Both raised and fielded panel Chippendale doors and flat panel Sheraton doors are traditionally constructed with solid timber stiles, rails and muntins. All main joints are through mortice and tenon, wedged joints using a waterproof adhesive for maximum durability. Framing members can be moulded on the edges adjacent to the panel or applied mouldings added.

Unless otherwise specified, finished sizes for framing members will be as below: wherever possible, these should be regarded as minimum dimensions for all doors to avoid any possible fire certification problems.

		In addition to door style and panel type, the visual characteristics of a panelled door are also determined by any profile mould applied to panel edges of framings. Typical mouldings are shown below and, if no other type is specified, Ovolo is supplied as the standard frame.
