Abstract

A thermal and moisture resistant door comprises a perimeter framework with a laminated skin glued to the interior and exterior sides of the framework, with an insulative core material therebetween. Laminated panels are secured to the skin on one or both sides of the door to provide the desired decorative appearance. Each skin and panel includes at least one cross-banding layer, a vapor barrier layer, and an outer veneer layer. Each panel is routed or molded such that an intermediate wood layer is visible, while the remaining layers of the panel are substantially concealed.
