Transitional: Five-Piece Laminate Closet Doors & Drawers
Sample Transitional Style Closet Doors and Drawers
Transitional is a five-piece recessed panel door. There is an inside double bevel abutting the recessed panel, but the outside of the door panel is clean, square cut with no bevel. As a transitional piece, it is very versatile and works well with a variety of applications. All Closet Works five-piece laminate doors are constructed in a similar fashion to a solid wood door in that each has five pieces that are fused together, giving it an authentic look without the premium price tag of a natural wood product. Through mortise and tenon construction, the stiles and rails are glued and clamped around a center of 1/4″ thick, two-sided MDF (medium density fiberboard). Water-based glue is applied and one of our many laminate colors are membrane-pressed onto the component parts. Transitional is considered eco-friendly due to its CARB II compliant status and the fact that the MDF core is 100% recycled product. It is available in limited color choices including Chalk, Granite, and Iced Oak. Transitional doors and drawers are also available open frame — meaning they can accept inserts such as glass or mesh panels.

NOTE: All Closet Works doors and drawer fronts are 3/4" solid core material and have excellent durability. MDF is often more stable than solid wood and stands up better to changes in heat and humidity. Solid wood doors typically expand and contract both horizontally and vertically when temperatures and humidity rise or fall. Because of this, cabinets, doors and paneling made from solid wood require a higher level of care and maintenance. Laminate doors made from MDF are a great low maintenence, lower cost alternative to wood — and they do not expand or contract.
