Frequently Asked Questions
What are moulded panel doors and what does Windsor Plywood carry?
Moulded panel doors are interior doors with a moulded fibre (HDF) face that simulates the appearance of a traditional raised panel wood door. Windsor Plywood carries moulded panel doors from Jeld-Wen and Masonite in hollow and solid core constructions, in standard 6-panel colonial, 2-panel, and shaker-style profiles. They are the standard interior door in most Canadian residential construction.
What is the advantage of moulded panel over solid wood panel doors?
Moulded panel doors are dimensionally stable because the HDF face panels do not expand and contract with humidity changes the way solid wood does. This prevents the paint cracking along panel joints that can occur with solid wood panel doors. Moulded panel doors are also significantly more affordable than solid wood construction and maintain a consistent appearance across the door face.
Can moulded panel doors be stained?
No. Moulded HDF faces are designed for painted applications only. The HDF surface does not accept stain in a way that produces an attractive wood appearance. For stained interior doors, select solid wood or real wood veneer-faced door products in the species of your choice. Confirm with Windsor Plywood staff whether a specific door model is paint-grade or stain-grade before purchasing.
What is the difference between hollow core and solid core moulded panel doors?
Hollow core moulded panel doors use a cardboard honeycomb fill between the face panels, producing a lightweight door suited for closets and lower-traffic interior spaces. Solid core doors use a dense wood composite fill that provides significantly better sound attenuation and a more substantial feel. Solid core is recommended for bedrooms, home offices, and bathrooms where sound privacy matters.
What sizes are moulded panel doors available in at Windsor Plywood?
Windsor Plywood carries moulded panel interior doors in standard residential sizes including widths from 24 inches to 36 inches and standard heights of 80 inches (6-8) and 96 inches (8-0). Non-standard sizes may require special ordering. Both slab and pre-hung configurations are available. Contact your local Windsor Plywood location to confirm current stock of the specific size, style, and core type required for your project.
