​A Look at The BarnCraft Modern Door Series’ Inglewood Modern Door

Nov 12th 2018

Adding a barn door can dramatically change the look and feel of any room in your house. With a minimal investment of time and money, and no remodel required, it’s easy to get a whole new look. They are easy to install and come in a variety of finishes to match any decor.

The BarnCraft Modern Door Series features premium sliding barn doors in Birch wood, a fine textured wood that provides a great surface for painting and staining. These doors come assembled with your choice of Traditional, Distressed, Antique finish or unfinished. The Inglewood Modern Door can be combined with various hardware options including pull handles, rollers and a privacy lock to create unique interior doors for your home.

Get creative and order two of the same doors and hardware to make a double door. Use these to separate a formal dining room, a child’s play area, or even a home office space.

Finishing Guidelines:

Going the unfinished route? Not to worry, we have everything you need to guide you along the way. First, we suggest you choose a quality wood stain such as Minwax, Behr, Sherwin Williams, or Cabot.

At the BarnDoorz factory, we use water-based stains, but you can use water, oil, or solvent-based stain systems based on your preference. When painting your door, we suggest using a primer coat and a compatible finish coat. For best results, sand all surfaces between coats of primer and finish.

Be sure to confirm that the top, bottom and side edges of the door are finished correctly after the door is trimmed for installation. Before installing your new barn door, allow 24-48 hours for the door to adapt to your area’s general humidity and temperature. Inspect your door thoroughly before installing. If you notice a problem, notify BarnDoorz for further instructions. Follow the Storage & Handling guidelines below prior to finishing.

Storage and Handling

  1. Before installing your new barn door, allow 24-48 hours for the door to adapt to your area’s general humidity and temperature.
  2. Always store doors flat in a clean, dry, well-ventilated room. Protect them from dirt, water and if stored for long periods of time, seal with a high-quality sealer or primer.
  3. Do not expose doors to abnormal heat, direct sunlight, direct moisture, extreme dryness or humidity.
  4. Deliver doors to your building site after plaster and cement are completely dry and avoid exposure to air conditioned or heated environments prior to finishing.
  5. If storing on the job site and to avoid moisture absorption, be sure to seal all ends and edges with a wood sealer.
  6. To prevent oils and dirt from penetrating the wood grains, always handle doors with clean or gloved hands.
  7. Always lift and carry (do not drag) doors to prevent damage to surface.
