The present invention relates to shaker doors with solid cores and methods for making the same. The shaker doors contain different core materials at the recessed panel than the raise peripheral region to provide dimensional stability and reduced distortion when the doors are exposed to high humidity. The devices and methods also provide for easy assembly of solid core shaker doors, including fire rated doors.

A modular safety shelter provides protection from fragment, overpressure, radiation, and toxic hazards through a combination of physical design of modular segments, of joint seals between modular segments, of door assemblies, and of HVAC control systems. The modular shelter is formed of two or more prefabricated concrete modular segments each including a built-in foundation, roof, and side walls, and a prefabricated concrete vestibule segment providing an airlock-like access to the shelter. The prefabricated modular segments and vestibule segment are transported to a site and assembled to each other on-site to provide a fully enclosed space within the modular shelter. A multi-layer joint seal is formed between adjacent modular segments to prevent ingress of toxic, flammable, or thermal hazards. An integrated HVAC controller monitors toxic or flammable hazards outside and inside of the shelter, and controls HVAC systems to minimize spread of contaminants upon detecting a hazard.

This door assembly (29) comprises a frame (31), extending along a frame plane (P1) and comprising: at least one frame beam (35) defining a frame axis (X35) along the frame plane, the frame beam comprising a main body (39) elongated along the frame axis and having a substantially constant cross-section (S39) along said frame axis, the main body comprising a beveled portion (55) inclined relative to the frame plane; and a swing door (33), pivotably secured to the frame between an opened position and a closed position, said swing door comprising at least one edge beam (63) comprising a main body (139) elongated along an edge axis (X63) of the edge beam and having a substantially constant cross-section (S139) along said edge axis, the main body comprising a beveled portion (155) which is brought to rest against the beveled portion of the frame beam when the swing door is brought to the closed position, wherein the cross-section (S39) of the main body (39) of the frame beam (35) is identical to the cross-section (S139) of the main body (139) of the edge beam (63).

Described herein is an acoustic structural panel having a first exposed major surface opposite a second exposed major surface and side surfaces extending between the first and second exposed major surfaces, the acoustic structural panel comprising a first protective layer comprising at least a portion of the first exposed major surface, a second protective layer comprising at least a portion of the second exposed surface, a core structure located between the first and second protective layers, the core structure comprising, a foam body; and a fibrous body, wherein the first major exposed surface of the acoustic structural panel comprises a plurality of apertures exposing the fibrous body.
