From fibreboard to composite
honeycomb cores for custom-built doors

This article is a case history on the use of a unique composite honeycomb
core to replace fibreboard cores in high-end, custom-made residential
wooden doors. The first application was an oversize door for a walk-in
cooler in a residence, where the weight of the door was more than halved
by the change in cores. This was very important since the cooler-facing
side of the door was exposed to cool/dry conditions, while the exterior
(exercise-room-facing) side of the door was exposed to warm/humid conditions, which could have caused dimensional stability issues.
enstür Windows and Doors, a
manufacturer and direct retailer of
high-end custom-built residential
wooden doors and windows, has begun
replacing fibreboard cores in its doors
with a unique composite core produced
by RhinoKore Composite Solutions
(Armstrong, B.C., Canada). The composite cores offer a number of benefits, the
most important of which is more than
halving door weight, which eases handling and installation at the construction
site, plus brings the carry-over benefits
of mass decompounding, such as being
able to use smaller and lighter hardware
to hang the doors. Additionally, the new
cores improve dimensional stability and
thermal insulation (their R value is 3.15
to 3.19 per 2.5 centimetre thickness), and
they also proved to be a drop-in replacement during the manufacturing process
without the need to modify anything,
including the adhesive.
The collaboration began at the recommendation of a local builder who was working
on a residential construction project
where Fenstür was asked to produce a
custom interior door for a walk-in cooler.
The homeowner, an avid hunter, wanted a
46
cold room with a hidden door to hold game,
food, and wine. The unique oversize door
is designed to blend into the wall when
closed, hence it features concealed hinges
and a removable spindle that functions as
a handle. The side of the door facing the
inside of the cooler is finished in birch
wood to match the cooler interior, while
the outside (exercise-room-facing side) of
the door is covered with hackwood to
match the floors and walls in that room.
Temperature
and humidity differences
The door was built before the exterior/
exercise room was panelled with hackwood. The wood for that side of the door
was brought to Fenstür's shop and
A unique composite core was first used on a custom door for a large walk-in-cooler at the home of an avid hunter
who wanted a cold room to store game, food, and wine. The custom-build door is designed to blend into the wall
when closed.
