Abstract:
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.
