LEED Doors
"Leadership in energy and environmental design"
Our "green" eco-friendly, wood veneer
LEED doors are constructed using either Microstrand wheat board or NAUF particle board
substrates to form a solid core for the door. Microstrand wheat board is made from wheat stalks, a
renewable waste product produced by wheat farmers (otherwise known as
straw!). NAUF particle board is made from wood based bi-products similar
to regular particle board but has no added urea formaldehyde. Eco-friendly doors
manufactured with either of these two substrates meet the new 2009 California CARB
Codes (California Air Resource Board) and qualify for LEED credits.
Real wood veneers and
edges are overlaid onto the particle board substrates to create
beautiful wood doors in a myriad of wood species and door panel designs. This process reduces
the amount of wood needed to build a door by up to 80%, yet still gives
consumers the look and feel of a true solid wood door. Pricing of the wheat
core doors and the NAUF doors is comparative to doors made with
traditional particle core construction but is substantially less than
doors made with solid wood construction.
If you are building a new home, or renovating, and have a concern for keeping your home "green" for sake of the environment, consider buying LEED doors from Homestead Doors. Speak to our helpful door staff who can answer your questions to assist you in completing your project, and can prepare a price quote for you. You can also submit a quote request using our online door quote form.
Lag Bolt Door Assembly
Lag bolt construction is a signature
feature of our LEED doors. Bored
through the edges of the doors to secure
the stiles to the rails, these long metal
bolts are far stronger than wood
dowels and guard against joint
separation
caused by changes in temperature and
humidity in the door's surroundings.

Hand Sanding
Every LEED door undergoes a
unique 3 stage sanding process,
the last stage of which involves
a thorough inspection and sanding
by hand to eliminate cross grain
scratches that automated sanding
machines make. By removing these
blemishes, we give you a clean
door that is virtually ready to
stain
and finish with minimal
follow-up sanding. In addition,
doors are examined under
ultra-violet light so that
glue residue can be spotted and
removed before shipment.
