Hollow Core Doors – Affordable, Lightweight, and Practical

Introduction

Our Hollow core doors are a popular choice for interior spaces due to their affordability and convenience. In this guide, we explore their construction, sizes, and pricing to help you make informed decisions. Whether you’re renovating or installing new doors, understanding their features and variations will assist in selecting the best option for your needs.

Construction and Features

Standard Hollow core doors have an inner frame of either 32mm or 36mm, reinforced with a cardboard honeycomb filling. This design ensures a lightweight yet sturdy structure.

• A 32mm frame is used when finishing the door to 40mm thickness.
• A 36mm frame is used when finishing the door to 44mm thickness.

Manufacturers reinforce the inner framework with additional timber at hinge and lockset points. The outer skin is then glued and pressed onto the frame.

Material Options for Outer Skins:

MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) or Masonite Hardboard
Deep Molded Panels (Available in 2, 4, or 8-panel designs)
Veneers (Sapele, Okoume, Oak, Walnut, Beech, Ash, and other timbers)

Standard Sizes and Customization

Hollow core doors come in standard sizes:

• 762mm x 2032mm
• 813mm x 2032mm
• 900mm x 2032mm (Ideal for wheelchair access)

Recently, extra-height doors have gained popularity in modern builds. These typically measure 813mm x 2320mm or 813mm x 2400mm.

Key Considerations

While hollow core doors are affordable and practical, they do have some limitations:

Limited Sound Insulation – Due to their lightweight construction, they do not provide significant noise reduction. Consider alternative options for soundproofing.

Minimal Security – These doors are classified as light-duty (Class 4: Dry Interior) and should not be used as primary security barriers.

Indoor Use Only – They must be installed in dry, sheltered environments as exposure to moisture can damage the materials.

Affordability for Bulk Projects

Hollow core doors are budget-friendly, making them a great option for large-scale projects. Their cost-effective construction ensures affordability without sacrificing functionality.
