Door

A thermal and moisture resistance door having perimeter edges and interior and exterior sides, comprising:

• a framework defining the perimeter edges of said door, said framework including parallel opposite elongated stiles extending vertically and horizontally extended rails interconnecting said stiles;
• a series of panels secured within said framework to said stiles and rails;
• each of said panels comprising a wood core, an intermediate wood layer operatively attached to said core, a wood cross-banding layer attached to said intermediate wood layer, a vapor-barrier layer attached to said cross-banding layer, a second wood cross-banding layer attached to said vapor-barrier layer and an outer wood veneer layer attached to said second cross-banding layer, the wood grain of said intermediate layer and the wood grain of said veneer layer running substantially parallel to one another and the wood grain of at least one of said cross-banding layers running substantially perpendicular to the wood grain of said veneer layer;
• said stiles and rails consisting of a wood core, a wood cross-band layer attached to said core;
• a vapor-barrier layer attached to said cross-band layer, a second wood cross-band layer attached to said vapor-barrier layer and an outer wood veneer layer attached to said second cross-band layer;
• said core of each of said panels being elongated and said intermediate wood layer being elongated and tapered to extend beyond the other of said layers of said panel in order to form an end;
• said stiles and rails including wood receiving blocks to adaptingly receive said end of one of said panels;
• wherein the layers of lamination of said panels, stiles and rails provide strength to the said door to prevent warping of the door due to temperature differences across the door and said vapor-barrier layers in said panels, stiles and rails prevent warping of said door due to moisture absorption thereby.
