Craftsman-Style Doors
Honor the tradition of arts and crafts with our craftsman-style doors. We build our doors with authentic stile-and-rail joinery for sturdy construction that can withstand daily use. Our artisans understand that craftsman doors are about more than aesthetics, so we prioritize high-quality materials and visible joinery to deliver exceptional doors that make a statement.
Signature Craftsman Details
At Vintage Millwork & Restoration, we are proud of our craft. When building your custom Craftsman door, we rely on time-honored techniques backed by modern technology to ensure your door has character while remaining durable:
- Dentil shelf: Add charm to your door with dentils. We design these iconic architectural elements from solid wood and add proper drainage slopes on exterior doors and decorative corbels in interior doors.
- True divided lites (TDL): We can also enhance your design with TDLs. Instead of simulated grilles, we use premium wood muntins to separate the individual glass panes or high-end simulated divided lites (SDL) with spacer bars for authentic shadow lines.
- Glass options: We have different types of glass to capture the charm of Craftsman doors. Add the reamy glass for a unique aesthetic, or opt for clear glass to welcome floods of natural light.
Wood Species for Craftsman Aesthetic
Craftsman-style doors require beautiful wood grain, and that is precisely what you will find in our collection. We select high-quality wood with exceptional grain patterns to capture the spirit of the Arts and Crafts Movement that gave birth to this style. Some of our options include:
- Quartersawn White Oak: White Oak is the quintessential Craftsman wood. Its ray-fleck pattern defines the Stickley-style doors, which are authentic to the era, while its moisture resistance contributes to their longevity.
- Douglas Fir: With a tight, straight vertical grain, the Douglas Fir has a natural beauty that enhances the classic appeal of Craftsman doors. The wood’s composition lends it exceptional sound-damping capabilities, making it an ideal option for an interior Craftsman door.
- Sapele Mahogany: This wood features a distinct interlocked grain, making it ideal for elegant door designs. Its excellent dimensional stability ensures the door can resist warping, twisting, and gapping.
With 42 stain and finish options, you will always find an option that suits your door. Our wood experts can guide you through the selection process, ensuring you select a stain that highlights the grain rather than hides it.
Hardware and Finishing Touches
We have a selection of period-correct hardware to complete your door. The oil-rubbed bronze hinges create an aged, traditional aesthetic that complements this style. We work with leading manufacturers to provide statement pieces that ensure your door stands out with the hardware you want.
