Door Features
Beyond the construction of the wooden components themselves, these details bring the entryway together and allow it to function smoothly and as intended.
Weatherstripping
Silicon kerf-in weatherstripping is used around the perimeter of the slab to seal the elements out. Requiring less compression than Q-Lon type weatherstripping, this silicon flap seal will always return to its original shape, as it has little to no “memory”. Available in black, brown, or white.
Interlocking Thresholds
We prevent the passage of wind or water at the bottom of our slabs using interlocking components paired with an adjustable silicon flap seal. A "J-hook" is nailed into the bottom of the slab, which grabs onto a bronze saddle, as the door closes. The adjustable silicon flap seal sits next to the J-Hook for a second layer of seal.
Hinges
Ball bearing hinges come standard with all doors, sized to match the weight of the door slab. They are available in 30 different finishes, as well as various finial options.
True Divided Lights
Individual glass units are divided by muntins, versus "simulated divided lights". Each tempered insulated glass unit is dropped onto a silicone bead in its frame. Window glazing stock is made from the same profile that the exterior features, and is pin-nailed into place.
Locking Hardware
We work closely with Brassworks Fine Home Details to find the appropriate locking hardware for your door. Their showroom in Providence, RI will demonstrate the various styles that can be incorporated in your project.
