Abstract

A method of manufacturing a door stile includes bonding a composite edge band to a first side of a core and profiling the composite edge band. The edge band includes a hollow that is defined through the composite edge band to flex when compressed into the first side of the core. Profiling the composite edge band includes removing portions of the composite edge band that define the hollows.

Claims (26)

1 . A method of manufacturing a door stile, the method comprising:

bonding a composite edge band to a first side of a core, the composite edge band including a hollow defined therethrough to allow the composite edge band to flex when compressed into the first side of the core; and

profiling the composite edge band such that portions defining the hollow are removed to define a final profile of the door stile.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein profiling the composite edge band includes removing a portion of the core.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein profiling the composite edge band includes the composite edge band having a first profile along a first length of the door stile and a second profile along a second length of the door stile.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the second profile is shaped to receive a glass panel and the first profile is shaped to a finished profile of a door edge.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising bonding another composite edge band to a second side of the core opposite the first side.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , further comprising profiling the other composite edge band to define the final profile of the door stile, at least a portion of the other composite edge band having a profile different from the composite edge band.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein bonding the composite edge band to the first side of the core includes the composite edge band having a substantially rectangular profile.

8 . A door stile assembly, comprising:

a core having a first side and a second side opposite the first side; and

a first composite edge band bonded to the first side of the core such that the core and the first composite edge band have a generally rectangular profile, the first composite edge band having a length and including an internal hollow extending the length therethrough to allow the first composite edge band to flex when compressed into the first side the first composite edge band being configured to be profiled such that the hollow is removed.

9 . The door stile assembly according to claim 8 , wherein profiling the first composite edge band includes removing a portion of the core.

10 . The door stile assembly according to claim 8 , wherein the first composite edge band has a first profile along a first length thereof and a second profile along a second length thereof.

11 . The door stile assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the second profile is shaped to receive a glass panel and the first profile is shaped to a finished profile of a door edge.

12 . The door stile assembly according to claim 8 , further comprising a second composite edge band bonded to the second side of the core such that the core, the first composite edge band and the second composite edge band have a generally rectangular profile, the second composite edge band having a length and including the internal hollow extending the length therethrough to allow the second composite edge band to flex when compressed into the second side, the second composite edge band being configured to be profiled such that the hollow is removed.

13 . The door stile assembly according to claim 12 , wherein the first composite edge band has a first profile shaped to receive a finished profile of a door edge, and the second composite edge band has a second profile shaped to receive a glass panel, the first profile being different from the second profile.

14 . The door stile assembly according to claim 8 , wherein the core includes an inner phenolic layer, an outer phenolic layer, and one or more layers of wood disposed between the inner phenolic layer and the outer phenolic layer.

15 . A method of manufacturing a door stile, the method comprising:

bonding a first composite edge band to a first side of a core, the first composite edge band including a hollow defined therethrough; and

profiling the first composite edge band such that the hollow is removed to define a final profile of the door stile.

16 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein profiling the first composite edge band includes removing a portion of the core.

17 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein profiling the first composite edge band includes the first composite edge band having a first profile along a first length of the door stile and a second profile along a second length of the door stile.

18 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein the second profile is shaped to receive a glass panel and the first profile is shaped to a finished profile of a door edge.

19 . The method according to claim 15 , further comprising bonding a second composite edge band to a second side of the core opposite the first side.

20 . The method according to claim 19 , further comprising profiling the second composite edge band to define the final profile of the door stile, a portion of the second composite edge band having a profile different from the first composite edge band.
