Using Reclaimed Wood in Homes for Beautiful Sliding Barn Doors

A rustic and inviting style has never been more popular in modern home design. Barn doors complete a country aesthetic, but they can also add warmth and character to a contemporary or minimalist home. Using reclaimed wood adds history as well as style to these accents.

Why Use Reclaimed Wood for Barn Doors?

Using reclaimed wood is more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than sourcing new wood, all without any dip in quality. Heritage pieces of fine hardwood shouldn’t go to waste, and using them helps slow deforestation.

How Are Barn Doors Made?

First, you’ll choose Maple, Oak or Alder wood. Then, you can select a design or collaborate on a custom design.

A team of woodworkers takes over from there, transforming reclaimed wood into a one-of-a-kind barn door. This can include simple panels, elaborate herringbone plank designs, rustic crossbeams or elegant glass panels. Then, the door is either stained or painted. Finally, the finished door meets the hardware that allows it to slide smoothly.

Installing a barn door properly can be a complicated process, so professional installation is a must. With a custom build and accurate measurements, your barn door will fit perfectly and enhance your home for years to come.
