20090249716 | IMPACT RESISTANT DOOR SKIN, DOOR INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN IMPACT RESISTANT DOOR SKIN FROM A PRE-FORMED DOOR SKIN - An impact resistant door skin, a door including the same, and a method of manufacturing an impact resistant door skin from a pre-formed door skin are provided. The method includes the steps of providing at least one preformed door skin and applying adhesive to a rear side of the at least one preformed door skin. A fiberglass mesh mat is pressed onto the rear side of the at least one preformed door skin. Then, chopped glass fibers coated with adhesive are sprayed onto the rear side of the at least one preformed door skin using a chopper gun to form a layer of chopped glass fibers on the fiberglass mesh mat. The performed door skin may be a molded door skin having at least one recessed panel formed therein. | 10-08-2009 |
20120159855 | METHOD OF MAKING ANNEALED DOOR SKINS AND COMPOSITE DOOR ASSEMBLIES, AND RELATED ARTICLES - A method is provided for making an annealed door skin or composite door assembly. At least the door skin is formed of a composition comprising a thermoset binder and fiberglass. The door skin, alone or in combination with other parts of a door assembly, is subjected to annealing to make the annealed door skin. The process of annealing comprises the step of heating the door skin, alone or in combination with other parts of the door assembly, above the glass transition temperature yet below the thermal degradation temperature of the thermoset binder for a sufficient amount of time to cause release internal stresses in the door skin, then the step of cooling the door skin. | 06-28-2012 |
20120325399 | IMPACT RESISTANT DOOR SKIN, DOOR INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN IMPACT RESISTANT DOOR SKIN FROM A PRE-FORMED DOOR SKIN - An impact resistant door skin, a door including the same, and a method of manufacturing an impact resistant door skin from a pre-formed door skin are provided. The method includes the steps of providing at least one preformed door skin and applying adhesive to a rear side of the at least one preformed door skin. A fiberglass mesh mat is pressed onto the rear side of the at least one preformed door skin. Then, chopped glass fibers coated with adhesive are sprayed onto the rear side of the at least one preformed door skin using a chopper gun to form a layer of chopped glass fibers on the fiberglass mesh mat. The performed door skin may be a molded door skin having at least one recessed panel formed therein. | 12-27-2012 |
20130199694 | METHOD OF MAKING ANNEALED DOOR SKINS AND COMPOSITE DOOR ASSEMBLIES, AND RELATED ARTICLES - A method is provided for making an annealed door skin or composite door assembly. At least the door skin is formed of a composition comprising a thermoset binder and fiberglass.

20140053489 | FRAME REINFORCEMENT TO PREVENT WARPING - A frame includes a pair of stiles and a pair of rails. A first stile has a first top surface, a first bottom surface, a first exterior surface and a first interior surface. A second stile has a second top surface, a second bottom surface, a second exterior surface and a second interior surface. First and second rails are joined to the first and second stiles. A reinforcement member is joined to the first interior surface. | 02-27-2014 |
20140260080 | REINFORCED DOOR SKIN, REINFORCED DOOR INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME - Reinforced door skins, a door including one or more of the reinforced door skins, and methods of making the reinforced door skins and door are provided. The reinforced door skin as made by providing a reinforcement backing having a fibrous substrate layered with a solid-state thermoplastic hot melt adhesive, pressing the reinforcement backing and a preformed board having a door skin shape against one another at a temperature above a melt temperature of the thermoplastic hot melt adhesive and at sufficiently high pressure to conform the reinforcement backing to the door skin shape of the preformed board, and cooling the thermoplastic hot melt adhesive to form a reinforced door skin, the thermoplastic hot melt adhesive fusing the fibrous substrate to the preformed board of the reinforced door skin. | 09-18-2014 |
