Abstract:
A door comprising:a first outer skin;a second outer skin;a frame separating said first outer skin and said second outer skin to form a hollow space between said frame, said first outer skin and said second outer skin;said frame having a pair of spaced apart vertical stiles and a pair of spaced apart horizontal stiles;at least one of said skins having panels formed therein with each panel outlined by a raised molding at the interior surface of said one skin;a plurality of rigid space core fillers located in said hollow space, between said skins, each of said fillers being made from corrugated paper material, each of said core fillers having a length, a relatively narrow width and a relatively narrow depth compared to its length, each core filler being located in said hollow space and connected to said first outer skin and said second outer skin separated from said molding to form a support for said skins thereby holding said first and second skins a predetermined distance apart as determined by its depth;each rigid space core filler having a first elongated member and a second elongated member, said first elongated member being generally parallel to and spaced a predetermined distance apart from said second elongated member, said first elongated member and said second elongated member being oriented substantially perpendicular to said first outer skin and said second outer skin and a plurality of rigid cross spacers extending between said first and second elongated members, said rigid cross spacers having full length end faces abuttingly coupled to said first and second elongated members to determine the width of said filler, said rigid cross spacers having a length substantially equivalent to said predetermined distance and spaced apart from each other and oriented generally perpendicular to said first and second elongated members and to said outer skins;said rigid core fillers occupying a minor portion of the hollow space of the door.
