Paint/MDF panel PG maple frame This grade utilizes paint grade wood stiles and rails with an MDF center panel. We recommend this combination for painted doors because the MDF center panel expands and contracts less than solid wood. Maple will be used for the hardwood frame. Wood frames may have large color variation with natural defects as they are sound. Putty fill is also acceptable.
