Barn & Other Sliding Doors

Barn doors have grown in popularity for both their aesthetic appeal and functionality. These sliding doors are a great space-saving alternative to traditional hinged doors, which require floor space to swing open. Instead, barn doors slide neatly along the wall, making them a versatile option for homes with limited space or rooms where you want to create a focal point.

Advantages of barn doors:

• Space-Saving Design: Traditional doors require space to swing open and close, but barn doors slide along the wall, taking up virtually no floor space. This makes them an ideal choice for smaller rooms, hallways, or even closets. In areas where space is at a premium, such as apartments or compact homes, barn doors shine as a practical solution.
• Versatile Style Options: You can customize barn doors to fit any style - from rustic and traditional to sleek and modern. With the right hardware and door slab, any door can be converted into a sliding door, whether you're going for a farmhouse look or a contemporary aesthetic. Barn doors are particularly trendy, and you can even modernize them by using molded panel doors for a more updated feel.
• Customization and Flexibility: With the right hardware setup, almost any door slab can be installed as a sliding door. Whether you're opting for a barn door (which slides over an opening), a set of bypass doors (which overlap each other), bi-fold doors (which fold flat against the wall when closed), or pocket doors (which emerge from a wall opening), barn doors offer flexibility for all kinds of spaces.
• Enhanced Soundproofing: While traditional barn doors may not provide much sound or light blocking due to the small gap between the door and wall, opting for a solid core door can help. Shaker doors or hardboard doors are great options for this, as their solid core construction reduces sound transmission, creating a more peaceful environment.

In addition to barn doors, there are several other types of sliding doors you might want to consider for your home. Each type serves a unique purpose and is designed to fit different needs.

• Barn Doors: Barn doors are single slabs that slide on a track, covering the door opening when closed and sliding open along the wall. They require wall space but save room in terms of floor space.
• Bypass Doors: Bypass doors consist of two or more door slabs that overlap when sliding. These are often used as closet doors, as they allow access to half of the closet at a time.
• Pocket Doors: Pocket doors are ideal for small spaces. They slide into a wall cavity, allowing for maximum use of the space. These doors are commonly used in bathrooms or between rooms where floor space is tight.
• Closet Doors: Bifold doors are a popular choice for closets. These doors fold outward when opened and lay flat when closed, providing easy access to the entire closet.
• Double Doors: Double doors are often used for larger openings, such as wide closet spaces. These doors can swing outward or be mounted on a sliding track, offering both style and functionality.

At our custom sliding doors shop, we offer a variety of door slabs and hardware packages to meet your specific needs. We can provide ready-to-install door packages that include everything you need - from the door itself to the necessary hardware.

The cost of barn doors and sliding doors varies depending on several factors, including the type of door, material, and hardware used.

• Barn Doors Price: Barn doors typically start at a few hundred dollars and can go up to several thousand depending on the size, material, and design.
• Sliding Doors Price: Sliding doors, including bypass doors, pocket doors, and double doors, also vary in price based on customization options. Prices for sliding doors generally range from $200 to $2,500 depending on the complexity of the installation and the materials used.

Material

Solid wood doors are often more expensive than hollow core doors. For enhanced soundproofing and durability, solid core doors are a preferred choice, although they come at a higher price.

Hardware

The cost of sliding door hardware can also affect the total price. Higher-end hardware options can add to the overall cost but provide smoother operation and a more stylish look.

Custom Design

Custom-designed barn or sliding doors can increase the price, especially if you're looking for unique finishes or features.
