VT Industries Launches Exterior Stile and
Rail Door Product Line
By Trisha Clausen-Schmitt
Vice President of Corporate Marketing
VT Industries is now a single-source Architectural
Wood Door manufacturer, with the introduction of
Exterior Stile and Rail wood doors. VT adds this
complementary product line to the already robust
line of architectural wood interior doors, opening a
world of possibilities for every project.
Until now, the durability and beauty of VT
Architectural Wood Doors have only been available
for interior applications. With the introduction of
this exterior collection, our Door & Hardware
distributor partners now have a wider selection for
premium exterior stile and rail doors.
Available with a variety of elevations, sizes, and
thicknesses VT Exterior Stile & Rail doors are further
customized with multiple veneer species, sticking,
and panel options. And all VT Exterior Stile & Rail
Doors are manufactured to match, allowing you to
confidently match interior and exterior doors
throughout a project. You can also choose from
standard and custom elevations featuring floating
panel construction with internal dampening to
eliminate rattles, split proof panel construction with
built-in thermal barriers.
Hello and welcome back! It’s been a while since
our last newsletter, but that just means there’s
more to share with you! First and foremost, we
want to start by congratulating our very own
Mr. Tim Petersen. Back in January he was elected
to serve as President of the Door and Hardware
Institute. As many of you know, throughout his
career Tim has been very active member of the
openings industry and an advocate for life-safety
and security. With his leadership and dedication,
the foundation for the industry’s future will be
positively impacted.
Another exciting topic is the launch of our
Exterior Stile & Rail Door Product. With this
new product line, VT is now able to supply your
projects with premium interior and exterior doors,
making it easier than ever to coordinate the
entire door package. To learn more, be sure to
check out the adjacent article.
VT also extends a one-year limited warranty on the
Exterior Stile and Rail door products.
“We
understand that a door makes a first impression,
said Pam Rohlk, Customer Service Center Manager,
VT Industries. “And we want to help our customers
make a great one. That’s why we bring a level of
craftsmanship and expertise to wood doors that is
unmatched in the industry.”
This year, we’ve spent a fair amount of time
analyzing our target markets and have diligently
to create ads that were not just visually interesting,
but that dialed up the attributes that make VT
Doors stand out above the rest. Attributes like

Washington State University Global Animal Health Center
In addition to conference rooms, meeting space, and offices,
the high-tech facility includes a Biosafety Level-2 (BSL-2)
laboratory and a BSL-3 laboratory. These sophisticated
labs are critical in the study of pathogens and diseases
and provide graduate students and researchers with a safe
space to conduct their hands-on research. The BSL-2 lab is
designated for working with various bacteria and viruses
that cause only mild disease to humans. In the BSL-3 lab,
work is done with indigenous or exotic agents which may
cause serious or potentially lethal disease after inhalation.
It includes various bacteria, parasites and viruses that can
cause severe to fatal disease in humans, but for which
treatments exist, such as the West Nile Virus.
To maximize the use of the space, the BSL-2 Laboratory
features glass walls and doors with full lite glass to allow
students and visitors to view the working lab without being
at risk for exposure to various pathogens and diseases.
Conference Room.
The Palouse hills of Pullman, Washington are the home
of Washington State University. WSU was founded in 1890
and is the state’s original and largest land-grant university.
When land-grant institutions were founded, their mission was
teaching practical agriculture, science, military science, and
engineering in conjunction with classical studies.
Finishes
The interior finishes complement the expanses of exterior
glass and keep the space bright and light. Wood is used
throughout the building to help ground the space and
provide visual interest and is paired with bold colors
strategically throughout the building. Wood is used in
various applications including ceilings, walls, and in the
millwork.
The phrase “team work” seems to be
over used at times but it was especially
applicable for this project. Good people
working with good material make
good things happen.
Project Overview
“Overall the project was challenging not only because of
the economic climate, but also due to the site location
adjacent to the WSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital. We not
only had to maintain access to the hospital at all times, we
also had to be minimize noise, dust, and pollution as to
not disturb the ill and recuperating animals in a nearby
pasture,” explains Brenden Warren, Project Manager,
Bouten Construction. “Before the project was even started,
the level of quality demanded on the project was discussed
in detail so all subcontractors knew what was expected of
them, helping ensure the building was completed on time
and under budget. Furthermore, Bouten Construction has
worked previously with Builders’ Hardware and Supply
Company and developed a good working relationship with
them. So, when the doors arrived, we had very few issues
with the product, making the installation process painless
for our team,” notes Warren.
From these agrarian roots, Washington State University has
grown to be well known for its programs in veterinary
medicine, agriculture, animal science, food science and plant
science. The University has also been recognized by The
Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as
one of 96 colleges and universities in America with “very high
research activity.”
As WSU continues to grow and expand, so to does the
University’s legacy of academics and research. Most recently
with addition of the Paul G. Allen Center for Global Animal
Health. Dedicated in the fall of 2012, the Center for Global
Animal Health was built to accommodate the delicate research
of emerging diseases that affect both humans and animals.
Many infectious diseases are transmitted at the animal-human
interface. At the Center for Global Animal Health, researchers
have the facility and the tools to provide innovative disease
transmission, control, and prevention solutions across the globe.
The Facility
Located on the southern edge of campus adjacent to the
Veterinary Teaching Hospital, the Center for Global Animal
Health is a state-of-the art biomedical research facility. The
62,000 square foot facility features laboratories, office space,
and meeting rooms for over 100 research scientists and
graduate students. The center is linked to partnering research
facilities around the world including the Tanzania Campus.
doors for the BSL-2 lab that feature a full lite.” explains
Norm Jost, Territory Sales Manager, VT Industries. All of
the wood doors feature “AA” grade plain sliced White
Ash veneers. The doors’ stain is custom and matches
the other millwork, offering consistency on all three
floors of the building. “VT Industries was diligent and
worked with the team not just to meet, but exceed, in
perfectly matching the project’s finish color set forth by
the architect,” explained Jost. Additionally, the doors had
fire ratings that ranged from non-rated to 90-minutes to
accommodate the life safety requirements of the space.
Builders’ Hardware coordinated the doors and hardware
requirements for all the openings within the building.
Builders’ Hardware worked alongside Bouten Construction,
the General Contractor, for installation services and to
process submittals. “The phrase “team work” seems to be
over used at times but it was especially applicable for this
project. Good people working with good material make
good things happen. Without the team work of many on
this project it wouldn’t matter how good the material was,
good things wouldn’t have happened,” notes Bob Larsen,
AHC, and Vice President of Builders Hardware.
Full Lite Door.
VT manufactured the architectural wood doors throughout
the Center for Global Animal Health and partnered with
distributor Builders’ Hardware and Supply Company, Inc.
of Seattle and Kennewick, WA. Several door types were
selected for the job depending on the application. “A
majority of the doors were flush wood veneer doors for
classrooms and office spaces. VT also manufactured the

After years of differences and confusion between WDMA,
AWI & WI Industry Standards for Architectural Wood Doors
in regards to Premium Grade vs. Custom Grade, AA Grade
vs. A Grade veneer, veneer component widths, solid wood
vs. SCL stile backer etc., the standards are now in alignment
with each other.
The latest editions of WDMA I.S. 1A-11 & 6A-11 and the
AWS-2009 with errata, adopted and jointly published by
AWI, AWMAC & WI complement each other on all major
components in the standards. See below for comparisons.

projects or featured areas within a project because to the
high cost and limited availability of Grade AA veneers.
WDMA I.S. 1A-11 & 6A-11 and AWS-2009 are primarily
