Why Install Interior Barn Doors

Barn style doors offer plenty of value for their price. You can expect to enjoy the following:

Better Accessibility

Regardless of how wide the entrance needs to be, internal barn doors take up zero space. The space-saving feature of these doors means they’re great for mud-rooms, hallways, utility rooms and bookcases.

Oak trees commonly grow in the Northern Hemisphere, largely in areas such as North America, Europe, and throughout Asia. There are hundreds of different species of oak trees that range from deciduous to evergreen. Oakwood is ideally suited for building because it has a high density, making it a hard, strong, and durable wood that will last longer and maintain its quality. It naturally resists insects and fungus diseases because of its high level of tannin.

Solid oak wood is a classic and traditional application for a variety of doors. It’s a wonderful and traditional material to be used as barn doors, highlighting the classic look and feel of the countryside.

These make for great external doors to evoke specific characteristics of your home, but can also be used inside as well. If you’d like to maintain your theme throughout the inside of your home, getting barn doors inside your home may help you complete a style. The natural grain of the oak in solid oak doors makes for a beautiful and traditionally appealing entranceway!

Prefinished or Unfinished Barn Doors

Barn doors and stable doors can come prefinished to suit the style that you want or unfinished so you can finish it yourself. If you want, you can also leave it unfinished for a very natural appearance. This could be great for a cabin or cottage and may help accent a specific style or various architectural characteristics.

An unfinished door is also a great way to give you something creative and innovative to do. If you can find the motivation and inspiration, you can finish your barn doors yourself to make them fit the style you want. This gives you more control over the creative appearance and functionality of the door and gives you something great to do. You can also show off your door with a sense of pride and accomplishment!

Fire Rated Barn Doors

Fire and smoke emergencies do occur and being prepared is the best way to ensure safety during these instances. Fire doors are highly beneficial in terms of safety and peace of mind, offering fire and smoke protection between an external or internal passageway. This helps you isolate the threat and potentially give people more time to escape. Most doors can come in fire-rated options regardless of type and style, allowing you to ensure the most safety for your home or business.

Benefits of Barn Doors
