Solid Core Okoume Veneer Door — 813 x 2400 mm | 2 Concealed Edges
This extra-length solid core okoume veneered door is engineered for heavy-duty interior applications where a standard 2032mm door height is insufficient. At 2400mm high, it suits floor-to-ceiling openings, double-volume spaces, and commercial environments where a taller, more imposing door is required. The solid chipcore construction provides excellent sound attenuation, impact resistance, and a stable base for painting.
Okoume veneer — also referred to as commercial veneer in the South African joinery trade — is a fine-grained African hardwood veneer that presents a smooth, consistent surface ideal for painting. The 2 concealed edges (2CE) mean both the hinge and lock stiles are lipped with a solid timber edge band, concealing the chipcore and providing a clean, finished appearance on both vertical edges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “2 concealed edges” (2CE) mean?
2CE means both vertical edges of the door — the hinge stile and the lock stile — are lipped with a solid timber edge band. This conceals the chipcore on both sides, giving a clean, finished appearance and protecting the core from moisture and damage. A 1CE door only has one lipped edge; a 2CE door is lipped on both sides.
What is okoume veneer?
Okoume is a fine-grained African hardwood commonly used as a door veneer in South Africa, where it is also referred to as commercial veneer. It has a smooth, consistent surface with a light pinkish-brown tone. It is well-suited to painting and is widely specified in commercial and institutional door schedules.
Why is painting recommended over staining for this door?
Okoume veneer has a relatively uniform grain that does not show the same natural character as open-grained timbers like oak or meranti. Painting produces a smooth, professional finish that suits commercial and contemporary residential interiors. Staining is possible but may result in an uneven appearance due to the veneer’s tight, consistent grain structure.
