C O R E O P T I O N S R I B C O R E E P S C O R E H M R C O R E POLYSTYRENE HIGH CONTACT HOLLOW CORE P O L Y S T Y R E N E T O T A L C O N TA C T S O L I D C O R E HMR PARTICLE BOARD TOTAL CONTACT CORE Polystyrene rib core provides a cost effective method of increasing the strength of a hollow core door. The core is processed in a way that alternates the line of the grooves between the two sides. Greater contact between the surface of the core and the door skin leads to a much stronger, flatter, impact resistant door. As an alternative to a standard solid core door, Superior Doors Ltd provides the option of the Premium EPS Core. This is a high grade polyfoam core that enhances thermal and acoustic retention abilities as well as providing greater impact resistance. The EPS core does all this while being cost effective and easier to handle than traditional solid core doors For those who require a door with high impact resistance we offer the HMR Particle Board solid core option. The core in this door uses high moisture resistant board which create the ultimate in strength and durability. The Superior Doors flush panel door is simple and functional. Built with rib core technology to withstand the impacts of everyday life, it is one of the most robust doors on the market today. For extra sound and strength qualities Superior Doors offer the option of EPS solid core. The ultimate in strength and durability. An added benefit of the rib core is the flat door that is produced at the end of manufacturing. F L U S H P A N E L H I G H C O N T A C T H O L L O W & S O L I D C O R E Steel Reinforced Frame (Recommended for Cavity Slider) Pine Stiles 63 x 30mm Pine Rails 30 x 35mm Steel Box Section 30 x 30mm HMR Particle Board 100 x 30mm Although Superior Doors are of the highest quality we have raised the bar of benefits by making the Superior Door even more superior with the introduction of doors containing steel inserts. These doors have the usual 30mm thick timber frame with polystyrene core and are manufactured to withstand harsh environmental conditions or where the prevailing conditions dictate that a stronger and more robust door is needed. They are particularly suitable for use in areas where the ambient temperatures or conditions vary on each side of the door. Most interior doors are made using natural timber frames such as pine and in many instances timber tends to move in sync with the local environment. Classic examples would be where doors are used in an ensuite bathroom where there will be moist conditions on one side and dry conditions on the other side or another example could be the doors between the garage and the house where one face of the door is in a cooler area than the other face which is in a warmer area. Each side of the door sustains different environmental conditions. Doors within cavity sliding systems need special care. When preparing to install the lock the builder or owner often cuts away a decent chunk of the vertical door stile thus removing some of its structural integrity. Many cavity slider doors are in vulnerable positions such as laundry/wash areas, ensuites and places www.superiordoors.co.nz where the ambient temperature and actual conditions are different on each side of the doors. These doors are often only supported by the upper door track and are not secured by the usual three hinges found on standard prehung doors. To preserve the integrity of Superior s doors a steel box section measuring 30 x 30mm runs inside the length of the door between the top and bottom rails and is set back 163mm from the edge which will allow drilling for door hardware. The steel is available on one side or two sides dependent on the doors size and where the doors are situated. There is strong demand for oversize doors and it is recommended that steel inserts be included in all hollow core doors over 2200mm high and over 1000mm wide. The steel inserts can be fitted to doors with skins of 4mm (38mm o/a thickness) or 4.75mm skins (39.5mm o/a thickness) and 6mm (42mm o/a thickness) 3

C A RE A ND HANDLI N G Door Information: The standard Superior Doors door is constructed with a 30mm rail and 3mm door skin. After pressing and manufacturing the finished door is 36mm in nominal thickness. The standard door height is 1980mm and any other heights will be termed as a special product. Storage : Doors must be stored on a flat dry surface that is elevated from the ground. Doors must have a cover sheet on top while in storage to prevent direct sunlight from affecting the timber. Painting : Superior Doors recommends that doors are not painted in dark colours as this increases the heat absorbtion aspect of the door and can amplify the suns affect on the timber. A higher quality finish can be achieved through careful preparation of the door. Prior to application of sealer/primer coat all surfaces to be painted should be lightly sanded with a 320 grit paper. Installing : Once on site doors should be sealed and or primed as soon as possible on both faces and all four edges. Exposed areas of the door increases the opportunity for moisture to enter the wooden components of the door. Although primed doors have both faces primed it is recommended that all four edges are also primed upon arrival to site. It is recommended that standard doors are hung with 3 hinges. It is also recommended that solid chipboard and overheight doors are hung with 4 hinges. Flush panel and grooved doors have a label on one edge of the door that refers the builder to the lock block. 4 & 6 Panel doors have a lock block either side. Glazing : Building standards state that glass in interior doors must be 5mm toughened glass for this area of glass. Glass can easily be inserted after painting and finishing of the door with the super slot design. Hardware : Doors are not supplied with nor are they drilled for hardware. Alterations : Any cutting down of the doors that removes more than 3mm (standard doors only) from any edge will render the warranty void. We do not recommend altering the size of the door from the manufactured dimensions. FIVE YEAR WA R R A N T Y All doors manufactured by Superior Doors Ltd, are warranted to be of good quality, workmanship and material, free from defects which would render them unserviceable or unfit within 5 years of purchase. Superior Doors, subject to its terms and conditions of sale, agrees to repair or replace at its option any door found to be defective in the meaning of the warranty. No liability will be accepted for work such as hanging, painting, reglazing or other consequential loss. Natural variations of colours and textures and minor shrinking and swelling of components are a normal characteristic of wood and composites, which vary with seasonal humidity and are not considered defects. We try to ensure that the timber and other materials have been prepared to make them suitable. It is impossible to know all the circumstances surrounding every situation in which our products are stored and installed. Seasonal and geographic variations in atmospheric moisture may cause some shrinkage and expansion and therefore Superior Doors will not consider any of the following defects: (a) A warp shall not be considered as a defect unless it exceeds 5mm in the door. It refers to distortion within the door itself and not to its relationship to the jamb or frame in which it is hung. (b) Natural variations in colour or texture of the wood and other materials are not considered defects. (c) Minor variations in dimensions are not regarded as defects. The manufacturer will not accept responsibility or liability for any damage resulting from failure to adhere to the following conditions: - Interior doors should not be subjected to direct sunlight or in environments with excessively high humidity, wet areas or where a fire or smoke rated door is required. - Porch doors should be in a sheltered position and not be subjected to the unprotected exposure of direct sunlight and/or rain and other prevailing weather conditions and wet areas. - It is important that all interior and porch doors be painted in light colours to reduce the risk of heat distortion, which may cause warping. - Doors should only be stored or hung in dry buildings and not in damp, moist areas. They should not come in direct contact with freshly plastered or concreted surfaces. - As soon as possible after doors arrive on site, the entire door, including the top and bottom edges must receive two coats of paint or sealer to prevent absorption of moisture. - The utility or structural strength must not be impaired in the fitting of the door, the application of hardware, or cutting and altering of the door for any special detailing. This includes doors for use in cavity sliders. - Cutting and altering the door size is not recommended. A maximum of 3mm may be trimmed from any door. - All hollow doors must be hinged with a minimum of three hinges. - Normal "show-through" of frame components in doors shall not be considered a defect. - Semi-gloss or satin finish paints are recommended for all doors to reduce "show-through". In the rare event that you should need to lodge a claim we require that all doors be inspected upon arrival for visible defects and all claims should be lodged within seven days of receipt of doors and before doors are hung or treated in any way.
