Hollow core doors are not truly hollow. Sandwiched between a thin press-board or wood veneer exterior is a cardboard honeycomb. The cardboard serves little purpose other than to provide structure for the outer shell and to act as a minor sound block.

Most production houses built today receive hollow core interior doors. While not the best at blocking sound or providing a solid feeling, hollow core doors are great value if you are looking to cut costs while supplying your house with large quantities of doors.
