Hardwoods
We offer a wide selection of hardwood timbers available in a variety of finishes, such as oil, lacquer, and stains in varying sheen levels, or primed for on-site top-coats.
Please note that for FD30 and FD60 doorsets, the timber must have a minimum density of 510kg/m3. Some timbers, such as ash and beech, though dense, are not suitable for FD60 applications. For further advice or samples, please get in touch. Additionally, glazing beads should be manufactured from timbers with a minimum density of 640kg/m3.
Veneers
Our range of hardwood veneers also comes in various finishes, including oil, lacquer, and stains with different sheen levels. Our laminated doors offer a selection of hard-wearing and easy-to-clean heavy-duty options, complete with a choice of softwood or hardwood frames.
The EDSL Group offers a wide choice of veneers and laminates. Laminates are available in plain colours or woodgrains. For further advice or samples, please get in touch.
PVC Wrapped
Our comprehensive range of PVC wrapped doors, also referred to as hygienic or fully encapsulated, is designed for environments where ultimate hygiene is crucial. The high quality and proficiency of our PVC wrapped doors make them the first choice for pharmaceutical companies, medical and healthcare facilities, and industries needing to comply with food hygiene regulations.
Every component of our PVC wrapped doors, from the core to the frame and hinges, is specially designed to ensure the highest hygiene standards. The facing materials, such as GRP and polyethylene, are easy to clean and resistant to harmful agents and bacteria, making them perfect for hospitals and healthcare facilities where reducing the spread of bacteria is essential.
Our range can be seamlessly integrated with traditional door sets, featuring innovative optional extras. These doors can have post-formed vertical edges to the door leaves, frame, and architrave, offering a modern, maintenance-free finish. This range is also available lead-lined for areas with potential radiation exposure, maintaining low bacterial levels. Available configurations include bi-folding, single swing, double swing, and sliding varieties, all with automatic opening functionality.

Crown Cut
The log is cut in half, and the half log or flitch is then sliced straight across, parallel to a line through the centre of the log and tangential to the growth rings. This generally produces a veneer with a central area of strong figurative grain and a more linear effect at each edge.
QUARTER CUT
The log is cut in quarters, and each quarter flitch is then straight sliced, approximately at right angles to the growth rings. This generally produces a veneer with a relatively uniform linear vertical grain.
ROTARY CUT
The log is mounted centrally in a lathe and sliced around the circumference, following the annual growth rings; this gives a bold variegated grain, and enables very wide leaves to be produced. Continuous rotary slicing is also used for plywood and constructional veneers.
BOOK MATCHING
This traditional method of matching is achieved by taking successive leaves of veneer and reversing alternate leaves so as to bring corresponding opposite edges together in a mirrored effect. This produces a symmetrical balanced pattern of grain and figure.
RANDOM MATCHING
Veneers of the same species, but not necessarily from the same log, are deliberately mixed to produce an overall random grain effect. Butt or end grain jointing may be introduced in some leaves to add to the planking effect.
SLIP MATCHING
Successive leaves are taken from the same stock or flitch of veneer and jointed without turning alternate leaves over as in book matching. This produces a repeat pattern which varies gradually across the panel. This method is usually most effective when straight grain veneers are used.
