Solid core construction

Designed for durability and beauty

Flush solid core door panel for Dorsis Durus and Dorsis Fortius frameless doors.
Dorsis solid core door

Each panel is a 5-ply (painted doors) or 7-ply (veneer door) solid core door sandwich. Engineered to support tall doors up to 137" without warping and to accommodate additional cladding and custom panelling.

Ultra smooth finish

The skin of the Dorsis door is an ultra smooth ¼" (6 mm) MDF board providing durable basis for high-end smooth finish – which you won't find in common dual MDF assembly solid core doors.

Excellent acoustic performance

Each door slab we supply is using double-layer lightweight MDF boards to ensure both rock-solid stability for tall doors and excellent acoustic performance, so that you don't hear sounds.

5-layer durable paint

Dorsis provides painted doors because site-painted doors never match the quality of factory finish. For most projects we use 20% gloss, with an option for high-gloss. We use 5-layer polyurethane-based paint process.

Adjustable straightener

Your door slab will have a vertical tensioning rod to allow serviceability. Should the door get out of plane, you can adjust the tensioning rod and bring the door back to plane within a few days.
