch Stained Mahogany Wood Prehung Front Door with Sidelites

A:  It is engineered wood. I have included the following to help you understand why the industry has gone towards engineered wood. Solid external doors, particular hardwoods like oak, will always have a premium allure to them. There’s an undeniable attraction to products with a solid hardwood construction, but they might not always be the best choice for your project. The door is made from engineered cores. This allows you to have the real look of wood and less maintenance of a solid wood door. Engineered cores are a more modern approach to door leaf construction. Multiple layers of timber are pressed and glued together in different directions to form the core material, with a veneer applied to the surface and lipping fixed to the edges. As solid doors are made of whole intersecting pieces, there is an inherent strength that comes from the construction. They are, however, susceptible to environmental changes such as variations in humidity and temperature. Exposure to factors like these can cause a solid door to warp or bow, making it twist and gradually lose shape. By having layers of timber running in different directions, an engineered core is able to evenly distribute any stress applied to it. This makes an engineered door far more stable than its solid counterpart. This modern construction technique also provides better thermal insulation than that offered by more traditional methods. Hope this helps.
