In apartments, offices, and hotels, the entry door is a vital piece of infrastructure.
It provides security, sound control, and compliance with strata or building requirements. Solid core doors are the gold standard in these environments — stronger, heavier, and more durable than standard hollow core options.
What Are Solid Core Doors?
- Constructed with a dense particleboard or composite core.
- Available in plain paint finish, veneer, laminate, or custom upgrades.
- Built to handle daily commercial wear and tear.
Why Are Solid Core Doors Preferred in Commercial Use?

- Noise Reduction – Reduces corridor or street noise entering apartments and offices.
- Compliance – Meets strata and building minimum standards.
- Durability – Lasts longer, less prone to warping or cracking.

- Seals & Hardware – Drop seals, heavy-duty hinges, and commercial-grade handles/closers for full compliance.
Advanced Customisation
To deliver premium design flexibility alongside strength and compliance, solid core doors can be
further enhanced with:
- CNC Routed Designs – Precision machine grooves, panels, or patterns for architectural detail.\
- Timber Mouldings – Applied trims for traditional or decorative styling.
