Lightweight Solid Core Doors in Sydney

This innovative style of door brings a whole new light to lightweight doors. With its unique tubular core it significantly reduces the weight of the door whilst still maintaining the strength and reliability that you would expect out of a solid core door. All non-rated doors manufactured by Radiant conform to Australian Standard AS2688.

Features

01.

The tubular core reduces the weight from a standard solid HMR core door by 46%.

02.

The Moisture Resistance (MR) core provides the door with structural strength and exceptional flatness.

03.

Full coat internal contact adhesive forms a permanent bond for facings.

04.

Internal edge rails to all four sides means no visible joins on the door faces. MDF facing provides a smooth surface for final finishes i.e. paint.

05.

It can be used in an acoustic environment with the 35mm door reaching a 26db rating and 28db for a 40mm door.

06.

35mm or 40mm general purpose flush design is a moderate to high use door type, designed for heavy commercial / residential use.

Solid core doors reimagined:
What makes this material so lightweight?

Discover a modern take on solid core doors with Radiant’s innovative design. This lightweight door features a unique tubular core that provides the structural integrity of traditional solid core doors without the bulk.

Lightweight solid core doors allow for seamless handling during transport and installation, reducing strain on door frames and hardware over time. This design also enhances operational ease in everyday use by offering a smoother door swing that reduces wear on hinges in heavy-use settings. Additionally, the moisture-resistant core upholds the door’s integrity across different climates, making it a reliable choice for residential and commercial settings.

At the heart of this innovation is Radiant’s extruded particle board, manufactured by a special extrusion process — the first continuous production method for wood- based materials. Unlike traditional production methods, like pressing the standard particle board flat with inconsistent density, our method creates a tubular structure with consistent strength throughout. This process integrates hollow channels within the core, strategically reducing weight while preserving load-bearing capacity. Additionally, this extrusion method enhances the impact resistance of our lightweight solid core doors. They withstand high-traffic use without losing structural integrity.

Our innovative tubular core design

Efficient weight reduction

Solid core doors are traditionally heavy because they’re filled with dense material like high-moisture-resistant (HMR) board, focusing on strength and insulation. Radiant’s design uses a tubular core structure with evenly spaced hollow channels that reduce the door’s weight by up to 46%. This design makes the door much easier to handle, reducing the need for extra equipment during installation and lessening strain on door frames and hinges over time.

Moisture resistance for lasting integrity

The moisture-resistant (MR) core keeps the door structurally sound in humid or varying climate conditions. Prevent issues like warping and swelling that can affect traditional doors. This MR core preserves the door’s flat, smooth finish and structural stability over time, making it ideal for areas prone to varying environmental conditions, such as basements, kitchens or high-humidity commercial spaces.

Enhanced bonding and smooth finishes

We use a full-coat internal contact adhesive that creates a strong bond for the facings of our lightweight solid core doors. This adhesive application prevents common issues such as peeling, warping or detachment over time to keep the door’s surface and edges seamless. With premium MDF facings, the doors offer a refined and smooth surface that’s ready for final finishes like paint or laminates. Deliver a polished look that’s as durable as it is aesthetically pleasing.

Effective soundproofing without the weight

Installing fire-rated doors helps buildings meet various safety regulations and building codes, avoiding potential legal issues and fines.

Lightweight solid core doors are ideal for spaces where noise management matters. These include offices, meeting rooms, hotel suites and residential areas, where quiet surroundings are essential for comfort and productivity. With these features, Radiant’s lightweight solid core doors provide a balance of quiet and convenience in any environment.
