    Solid core flush doors are made using hard timber, hence the name. A combination of particle board, MDF, laminated door core, cross band, face wood veneer, block board, etc. is used to manufacture solid core flush doors. Stiles and top and bottom rails of more than 7.5 cm width are also present in the solid core flush doors. The frame is made of timber wood and hardwood lipping is done around the frame to impart more strength and stability to the door. The width of the lipping is always equal to the thickness of the core. Solid core flush doors are heavy and possess high strength. Due to high strength and good sound insulation, solid core flush doors are mainly used as exterior doors for homes and other properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
