Woodplex Doorcore is constructed with 3 layers of Barecore. Barecore has similar characteristics to finger joint laminated board but instead of just finger joint, it is arranged butt joint and press together with glues to make Barecore. This pressing process is done using a Barecore composer. The resulting Barecore is structurally sound and its composition contributes to the sturdy characteristics of the final Doorcore.

Doorcore is comprises of 3 layers of Barecore laminated onto each other in which the front and back layers are arranged vertical in direction and the middle is laminated horizontal. This concept of lamination is adapted from the structure of plywood whereby veneer grains are cross laminated at 90° angles.

In comparison to finger joint laminated board, this Doorcore structure and composition increases the strength and integrity of the overall panel. With 3 layers, it reduces the possibility of warping. The 3 layers of Barecore follows the engineering concept of plywood and are firmly laminated on to one another to improve the structural rigidity of the Doorcore. Simply said, more layers equate to greater strength structurally. Furthermore, having 3 layers lends itself to better nail-holding abilities.

In relation to production, finger joint laminated board will require more raw material due to overall lower yield compared to Barecore. This result in a lower production capacity hence pushing up production cost. Nevertheless, there are more aesthetics driven markets that require finger joint laminated board. However, if aesthetics is not the primary priority, Doorcore will be more structurally and a more cost-effective product. At the end, the Doorcore will be further processed and covered up with the lamination of door skins. The Doorcore in comparison is more sustainable and more economical.
