Tru-Stile has again showed why they are a leader in the MDF and Wood door industry with their new announcment. TruStile is pleased to announce an improvement to their stain-grade wood door construction that will enable them to offer FSC certified wood doors by late 2009. This will make TruStile your single-source provider for premium, stile and rail “Green” doors in both MDF and most stain-grade wood species.

As of Monday, July 6th, they began transitioning their stile and rail core “TruSpec” material to an advanced and FSC certified LVL (laminated veneer lumber) made of douglas fir. In addition to being FSC certified, the new LVL core outperforms their current TruSpec core. Their wood door panels will continue to be constructed with an MDF core to prevent panel shrinkage and cracking.

After a substantial engineering review and thorough product testing, they are confident that the new LVL core material will make their premium, furniture-grade wood doors even better. The new LVL has been proven to be an extremely effective material for leading exterior window and door manufacturers like Andersen Windows and Kolbe & Kolbe as well.

Only the elements of nature can craft the beauty of vintage wood.  Skilled craftsmen transform reclaimed timbers into flooring and siding unequaled in beauty and quality.

I recently met with Tracey Rappaport (president of urban woods company) at a trade show in Dallas. They buy and sell re-claimed timbers and hardwoods for re-sale in board footage for use in building doors, cabinets, and trim mouldings as well as nominal boards (1×4, 1×6, 1×8, 1×12) for furniture, cabinets etc. I am contacting her to have her come and check out our custom mill and see if we can add their products to our offerings.
