ABSTRACT:
A door has a core that includes a porous layer having a thickness and two opposing major surfaces. In one construction, the core also includes three fire-retardant layers, and two of the fire-retardant layers are separated by the porous layer. The porous layer and the fire-retardant layers are coupled together. Other constructions include one or more fire-retardant layers in balanced or unbalanced placement around the porous layer.
