Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a weather resistant wooden door and methods for manufacturing and assembling the weather resistant wooden door. The weather resistant wooden door includes at least two stiles, a bottom rail, and a top rail configured to form the door assembly. A moisture resistant overlay is attached to either the aforementioned door components before assembly into a door or to the door assembly itself. The overlay is bonded to the underlying member by placing the overlay and member into a press where the pressure in the press is elevated for a predetermined amount of time. The overlay inhibits the infiltration of moisture from the environment.

Abstract: A door includes a first wood stile and a second wood stile. The door can also include a top rail and a bottom rail. The top rail has a first end attached to the first upper region of the first stile and a second end attached to the second upper region of the second stile. The bottom rail similarly has a first end attached to the first lower region of the first stile and a second end attached to the second lower region of the second stile. The door also includes at least a first moisture-resistant end-cap attached to the first lower end of the first stile and/or the second lower end of the second stile. The first end-cap, for example, can be a single component extending across the lower ends of the stiles and a bottom surface of the bottom rail. The door more preferably includes a first moisture-resistant end-cap attached to the first lower end of the first stile and a separate second moisture-resistant end-cap attached to the second lower end of the second stile.
