Abstract
The following disclosure describes a wood-product based door or window component including a wood-product based core having opposing first and second surfaces and at least a first side edge. Overlaying at least part of the first surface is a first overlay structure that includes a resin-impregnated paper, and overlaying at least part of the second surface is a second overlay structure that includes a resin-impregnated paper. The wood product based core has an edge band attached to the first side edge, and the edge band includes a resin-impregnated paper. The edge band is attached so that a portion of the wood-product based core is between the resin-impregnated paper of the edge band and the resin-impregnated paper overlaying the first and second surfaces.
Claims43
A wood-product based door or window component, comprising:
- a wood-product based core having opposing first and second parallel surfaces configured to form portions of the front and back of a door or window, and at least a first side edge spanning the first and second surfaces in a substantially perpendicular orientation, where the first side edge has a groove formed between elongate ear members;
- a first overlay structure overlaying at least part of the first parallel surface, where the first overlay structure includes a resin-impregnated paper;
- a second overlay structure overlaying at least part of the second parallel surface, where the second overlay structure includes a resin-impregnated paper;
- and
- an edge band attached to the first side edge of the wood-product based core, where the edge band includes a resin-impregnated paper and where the resin-impregnated paper is disposed substantially within the groove such that the ear members of the wood-product based core extend between the resin-impregnated paper of the edge band and the resin-impregnated paper in the first and second overlay structures so that at least a portion of each ear member is uncovered by a moisture resistant paper.

- a first overlay structure means overlaying at least part of the first parallel surface for providing a moisture resistant barrier;
- a second overlay structure means overlaying at least part of the second parallel surface for providing a moisture resistant barrier;
- and
- an edge band means attached to the first side edge of the wood-product based core for providing a moisture resistant barrier;
- wherein the wood-product based core extends between the edge band means and the first and second overlay structure means, such that the wood-product based core is at least partially uncovered by the moisture resistant barriers.

A method for constructing a wood-product based door or window component, comprising the steps of:
- providing a wood-product based core having opposing first and second parallel surfaces configured to form portions of the front and back of a door or window, and at least a first side edge spanning the first and second parallel surfaces in a substantially perpendicular orientation, where the first side edge has a groove formed between elongate ear members, where the first side edge has a groove;
- providing an edge band having a resin-impregnated paper;
- overlaying the first and second parallel surfaces with resin-impregnated paper;
- and
- attaching the edge band to the first side edge so that the resin-impregnated paper is disposed substantially within the groove such that the ear members of the wood-product based core extend between the resin-impregnated paper of the edge band and the resin-impregnated paper overlaying the first and second parallel surfaces so that at least a portion of each ear member is uncovered by a moisture resistant paper.
