CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sliding barn doors add a new element of functionality to the interior of a home while enhancing the style of the living space. Architects and builders are increasingly incorporating these types of doors into new projects because of this highly useful blend of qualities.
At the International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas this week, JELD-WEN unveiled the new IWP® custom wood barn door as part of the company’s custom wood door line. Evoking popular rustic design themes, this door is ideal for residences looking to make a stylish statement while increasing the functionality of a space. It is a perfect example of how the growing trend can be applied to a wide range of home interiors.
Effectively a moveable panel, sliding barn doors serve as a temporary partition to divide a living space into sections or open a room for entertaining. They can also be used along a wall to mask shelves, cabinets, entertainment systems or storage while serving as a piece of artwork and helping pull the style of a room together.
“We continue to see rising demand for this style of door in homes of almost every shape and size,” said Jim Parello, Vice President of Marketing for JELD-WEN. “This door is a gorgeous example of rustic design. It can incorporate custom, weathered coloring, natural woodgrains and tasteful, yet rugged, hardware that will blend beautifully into any living space.”
Rustic Style
Homes seeking a rustic, warmly weathered feel are a natural fit for these sliding barn doors. The wood grain and bold fittings evoke an earthy feel that fits seamlessly in a mountain cabin or Southwestern ranch. Available in an array of wood species, including alder, cherry, mahogany, oak, red grandis, walnut or multi-species options, these doors incorporate an unpretentious warmth that feels organic, simple and peaceful.
Personalization
In addition to a variety of woodgrains, JELD-WEN IWP custom wood barn doors offer numerous design and style options to ensure that each door perfectly reflects the look and feel of any room. Color-matching capabilities make it possible to paint or stain each door nearly any hue, including custom-weathered tones that evoke the feeling of historic and classic buildings from across the country.
Each door can incorporate a variety of panel options that add an additional layer of design. Optional glass designs add a natural flow of light and enhance privacy and security between spaces. Gorgeous etched glass patterns can turn any door into a work of art while rugged handle sets and hardware ensure that the style of each door remains consistent and that quality is assured.
“These doors blend leading design trends with the latest in-home innovations to add a dramatic pop of style and functionality to any space,” Parello added. “JELD-WEN IWP custom wood barn style doors are just the latest example of whole-home solutions that we are working on every day. We love providing our customers with pieces that complement their personal style and help create comfortable living spaces.”
