I had always thought that MDF doors were solid, but recently I had to trim one down and was surprised about what was stuffed inside. I realize MDF is a composite material to being with but so many of these doors are just filled with junk on the inside, nice to find one that is not.

Great article on ‘environmentally friendly’ materials in doors. As ever there’s a delicate balance between the actual materials used in the fabrication of the external doors, versus the energy saved by installing a super insulating door made from what some might consider to be less ‘green’ materials. Nothing is ever easy

Screen Door, I think the Tru-Stile has always been that expensive regardless of the formaldehyde. I like your analogy about chemicals and veggies! Anna

It is good to hear that these MDFs are formaldehyde free and yet can have such stunning visual finishes. However, much like pesticide-free vegetables, if they are pesticide-free, thus using less chemicals to grow, reducing costs, how come they always end up being more expensive to buy?

What is great about these doors is they are not only green but they are fit almost every requirement, since there are plenty of designs.

These are just lovely; I think they’d be great for homes Key West and the Florida Keys. Thanks for sharing about them. I’ll have to look around South Florida to find out where they’ll sold.

They are not shy when it comes to price then (slab only)! If the quality is good then the price should not be an issue since most of the "cheap doors" that you buy at home centers fall apart or warp after a few years. As I tell my clients, if you buy my top end products you will only have to pay for my labor once. Green Home Improvements's last blog post..Go Green and Get Free Green Products

Thanks Glenn for the nice compliment. I try to research as much as I can but sometimes I really need the feedback from others who have so much more expertise. Always feel free to chime in because Green Talk is a community to help each other. I surely don’t know all the answers.

Green Home Improvements, the price above is based upon only a slab. I have not changed the post since I am waiting to get a prehung price for the doors. Thanks again for the question. Anna
