(54) Door for a laundry washing and/or drying machine


(57) A door for a washing and/or drying machine comprises a structural foam moulding 1, for example of foamed polystyrene, which is provided with an annular recess 7, arranged to accommodate at least part of the projecting laundry- loading door of an associated washing machine, and stiffening ribs 8 to 12 extending from the recess towards the thickened edges 3 to 6 of the moulding. An additional cross-rib 30 is provided which has a surface 41 which can be used as a guide to cutting away the portion of the moulding below the rib 30 if required. A decorative front panel may be secured over the front face of the moulding by means of L-shaped strips around the edges of the moulding.
