The material you select for your door design will determine the longevity, quality of the door, and style you desire from it. Solid wood doors and flush doors have always been the most common and used options to build a door, but a block board door is now a reliable option for home and designer styles that have strength, affordability, and design flexibility.

A block board door has all of the properties you want in a modern door — sturdy, a lightweight design, and a smooth surface for any finishing surface from laminates to paint. We'll assume that if you're reading this, you've had enough issues with warp, bend, or misdirecting doors. Learning how block board doors function will inform you of a better, long-lasting choice.

We will discuss everything there is to know about these doors — how they are created, the benefits of them, how to use them and why you should consider a Royale Touche block board door for your home interiors.

What is a Block Board Door?

A block board door is an engineered door, constructed using a block board — a type of wood-based panel created using wooden strips placed adjacent to one another between two layers of wood veneer. The upper and lower layers of this panel have moisture-resistant adhesive that is placed under conditions of heat and pressure and adhered to the wooden strips. The panels produce a high degree of dimensional stability in the block board door, which makes them resistant to warping, buckling, and twisting. Overall, the block board door has the characteristics of solid wood without the heavyweight component of solid wood doors that we expect and desire in their overall construction and performance mechanism. This makes them a great option for modern home interiors that need performance characteristics, quality, and exhibit an aesthetic appeal.

Block board doors by Royale Touche are characterized by precision engineering and high-quality materials to provide exceptional strength, stability, and resistance to termites allowing your doors to remain beautiful and strong for many years.

How is a Block Board Door Made?

There is a high importance placed on raw materials and workmanship in the manufacturing of block board doors as follows:

Wood Selection

The core is made from a selection of seasoned softwood or hardwood strips.

Core Assembly

Edge gluing strips side-by-side produces an engineered core with excellent strength.

Veneer Bonding

The core will have two layers of veneer on either side of the core to provide additional stability.

Pressing and Bonding

The core and veneer assembly is pressed under heat and high pressure using a strong phenol-formaldehyde adhesive.

Finishing

The doors will be sanded smooth and treated for termite and borer resistance followed by a polish, paint, or laminate finish.

The end result will be a solid, smooth and long-lasting block board door that performs well in any season without warping or bending.
