OWT-H Solid Engineered Timber Entrance Door | Four Seas
The Four Seas OWT-H is a solid engineered timber entrance door, hand-crafted in Meranti timber with a Maple veneer finish. It suits standard Australian entrance openings at 820, 870 and 920mm widths, all 2040mm high and 40mm thick.
Solid engineered construction uses cross-grained layering to counter the warping effects of heat and humidity. This makes the door stable in Australian conditions where solid timber panels can twist or bow over time.
Standard sizes:
- 820 x 2040 x 40mm
- 870 x 2040 x 40mm
- 920 x 2040 x 40mm
Construction and material:
- Solid engineered Meranti timber core
- Maple veneer face finish
- 40mm thickness for entrance door rigidity
- Cross-grained layering to resist warping
Four Seas has supplied joinery timber doors to the Australian market for over 30 years. The OWT-H forms part of a versatile range designed to suit both traditional and contemporary home facades.
Pair this door with a compatible entrance lockset and hardware suited to 40mm thick timber doors. If you need guidance on sizing, hardware compatibility or trade pricing, contact our team to discuss your project requirements.

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.
