Using a combination of computational modeling, electron microscopy, and surface science, the team deduced that a thin layer of silicon oxide similar to what typically forms when silicon is exposed to air seemed to be having an outsized effect.
Old World doors boast impressive features such as increased thickness, deeper profiles, and wider Stiles & Rails to give a more dramatic look & feel when compared to a Traditional style cabinet door. Standard Stiles & Rails are 3â wide and can be manufactured in 1â, 1 1/8â and 1 Â¼â thicknesses.
