Applications: Retail / Commerical / Residential / Education

Benefits: Lightweight / Moisture resistence / Customisability of face finish / Variety of sizes available / Reduction of installation and transport costs

Balsa Door Core
We have been able to significantly reduce the overall weight of large doors by using lightweight Balsa as the core material. The doors are constructed with a Balsa core, framed with a 127mm Hoop Pine/MDF frame and then skinned with MDF faces.

Customers have the option of applying timber veneers, digital printing or painting the door faces.

By utilising the advantages of lightweight Balsa, we have been able to reduce installation and transport costs as well as reducing OH&S handling issues. The approximate weight of a 2100 x 920 x 40mm is only 38kg.

Falcatta Edge Glued Door Core
Falcatta Edged glued door core is a lightweight panel for commercial door manufacture. Solid Falcatta lumber is glued edge to edge to create a stable core product.

The single layer version is 27.5mm thick, whilst the 33/38mm thickness is a 3 layer construction providing more stability.
