Spanish term

puertas canteadas

Spanish to English Other Furniture / Household Appliances
This is what a company manufactures - the company specialises in kitchen units. Could it be "beaded doors"???
Thanks

As Gregory wanted a little more context, the sentence where it comes is as follows: "A finales de 2007 comienza la actividad de XXXXX, con la producción de puertas canteadas en aluminio macizo y ABS".

edge banded door

It seems like "lipped door" refers to a door with an edge that is not perpendicular to the face of the door and might be referred to as "beveled edge"

It seems like "lipped doors" frequently do not have edge-banding

It would be useful to know what the doors the text refers to are actually like because I think the term "canteado" in Spanish can have different uses.

I've become a big fan of google books...this is a link to "Building Envelope and Interior Finishes Databook"

lipped doors

According to my notes, canteado = lipping / banding / edging strip (a strip of solid wood along the edge of a door leaf, etc. to protect a cellular core or soft-timber core)

Lipped door seems possible, banded also has a few hits.

agree Dave 72 : Whatever the term ends up being, I think this explanation is helpful!

Thank you. I do try, especially when I have time (which today I don't)
