Flat panels I like to use plywood and at least spot glue it into the frame. So there is a coat of finish helping to keep the panel in place too. But I put one more coat on everything after finishing the frame. I also finish the inside of the frame and the panels before glueup and flush up the frame and finish it after glueup. They always have a little friction to keep them from rattling. Maybe it's my wood or glueups but my panels have never been so flat they move freely in the frame.
It tends to be drier in the winter than the summer so I might make the minimum engagement 1/16 if building the doors in winter. I usually make the panel so that it will have a minimum 1/8 engagement in the off side groove if it bottom out on the other side. Sometimes I plan on 1/8 clearance all the way around - which often isn't enough but leaves less to trim.
#Stiles and rails proportions plus
The horizontal pieces are the opening width minus the vertical pieces plus two times the cut width of the cope and stick cutters. This extra material can help if things don't turn out just right in either the door or the box. So the rails and stiles may be 1/16 less than I just described when I am done. Frame and panel construction, also called rail and stile, is a woodworking technique often used in the making of doors, wainscoting, and other decorative features for cabinets, furniture, and homes. I often make the doors to fit the opening with no clearance and then trim to fit. I used to use 2 1/4 mostly but we bought the kitchen cabinets we did because my wife liked the 3 inch wide rails and stiles. The width of the rails and stiles is for appearance. 1825–1860) The first major shift in style from the Federal period, often with larger vertical panels and more elaborate moldings.I've never used a calculator for this. 1790–1825) Similar in design to Federal period doors, but constructed with the use of early woodworking machinery, which allowed for more variety in moldings. 1790–1820) Post-revolutionary style that introduced more elaborate decoration and widespread use of the fanlight above the door. 1700–1780) The first dominant architectural style in Colonial America based on designs developed by the royal architects of King George I, II and III. The overall effect resulted in a door that minimized the tendency to swell and shrink, thus remaining more airtight.Ĭlassical door styles and their primary period of use in North America include: Georgian (ca. This frame was then completed with “floating panels” that fitted into grooves cut into the stiles and rails. In frame-and-panel doors, two vertical stiles spanned the length of the door on each side, connected by horizontal rails. It helped resolve the problem of seasonal expansion and contraction of wood. This new construction style, which is still used today, is both more sophisticated and more effective. In the early 1700’s, the use of “frame-and-panel” doors replaced the plank-style doors used by the first American settlers. Historical NoteĬlassical doors encompass a wide range of design variations, constructed with the frame-and-panel method. Our experience in Georgian, Federal, Greek, and Classical Revival is available to you and your architect.
