Zusammenfassung:A door facing blank is provided that includes a central portion, first and second side portions adjacent to and integral with opposite sides of the central portion, opposite interior and exterior major surfaces, and a design element including a molded portion and an embossed portion. The side portions include stile-receiving areas that are substantially planar. The molded portion is molded in the central portion to establish a first groove portion in the exterior surface region of the central portion and a protrusion on the interior surface region of the central portion. The embossed portion is embossed in the first side portion to establish a second groove portion in the exterior surface region of the first side portion but no protrusion on the interior surface region of the first side portion. The first and second groove portions establish a continuous groove in the exterior major surface.
