Sliding barn doors are a unique design feature that add a modern yet rustic feel to living spaces. They're a great creative way to bring charm, function and personality into your home. Rolling barn doors offer more than just visual appeal, which helps make them more popular than traditional swing doors.
Benefits of Barn Doors
Save Space
Sliding barn doors are perfect for homes with small rooms and thus are very popular today. Traditional swing doors require a certain amount of space to open, which is a luxury that small apartments cannot give up. Ordinary sliding doors can sometimes damage walls with door handles and block walkways. While barn doors require some space in the wall to open effectively, they don't take up as much floor space as swing doors.
This stylish and unique feature is especially useful in small apartments where homeowners place furniture near the door. Sliding barn doors are a great option in homes where the typical door will open into the living space. In this case, a traditional door restricts access to another part of the house until the door is closed. The barn door simply slides open for easy access to and from the room.
Easy Installation
Another benefit of sliding barn doors is that they are easy to install. Regular doors require accurate measurements before they can be installed in the doorway. Any miscalculations when noting down the dimensions will prevent the door from closing or opening properly.
If you plan to replace a traditional door, you may end up replacing the entire door frame. This operation may end up being an expensive woodworking project that is not in your budget. At the same time, barn sliding doors are very simple to install. Even after installation, you can easily replace it later when redecorating or updating your interior design style.
Powerful Functions
Sliding barn doors offer amazing functionality. At WEKIS, we can make them out of lightweight materials that allow little ones to open and close them easily. Leaving the barn door wide open can provide enough room for you and even large pieces of furniture to pass through the doorway.
design flexibility
Sliding barn doors are stylish and customizable to suit any desired aesthetic. Doors first came into the spotlight with the advent of the "shabby chic" style. The interior design combines rustic décor with metal and wooden furniture.
With a little imagination, you'll see that barn doors can fit many styles. Natural wood barn doors with metal trim look stunning in urban, country, and nature-inspired settings. Their clean and simple shapes are also a great addition to a minimalist modern home.
