Torterolo & Re security doors protect your privacy and express each homeowner’s personality in a wide range of types of wood, finishes and colours. Whatever your choice may be, the solution is a Torterolo & Re series panel or coating.
Our security doors with over twenty sets TYPES of panels and coatings in ceramic, milled wood, solid wood, MDF, renolit, and aluminium provide interpretations for every taste and style that complement each homeowner’s personality and any surroundings. We have countless ways to personalise your door and make it truly special with creativity that ranges from the most classic to the most modern. Noble woods, lacquers, innovative materials, glass, colours, finishes, decorations, inserts and shapes of every type can be matched and alternated to enliven a vast assortment that already contains the panelling you have in mind.
Choosing panels and coatings
When choosing an object made from wood to be used outdoors, there are important considerations that cannot be ignored when evaluating its functionality and lifetime. This evaluation is extremely important for the panelling of security doors and secure shutters that, due to their construction, must be made in limited thicknesses. To facilitate this choice, each panel that Torterolo & Re offers is combined with a symbol consisting of up to five stars. The more stars the panel has, the better it tolerates environmental stress.
Solid Wood panel
Solid wood panels are more valuable; their beauty is derived from the accuracy of their working and the uniqueness of each element, and can be expressed in both classic and modern designs. Solid wood panels are naturally warm and elegant but durable and resistant at the same time, a precise expression of personality and style. A solid wood security door makes a home exceptionally personal, and every single detail reveals with unmistakable precision the mastery adopted in its creation. The “weave” of the type of wood used and the irregularities in its surface are the handiwork of Mother Nature, and as such the expression of limitless, unrepeatable mystery.
A solid wood security door is a specific investment because its accurate construction permits adaptation to different architectural styles while also enabling easier repair and re-adaptability than other types. Solid wood’s refined design creates quality, style, and a structure like nothing else on earth. A solid door’s beauty grows with the passage of time. It changes in appearance and its grain takes new colours, while its small imperfections only emphasize its unmistakably natural, undying appeal.
All the solid wood panels used by T&R are dried and stabilized at the correct environmental humidity. Please bear in mind that there is a continuous exchange of humidity between the wood and the environment, and the wood expands and constricts in the direction perpendicular to the grain. These phenomena are especially visible in very humid environments, characterized by intense seasonal differences.
Naturally, the consequence of this exchange is perceived more in very wide panels (doors with very wide clearance) and, especially, by so-called “soft” wood, such as pine or canoe wood. For these soft woods, we recommend using models with three leaves, preferring locations protected by porticos or wide balconies.

Milled wood panels
Milled wood panels are the most versatile and stable for use on the door’s external side.
Milling is a particular type of engraving performed using numerical control machines. The pattern is sent to the machine that faithfully reproduces it on the wood support in a single piece with very stable, long-lasting materials. This technology is used to produce classic or modern designs that can be additionally enhanced by inserts in steel or ceramic. The panes are finished using either lacquers in an infinite number of colours or transparent varnishes that bring out all the more traditional wood’s warmth and grain.
All exterior milled panels in solid wood are made using “parallel fibre” panels. The layers are glued using AW100 glues, which are weather resistant.
The panels in the Royal and Pantos Plus Series are more valuable, and have a layer of prized solid wood equal to that on the facade. Milling reveals the interior layer, creating a pleasant effect. The Pantos series panels have a single layer of Okumè wood. The grain of the base wood is always the same while the different colours are created in the coating process using a variety of pigments.
Lacquered panels constructed with a multilayer base for exterior use offer greater guarantee against humidity with respect to waterproof MDF panels. However, these latter have a smoother surface, which does not show the natural wood grain.
Milled panels offer greater guarantee of stability and resistance to weather.
Framed panels
The Country series of panels represents the perfect compromise between milled and solid wood panels. They offer the beauty of a frame on uprights and crosspieces with multilayer wood leaves, and are more stable than those in solid wood.
Country/M has a solid wood frame with glued uprights and crosspieces, and waterproof MDF leaves. It offers good weather resistance and can be implemented with the extra charge for silicon coating of the leaves. Country/P is made completely with multilayer frame and leaves for exterior use, offering the greatest weather stability.
Geo series panels
The Geo series panels provide the perfect compromise between price and weather resistance. They are made from milled waterproof MDF coated with a PVC coloured film or with a wood effect.
Aluminium panels
Aluminium panels are most suitable for doors highly exposed to the weather. They are made with a 1.2 mm thick aluminium sheet, pressed and polyester coated for exterior use, baked or coated with PVC for exterior use. In some cases, stainless steel decorations are applied. The sheet is glued to a waterproof polyurethane support for external use and balanced with an additional 0.6 mm aluminium sheet. The Aluminium panels do not require maintenance, with the exception of standard cleaning.
Panel painting
Torterolo & Re security doors must do more than provide the elevated burglary-resistance and functions requested. They must also break thermal bridges and provide acoustic insulation. The market today demands also style and design, personalisation and harmonious insertion with interiors and surroundings. All with the maximum respect for the environment. This is why Torterolo & Re uses special water-based paints made of carefully-selected components that guarantee longer lasting protection than offered by traditional solvent-based paints for the decoration of its doors. Water-based paint treatment cycles block the deterioration of the wood and preserve the door as-new over time, resistant to atmospheric degradation and small impacts and abrasion. The paint covers the entire surface and makes it smooth to the touch while ensuring excellent transpiration. A vast range of colours adds character to modern lines or maintains balance with tradition. As for all our other panels, we recommend regular cleaning with a microfibre cloth, and discourage the use of paper, cotton or strong acid or alkaline detergents.
Caring for your panel
Because there are countless ways to face and personalize a Torterolo & Re security door, every external maintenance question must be considered case by case. Behaviour and reaction to atmospheric agents vary on the basis of the materials and finishes chosen.
Cleaning intervals also vary and depend on the door’s location. As a general rule, this type of maintenance should be performed every three or four months. In these cases, we recommend regular cleaning with a soft microfibre cloth and mild detergents. Wood panels undeniably require more careful, more frequent maintenance using specific natural wax-based products that nourish the wood.
Our dealers offer Special Kits with protective and brightening detergents for glass and wood, detergents for steel, protective lubricants, and two premium microfibre cloths for the cleaning and maintenance of Torterolo & Re security doors.
