One of the unique things you will find with our rustic doors is the variety of styles and possibilities they provide. While we call them rustic because they have a more handcrafted, Old World type of look, they are a perfect door option for a modern home, and they match beautifully with virtually any style of existing home.<\/p>\n
The key in our doors of the rustic variety is the use of a particular wood. We choose knotty alder for many of these doors since the natural burls and knots in the wood create that hand-hewn look and give these doors a very solid look. This can be altered subtly with several different design options we offer, which are certainly worth considering before making a final choice.<\/p>\n
Sidelights <\/strong><\/p>\n One of the more uniquelooks in rustic doors is to add sidelights. If you have a door with a wrought-iron speakeasy, extending that same grill type of look over the sidelights is a great option.<\/p>\n You may want to select one sidelight, which creates an asymmetrical and intriguing look to the door. This is a great option for a smaller front entrance. Two sidelights are a very traditional and balanced look and make an entrance look much larger.<\/p>\n Options for the Door<\/strong><\/p>\n Frosted glass, beveled glass or even the option to have ornate artisan glass in the sidelights keeps that Old World feel but adds a new twist. You may even want to consider a larger lite in the door itself, and then choose a rustic style of glass to carry through that rustic look.<\/p>\n Some of our most popular glass options for our rustic doors are the Flemish glass, which itself looks very antique. Chateau glass with small diamond shaped glass elements looks like a French villa, and it is a good option on either sidelights or throughout the main panel.<\/p>\n Round Topped Doors<\/strong><\/p>\n Some of our most popular styles of rustic doors are those with a round top. These really are a classic style, and when we add the speakeasy and the clavos to the design it is amazing.<\/p>\n Clavos are the wrought-iron decorative nail heads that are used in the top and the bottom boards of each panel. They add a distinctive line to the door, and they are an excellent option to match with any of the traditional types of glass, including those with wrought iron features.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the unique things you will find with our rustic doors is the variety of styles and possibilities they provide.
