•Hardboard doors are made of composition wood veneer, the least expensive material available.
•Casing is the trim around each side and head of an interior door. Casing covers the joint between
jamb and the wall.
•Finger joint trim is made from two or more lengths of wood joined together with a finger-like joint that
yields nearly as much strength as trim made of a single, solid piece.
•Hardwood doors are finished with a thin layer of true hardwood veneer.
•Lauan doors are finished with a veneer of Philippine hardwood from the mahogany family.
•Stiles and rails form the framework of a flush door. Stiles are vertical and every door has two; a lock
stile and the hinge stile. Rails run horizontally at the top and bottom of the door.
•Molded face doors have decorative molding applied to at least one side.
