X-ray doors styles & ranges
Timber veneers
Our wide range of veneer species provide natural beauty and character of timber from around the world.
Crown cut, quarter cut or rotary cut options are available for most of our veneers.
Laminates
High pressure laminates are available in plain colours, woodgrains or patterns. They provide high resistance to surface scratching and impact damage.
The face of the door leaf is complemented with hardwood lipping’s, which can be exposed, concealed, or finished with our very popular S-rad details.
PVC
PVC is ideal for doors that require very high resistance to impact damage. The 2mm-thick material absorbs general knocks, while the through colour masks surface scratches.
For our encapsulated doorset range, the PVC fully encapsulates the door leaf faces and edges. Across the rest of our doorset range, the face of the door leaf is complemented with hardwood lippings, which can be exposed, concealed or finished with our very popular S-rad detail.
