Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

General Questions

​

We manufacture a wide range of solid core doors, including:

  • RibCore Hollow Core Doors (high-contact polystyrene core for strength)

  • EPS Solid Core Doors (lightweight yet durable, high-density polystyrene core)

  • Moisture Resistant (MR) Solid Core Doors (enhanced durability & water resistance)

  • Steel Insert Solid Core Doors (reinforced with steel for extra strength)

  • Oversized Uni Doors (2200Uni & 2400Uni SteelX1 & SteelX2) (for large-scale applications)

  • Custom and Made-to-Order (M.T.O) Doors

General Questions

​

  • RibCore features 42% glue contact for improved bonding, making it stronger than honeycomb cores.

  • EPS Solid Core offers 98% glue contact, making it even stronger and better for insulation & soundproofing.

4. What is the difference between RibCore and EPS Solid Core?

​

Steel Insert Doors contain pre-galvanized New Zealand steel reinforcement, adding extra rigidity, strength, and impact resistance—perfect for high-traffic areas, industrial use, and security applications.

5. What makes Steel Insert Doors different?

​​

MR (Moisture Resistant) Solid Core Doors are designed to resist swelling and warping in humid environments, but they are not fully waterproof. They are ideal for areas with moisture exposure, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.

6. Are MR Solid Core Doors waterproof?

Skin & Finish Questions

​​

We offer skins in the following thicknesses:
✔ 3mm (lightweight)
✔ 4mm (standard)
✔ 4.75mm (stronger, better paint finish)
✔ 6mm (higher impact resistance)
✔ 9mm (premium durability & smoothest finish)

7. What skin thickness options are available?

​​

Our UV Pre-Primed skins use an ultraviolet-cured primer that is:
✔ Solvent-free, formaldehyde-free, and VOC-free (eco-friendly)
✔ Moisture-resistant & scratch-resistant
✔ Provides a smoother, superior paint finish

8. What is UV Pre-Priming, and why is it better?

​​​

V-Groove detailing is available only on doors with 4mm or thicker skins to ensure sharp detailing and structural integrity.

9. Can I get a V-Groove design on any door?

Installation & Maintenance Questions
