A Look at BarnCraft MDF Barn Doors: Shaker Barn Door
Apr 14th 2020
If you’re ready to upgrade the look of your home, you’ll love incorporating our Shaker Barn Door into the design. This modern sliding door from our BarnCraft MDF Barn Door collection has a sleek form that’s ideal for many interior designs, elevating unfinished elements to completion.
The Shaker Barn Door offers endless finishing options due to its primer coating. You can add your own color or you can keep it classic with one of our three high-quality primer options: white, stone, and sand.
Just think of how this door can liven up the kitchen pantry if you paint it a cheery canary yellow. You might also love the idea of adding this door between the living room and dining room, painted in a soft leafy green that complements your classic ivory walls. Our sliding barn door is a versatile home element you’ll love seeing and using every day.
Choosing the Perfect FitWe provide an array of customization options to ensure you get the right size the first time. You’ll find plenty of sizing specifications that apply to all of our MDF doors, so all you need to do is measure, order, and enjoy your new sliding barn door.
We offer the Shaker Barn Door in several widths ranging from 32 to 48 inches. You can install the door in front of a pantry, a linen closet, a bedroom doorway, the stairs leading to the basement, or anywhere you please. And if you want to use this door for a long closet, simply install two side by side. Sliding doors are ideal for hall closets because they don’t jut out into available hall space. Slide the door to grab your belongings and then slide it back, all without blocking the path.
Height customization is another option we offer. If you’d like to replace an existing interior door of standard height, you’ll likely want an 80-inch sliding door. If it is taller, or if you’re adding a barn door to a large doorframe or an entry between rooms, try one of our other height options. The Shaker Barn Door comes in 80, 84, and 96 inches, making it ideal for doorframes of all sizes.
Hardware CustomizationApart from picking the width and height of your new sliding door, you can also select the rolling hardware and pull handles. The Shaker fits all BarnCraft hardware options, which means there are eight different ways to elevate your door.
If you like a sleeker look, you might opt for the stainless steel slade hardware. Both the waggoner and the vintage hardware are ideal for more rustic designs, while the royal and the philmont hardware offer a bolder statement.
The pull handle is another feature to consider. Front pull handles come in fifteen types, and back pull handles come in two different colors—black vista and stainless steel vista.
Two other features—soft close tracks and privacy locks—give you further customization. Soft close is ideal in busy households to prevent two doors from slamming as family members go about their day. Less force means a gentle stop.
High-Quality MDF ConstructionAll of our BarnCraft MDF doors feature a triple layer of MDF, each measuring 1/2 inch thick for a total thickness of 1 1/2 inches. A 5-inch stile around the frame offers durability, with solid construction from top to bottom. You can order the Shaker Barn Door with panels on both sides, or you can ask for paneling on the front only.
