The FS Shaker 1 Lite in Clear pairs classic Shaker profiles with a single clear glass panel, allowing natural light to flow between rooms whilst maintaining a sense of separation. Hand-crafted in primed MDF, this internal door offers a clean, versatile look suited to both traditional and contemporary Australian homes.
A common question during a renovation is whether Shaker doors are solid wood. The Shaker panels on this door are crafted from primed MDF, a stable material that resists warping. The door itself features a solid engineered timber core, meaning there is no hollow cardboard inside. This construction provides the weight, durability, and acoustic benefits of a solid door without the high cost or environmental impact of solid timber.
- Material: Solid engineered timber core with primed MDF Shaker panels
- Glazing: Single clear glass insert
- Style: Classic Shaker profile to suit Hamptons, coastal, and modern interiors
- Finish: Supplied pre-primed and ready for your chosen topcoat

The Advantages Of Engineered Timber Over Solid Doors
What Are Engineered Doors?
Engineered doors are simply doors which have been created from engineered timber, rather than solid wood. While they share the same aesthetic qualities as solid wood doors, and have no hollow core, engineered timber doors have a host of additional benefits and advantages.
What Is Engineered Timber?
Engineered timber is simply individual pieces of high-grade timber which have been cut and bonded back together in a specific way. To understand why this is beneficial, you must first consider how solid wood is affected by natural factors.
When exposed to heat or humidity, solid wood undergoes a process of expansion and contraction, following the direction or flow of the grain. This is a constant process which over time results in permanent changes to the wood’s shape and size, or warping. This is especially true of external doors, which are subjected to varying conditions and temperatures either side. When a door scrapes across the ground, or doesn’t open like it once did, it’s almost always due to this unavoidable drawback of solid wood.
With a solid engineered core door, the finest-grade pieces of timber are cut into strips and bonded together in a way which ensures alternating grain flows. This negates the effects of heat and humidity as the door is expanding and contracting in opposite directions, effectively stopping itself from warping over time.
Why Use Engineered Timber?
- Is bonded through extreme heat and compression, resulting in an incredibly strong finished product.
- Employs cross-grained layering to negate the warping effects of heat and humidity, allowing the door to stand the test of time.
- Circulates and retains heats more efficiently, effectively reducing energy wastage and costs.
