Barn Doors

A – NOT USUALLY. IT IS SELDOM NECESSARY FOR US TO DO AN ON SITE VISIT. ALL WE NEED IS A FEW SIMPLE MEASUREMENTS. A PICTURE OR TWO SENT WITH MEASUREMENTS BY EMAIL IS USUALLY MORE THAN ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU A FIRM QUOTE FOR YOUR DOOR. IF THERE ARE UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES, WE CAN DO AN ONSITE VISIT FOR FINAL MEASUREMENTS BEFORE WE BEGIN TO BUILD YOUR DOOR.
USUALLY WE NEED THE FOLOWING BASIC MEASUREMENTS:
  • FLOOR TO CEILING
  • FLOOR TO TOP OF OPENING
  • FLOOR TO TOP OF DOOR TRIM (IF APPLICABLE)
  • FLOOR TO UNDERSIDE OF CROWN MOLDING (IF APPLICABLE)
  • WIDTH OF DOOR OPENING
  • IF YOU HAVE MOLDINGS, MEASURE WIDTH OF OUTSIDE TRIM TO OUTSIDE TRIM
  • DETERMINE WHICH DIRECTION YOUR DOOR WILL ROLL AND MEASURE THE WALL YOUR DOOR WILL ROLL INTO TO CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE ENOUGH ROOM
WELL, BEST CASE SCENARIO IS THAT YOU INSTALL BLOCKING HORIZONTALLY BETWEEN YOUR STUDS ABOVE YOUR DOOR OPENING AND THE FULL LENGTH THAT YOUR TRACK WILL BE IN THE DIRECTION YOUR DOOR WILL ROLL. BLOCKING CAN BE 2″ X 6″ OR 2″ X 8″ OR WIDER. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL NEED TO USE A LEDGER BOARD.
YES WE DO!
THIS DEPENDS ON WHAT STYLE OF OUR HARDWARE YOU CHOOSE. TYPICALLY, BETWEEN 6″ AND 12″ HEADROOM IS REQUIRED. IF YOU HAVE DOOR FRAMES, YOU WILL NEED ENOUGH ROOM ABOVE YOUR DOOR FRAMES. THE SAME APPLIES IF YOU HAVE CROWN MOLDINGS. IT’S BEST TO CALL US IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE REGARDING HEADROOM.
TYPICALLY, OUR DOORS FINISH UP AT ABOUT 2″ THICK.
MEASURE THE HEIGHT AND WIDTH OF YOUR DOOR OPENING. IF YOU HAVE FRAMES AROUND YOUR DOOR OPENING, ADD THAT INTO YOUR TOTAL HEIGHT AND WIDTH. THESE FINAL MEASUREMENTS WILL GIVE YOU A BASIC IDEA OF THE DOOR SIZE NEEDED. WE WILL ADJUST THE FINAL MEASUREMENTS TO BE SURE YOUR DOOR FITS PERFECTLY.

PLEASE SEE OUR BARN DOOR GALLERY FOR PICTURES OF SOME DOOR STYLES WE MAKE.ALSO, LOOK AT OUR FACEBOOK PAGE. WE MAKE BOTH RUSTIC AND CONTEMPORARY STYLE BARN DOORS. WE USE ANTIQUE LUMBER AS WELL AS NEW LUMBER. WE USE A VARIETY OF SPECIES AND OFFER A VARIETY OF FINISHES. IF YOU WANT GLASS IN YOUR DOORS, WE OFFER GLAZED DOORS.

    Barn Beam Mantels

    WE CAN MAKE MANTELS ANY LENGTH NEEDED.
    WE MAKE MANTELS ANY SIZE NEEDED. WE HAVE AN ON SITE SAWMILL WHICH ENABLES US TO RIP YOUR BEAM TO ANY THICKNESS AND ANY WIDTH YOU MAY NEED. WE CAN CUT YOUR MANTEL AS THICK OR AS THIN AS YOU LIKE WITH GREAT PRECISION AND CLEAN LINES.
    HANG YOUR MANTEL BEFORE YOUR STONE WORK BEGINS.
    GENERALLY, YOUR MANTEL WILL TAKE 1-1/2 TO 2 WEEKS TO MAKE. THIS IS DUE TO VOLUME GOING THROUGH OUR SHOP. IF YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED A RUSH, WE CAN HAVE IT READY FOR YOU SOONER. IF YOU ARE ORDERING A MANTEL WHICH IS A “WRAP AROUND” OR A “HOLLOW OUT” THE TIME MAY BE LONGER.
    IN GENERAL WE DON’T HAVE TO. WE CAN TELL YOU WHAT BASIC MEASUREMENTS TO TAKE AND CAN WORK WITH YOU OVER THE PHONE OR EMAIL TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PERFECT SIZED MANTEL WILL BE FOR YOU.
    A WRAP AROUND MANTEL IS A THREE SIDED MANTEL. THIS TYPE OF MANTEL IS COMMON WHERE A FIREPLACE IS BUILT OUT FROM THE MAIN WALL AND A THREE SIDED MANTEL IS DESIRED. A HOLLOW OUT IS WHERE THE UNDER SIDE OF A MANTEL HAS TO BE HOLLOWED OUT IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE MANTEL TO SIT OVER AN EXISTING MANTEL OR BUILD OUT. WE MAKE BOTH OF THESE COMPLEX STYLES OF MANTEL.
    YES, WE MAKE CORBELS.
    WE PRIMARILY USE RECLAIMED BARN BEAMS FOR OUR MANTELS. TYPICALLY, WE USE HEMLOCK, PINE, CEDAR, ASH, MAPLE, WHITE OAK AND ELM BEAMS. THE AVAILABILITY OF THESE SPECIES CHANGES CONTINUOUSLY…SO SOME OF THEM ARE NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE. WE ALSO MAKE MANTELS OUT OF NEW RECLAIMED/REPURPOSED ONTARIO HARDWOODS LIKE MAPLE, OAK, BLACK CHERRY AND BLACK WALNUT. PRICES FOR THESE SPECIES VARY.
    YES, WE HAVE A GOOD ASSORTMENT OF POPULAR STAIN COLORS AVAILABLE. WE CAN ALSO CUSTOM MIX A STAIN FOR YOU AT AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE. IF YOU DON’T WANT YOUR BEAM WE WILL SEAL IT WITH URETHANE OR OIL FOR YOU TO KEEP A NATURAL COLORED MANTEL.
    YES WE DO! OUR INSTALLERS ARE EXPERTS AT FIREPLACE MANTEL INSTALLATIONS.
