4 internal structure precisely for you to understand the differences between them.

As its name, the core is combined by honeycomb structure paper or cardboard. Door panel with this structure features light weight, and it is also an economical option. But obviously, there are several cons, such as poor noise insulation and easy to damage.

Wooden blocks form a sturdier structure than the honeycomb cardboard. Apart from that, this core is inexpensive and lightweight as well. You may try this door if you want stronger structure than honeycomb but still with modest budget.

Tubular core is a stable structure just like the structure of a bridge. Hollow structure ensures the lightweight performance. But unlike the wooden blocks and honeycomb, this one shows an excellent sound insulation and impact resistance. With an affordable price, this core could be the best choice for you.

The entire panel is made of real solid wood which keeps all the qualities and weaknesses of wood. This solid structure can perfectly resist noise and impact. But as we said before, real wood is easy to influence by the temperature change and moisture, shrinking or expending. Also, you may need to pay a steep price for this natural material.
