Construction

A wood door is not just a slab of wood. Wood doors are often called stile and rail because of the individual components that come together to make up the door. Stiles, rails, panels and mullions are machined with great accuracy and attention to detail to ensure a perfect fit. It takes skilled craftsmen many hours to build doors that live up to our quality and aesthetical standards.

JELD-WEN® Authentic Wood Doors are constructed with beauty in mind and lasting performance at heart. Traditionally, wood doors were made using stile and rail components machined out of solid lumber. Wood is a living organism that expands and contracts based on changes in temperature and humidity, and the bigger the piece, the more it moves. Many older wood doors show signs of these “changes” with warped stiles or split panels. JELD-WEN Authentic Wood Doors feature an “engineered” core construction with premium wood veneers on top for the best performance and stain finish quality, as well as matching solid wood sticking and edgebands for an even stain match.

With JELD-WEN’S Authentic Wood Doors, your doors are truly reliable to the core.
