A Look at BarnCraft Modern Barn Doors: The Brentwood Barn Door

Nov 19th 2019

BarnCraft is proud to reveal the new Brentwood Modern Barn Door, the latest in our Modern Door Collection. Possessed of elegant simplicity, this door adds style and subtle flair to any space.

Consider how charming and cozy your living space would be with a darker finish door and a traditional hardware set, chosen to create a classic country aesthetic. Picture yourself sliding back your brand-new door to reveal your dream holiday table or to welcome friends into your guest room.

You can even install a sliding door where your space is currently open. Think of how flexible your living and dining space would be with a barn door installed in your current archway. Because the Brentwood Barn Door slides along the wall without invading the surrounding space, you can keep it open whenever you want clear passage or close it when you need the rooms to be separate.

Consider the possibilities of a sliding barn door to give you the entertaining space of your dreams. Close it off when you have families visiting to create a kids' play space or provide a private area for the teenagers. Keep it open for your adult dinner parties so that guests can mingle and network during cocktail hour, then wander easily into the dining room without needing to put drinks down to open the door.

The Brentwood Barn Door is great for bedroom spaces as well. You get all the privacy of a traditional door but retain all of the space in your room when the door is open. Imagine being able to use that space that you’ve always written off as “behind the door.”

Structure and Function

The Brentwood Barn Door features a top-to-bottom rectangular pattern bookended by smooth wood on either side. Choose your preferred style of pull handle - or no handle at all - and select whether you want the handles on the left, right, or both. With these choices and BarnCraft’s privacy lock and soft-close options, you can design your Brentwood Modern Door to suit your unique style of use.

BarnCraft customizes the size of the door to fit your door frame. We offer widths of 30, 36, 42, and 48 inches, all of which can be combined with heights of 80, 94, or 96 inches. All sizes are compatible with multiple rolling hardware choices to suit your usage style and décor. You even have your choice of 78 ¾” or 100” rail so that the door you choose fits your home perfectly.

Aesthetics

Like the other models in BarnCraft’s Birch Contemporary Doors collection, this door is made of multi-ply wood panel, 1.75 inches thick, and coated with a veneer of authentic American birch wood. You choose a Traditional, Antique, or Distressed finish in one of more than 28 colors, all of which highlight the natural grain of the wood.

When you mix the hardware and finish options available in a ready-to-install Brentwood Modern Barn Door, the possible styles appear limitless. And if you’re the DIY type, you have even more choices. In addition to our beautiful water-based finishes, we give you the option to order an unfinished door and do the custom finish work in your own home.

Tips for Finishing Your Door

If you plan to finish your Modern Barn Door, we offer the following process and product recommendations.

Select a high-quality finish and primer from a reputable manufacturer. We use water-based finishes but you may prefer oil or solvent-based products.

If you need to store the door for an extended time before finishing, apply a good wood sealer or primer.

Before finishing, let the door sit for 24 to 48 hours in the room where you plan to install it. This lets the wood adapt to the temperature and humidity in your space.

Do not expose the door to heat or air conditioning before the finishing process is complete.
