Mission style is a design the emphasizes
simple horizontal and vertical lines and flat panels that accentuate the
grain of the wood. In addition, our mission style doors can also feature
stained glass designs inspired from traditional craftsman designs. Entry
doors of a Craftsman home follow the Arts and Crafts ideal of
artisan-crafted designs that complement both cottage homes and
bungalows. Craftsman doors typically have glass panes in the upper third
of the door separated from the lower flat wood panels by a thick piece
of trim or molding.Wood panels are simple but
may be grooved.
For
that true craftsman look and architectural style, add a dentil shelf to
your exterior door for that extra bit of curb appeal. The dentil shelf
is installed just under the top panel or glass of the door and meant to
add character.

Benefits of Solid Wood Doors
One of the biggest benefits of a solid wood door is how great it
looks. Its traditional style can provide much more curb appeal
to your home than other materials. As a natural and extremely
versatile building material, wooden doors come in a far wider
range of designs than their veneer, fibreglass or metal
counterparts. The craftsmanship is clearly visible, which adds
to the overall appeal. This appeal goes beyond looks. Wooden
doors bring about a traditional feel to your home and are an
excellent alternative to incite a sense of homeliness
Their versatility means they can be tailored (in size, style of
wood, and design) specifically to your home and aesthetic. As no
two pieces of wood are exactly the same, your wooden door will
be completely unique to you. The benefits of timber doors mean
that whether you prefer light wood, dark wood, painted surfaces,
tight grain, wide grain, simplicity or intricate design work,
anything is possible.
One of the key benefits of wooden doors is external security.
Wooden doors are incredibly strong, and developments in their
design and construction over their hundreds of years of
manufacture mean they can outlast some of their counterparts.
They are one of the few door materials that can be repaired, as
wood is malleable and easy to work with. This means a wooden
door will offer you great security and reliability over its long
life.
All of these things are important, but a wooden door benefits
you in another way as well. Wood retains fantastic insulation
properties, and with minimal maintenance, can improve your
home’s thermal efficiency. The properties of the material mean
that warmth is kept in, and noise is kept out more so than with
most other types of door. And because our wood comes from a
sustainable source, it’s environmentally friendly, too.
