Interior Doors | What’s Really Inside

hey everybody my name is ben baird uh we're out here at baird brothers sawmill today in canfield ohio we're gonna cut into some doors show you guys entry level doors all the way up to maybe some higher end doors so let me start with the hollow core door that's a more of an entry level lower end door and we'll cut into it and show you guys the benefits and disadvantages of it so the first thing we're going to do for you guys is we're going to put these things on a scale and i get a weight for you just so you have an idea of what each door weighs this door weighs roughly about 26 27 pounds but let's start we'll take about three quarters of an inch off this would be in case you got a new floor or a new rug and had to cut the door down to make make some more room so right here i'm marking it at a three quarters of an inch when you're at home doing projects like this doing home projects uh please keep in mind that safety is always our first concern especially here at baird brothers and we want to make sure that you as the viewers also being safe while you're doing these things so as you guys can see we took about um three three quarters of an inch off the bottom is still solid it still looks like a good door let's go ahead and let's cut a little bit more off uh we'll take about an inch off this time so as you guys can see on that last cut we did get into the hollow core part of the door this is why this is an entry level door here at barred brothers when we get orders for hollow core doors that need to be cut down to fit a specific size we would just simply cork this with a wood cork at home that may pose a little bit of a problem if you don't have the capabilities of doing that but that's what that would take to cork that door i really want to break into this thing though let's tear this thing off and see what the inside of this door actually looks like so kind of what i thought here as you can see there's really not much to this store they actually have styrofoam in here holding these two pieces apart from each other so there's really not much to this door as you can see it's actually pretty easy to break open you're not going to do this with a solid wood door and overall the solid wood is just gonna be a better product than a better long-lasting door let's go ahead and we'll jump up to the uh solid core door and show you the benefits of that and why that might suit you a little bit better all right so the the first thing i noticed about the store um it's a lot heavier i mean you can just tell the quality of it is way better than that hollow core door but let's go ahead let's get this thing up on the scale just to show you guys exactly how much more it is in that hollow core door so this one weighs about 42 pounds as you guys can see one of the benefits of the solid core over the hollow core as well is the sound you're not going to get sound it'll definitely act as a sound barrier compared to that hollow core door that's going to let a lot more sound in and out of the room at your end so let's go ahead we'll get this thing up on the saw for you guys we'll take three quarters of an inch off and then bump it up and show you guys the inside of the door so as you guys can see the bottom of this door is still solid um still a good door um we haven't breached into the middle of the door yet so let's go ahead and let's take a little bit more off and see what the inside of this door really looks like so the bottom of this door is still solid unlike on that hollow core door there's still a solid chunk down here so that's after our second cut um so at home if you were to if you were to cut this door down to replace a floor to add carpet or something you wouldn't have to worry about corking it whereas you do have to worry about that with the hollow core door so the next door we're going to talk about here is a uh it's a veneer red oak door definitely a very very good product whereas the previous two doors were molded doors they're more paint ready this is a more stain ready door it's about 49 pounds so it's definitely got more weight to it than the previous two doors i guess a disadvantage would be if you scratch the store it's pretty hard to repair because you don't have the actual red oak all the way through it's just a red oak veneer face with some sort of solid hardwood behind it so the bottom of this store just like the other doors still very solid a very good door as you can see here made in china i don't know if that means anything to you or not that's just where we happen to get these doors from if you're looking for a stain ready natural wood look door let's go ahead and we'll cut into this door like we did the previous stores [Music] so the end of this store you can just see the color change here this is probably pine whereas the veneer facing on this door is a red oak very difficult and very hard to repair because of the veneer facing on it you can't sand the door down like you would be able to do a traditional solid door so let's go ahead and we'll cut into this door a little bit more and see what the inside of the core looks like [Music] so once again this door it's going to look the same you can cut into this thing the whole way up it's never going to change you still have your solid wood the whole way through once again it's just not solid red oak you have your red oak veneer facing with a solid pine interior on that so now we're going to go over one of our beard made doors this is a solid door it's solid poplar the whole way through you can order this door in any species but today we're going to be cutting into a poplar door it's about 53-54 pounds so it definitely is a little bit heavier we'll go ahead and we'll put it up here and we'll cut into it to show you guys that it's solid the whole way through so with this store unlike the previous stores um you can order this in many different species uh you can order it if you want to if you want it paint ready it can come paint ready if you're looking for a stain grade natural wood look in your house we also offer many species that can get you that look we'll start by taking three quarters of an inch off and we'll work our way up again as you can see it's solid poplar the whole way through the rails are poplar the door is poplar it doesn't have that veneer face like we saw on the previous store so let's go ahead let's take a big chunk off here just to show you guys that it really is solid hardwood the whole way so i took a pretty good chunk off this time to really show you guys that's why this is your best option that's why we strongly recommend that you guys come out we'll show you all the doors the solid door is definitely the best store you might ask which door is best for me well i strongly recommend you to jump on our website learn about our product read about our doors call one of our salesmen come out to our showroom here in canfield ohio we'll make you a
