Locally Crafted Barn Doors

What is a Barn Door?

As the name suggests, barn doors were originally designed for use in barns and other large agricultural buildings to cover wide openings. Their sliding mechanism was preferred over hinged doors because it allowed for easier movement of large, heavy doors, especially where space was limited. Traditionally, timber barn doors weren’t used in homes due to the smaller doorways and because they didn’t offer the same level of insulation against drafts and noise. However, with modern advancements in design and hardware, barn doors have evolved into a stylish and practical solution for interior spaces, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Why Barn Doors are the Perfect Addition to Any Home.

Barn doors have become a stylish and functional choice for modern homes, blending rustic charm with practical benefits. Your local joiner “Lemlex Joinery”, takes pride in crafting custom barn doors that elevate the design of any room while offering versatile space-saving solutions.

What Makes Barn Doors Special?

Barn doors slide along a track mounted above the doorway, rather than swinging open like traditional doors. This means they are ideal for rooms where space is at a premium, such as bathrooms, laundry areas, or closets. Not only are they practical, but their timeless design can make a bold statement in both contemporary and classic homes.

Here are just a few reasons why a custom and handmade barn door might be the perfect addition to your home:

1. Space-Saving Solution.

Because barn doors slide along a wall, they eliminate the need for floor space that swinging doors require. This can be especially useful in tighter areas like small bathrooms or narrow hallways.

2. Customizable Design, size and finish.

At Lemlex Joinery, we craft barn doors tailored to your needs and style preferences. Whether you prefer a minimalist look with clean lines or a more rustic appearance with natural wood grains, we work with you to design a door that suits your home’s aesthetics.

The finishing process is where your barn door truly comes to life. Depending on your preference, we can supply sanded only for you or your painter to finish or we can apply a variety of finishes. A simple clear varnish highlights the natural beauty of the wood or we can apply custom stains that match your home’s interior. For those seeking a more contemporary look, we also offer painted finishes in a wide range of colours.

Before applying the finish, we sand the entire door again, ensuring it is completely smooth and ready to absorb the chosen finish evenly. This step ensures a flawless surface and a professional, high-end appearance.

Once the finish is applied, the door is left to dry and cure, creating a protective layer that enhances the wood’s durability and adds a rich depth to the colour. Whether you want a satin, matte, or glossy finish, we work with you to achieve the perfect look.

3. Durability and Quality.

Our barn doors are made from high-quality materials that ensure longevity. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, each door is carefully handcrafted like a unique piece of furniture at our local joinery workshop in Beaufort. Our highly

skilled team cares about every small detail, from the wood choice to the coating, while ensuring your door is sturdy and perfectly fitted for your space.

4. Aesthetic Appeal.

Barn doors add character to a home. They evoke a sense of craftsmanship and history, but with a modern twist. Whether you’re going for a farmhouse vibe or looking to contrast sleek, modern interiors with something a bit more organic, a barn door is an excellent design choice.
