Wood-fiberglass hybrid panel door

摘要

A wood-fiberglass hybrid panel door featuring natural wood veneer permanently bonded to at least one side of a fiberglass door. The panel and the stile/rail portions of the fiberglass door skin for bonding wood veneers can be either one-piece compression molded construction or can be separately compression molded pieces joined together by mechanical or chemical methods. The two pieces of door skins are used to make a fiberglass door first. Wood veneer is then bonded to at least one side of the said fiberglass door through the use of a vacuum press. Wood raised molding or flush sticking is applied around the veneered panel to cover the veneer edges on the panel and/or stiles/rails. Wood raised molding or flush sticking is fixed to the door by mechanical or chemical methods.
