Our environmental doors are a creative and important alternative to standard door construction. This unique product line uses wood materials that lumber mills typically discard by burning. Our doors are made from a reformed product, known as medium density MDF, to create door panels that accept our beautiful design work. Executive Door is proud to be part of the solution in eliminating the burning of wood waste. Environmental door panels do not require the harvesting of even one additional tree. 3, record 6, English, - environmental%20door
