Solid wood compound door is the door made of two or more materials, externally bonded with MDF and solid wood veneer, made after high temperature hot pressing and uses solid wood lines for edge banding.

Meanwhile, solid wood doors have good sound absorption, so sound insulation effect is better. What’s more, the wood grain texture and color of solid wood doors will be more real and natural.

 

The door core of solid wood doors is mostly high quality white pine, and wood veneer on the surface. Since white pine is low density, light weight, and easier to control the moisture content, thus the weight of the finished doors is lighter, and not easy to deform and crack.
