Wood Front
The chances are you go shopping at home depots with your dream home in your head. That postcard-perfect home most likely has an elegant front door made from wood, exquisitely handcrafted and well-worn with family history. In reality, wooden doors do not wear well. Beaten down by climate change and overuse, they eventually look like something the cat dragged in – crumbling, fractured and misshapen. For this reason, more and more architects and developers are building dream houses using alternatives to wood. Fiberglass, specifically, is not susceptible to the same weathering as wood and now accepted widely as a favorable surface material for doors. Among newer door products, Barrington fiberglass entry doors stand out for being designed to parallel the majestic doors of old but possess innovative qualities that were not possible with wood. Barrington is the upmarket product line of the long-established Masonite name. Being one of the most highly rated door brands in the market, it should easily be a top choice when buying exterior doors.
Masonite would know all about traditional doors as it has been in the business of building products for over 80 years. Based out of Tampa, Florida, the company did not closet itself with archaic thinking but rather adapted its classical aesthetic to modern times by focusing resources on research and development in door manufacturing. The real strength of its Barrington, Belleville and Oakcraft products lies in putting technology on a par with good old skillfulness. The Barrington brand’s best features are contemporary but still emulate the meticulous craftsmanship evident in older doors. A sure highlight of these features is the variable-depth wood grain surface on Barrington fiberglass entry doors, interior doors and patio doors. Finished with a choice of mahogany or oak texture, the wood grain surface has been fashioned after the beautiful hardwood doors that would get homeowners to fire up in the past. Another highlight would be the use of Masonite’s proprietary decorative glass, custom-glazed to be wider than generic glass inserts, with narrower stiles and rails, in a wide variety of glass designs.
Fiberglass is synonymous with product innovation, to which Masonite is no stranger. Founder William Mason, a researcher, engineer and inventor, had innovated the use of wood to create building materials in 1924. The company has one of the largest R&D facilities for steel, composite, fiberglass and wood doors. Barrington fiberglass doors all exhibit careful attention to detail that makes them ideal as residential focal points. It is evident in how the raised moulding has been incorporated into the door facing so that both come as one singular piece, unlike plant-on appliques that can later break apart from the door. A square-edge design constitutes special glass frames that have been constructed to align correctly with the panel while the lock area has been reinforced to ensure a solid mounting surface. All feature bottom rails using composite material resistant to rotting and engineered hinge and lock stiles with laminated lumber.
Curb appeal should not be overlooked when buying Barrington fiberglass entry doors. The Sierra series complements Southwest, Spanish or Mediterranean architecture. It boasts the first and only non-glazed, opaque finish on a Barrington door. A 2-panel camber top design and custom panel profile are its other components, with options of planks and matching full sideline panels. The Craftsman series matches up to mission or craftsman home designs. It features three recessed panels and a one-lite glazing system, with the option of matching one-panel, one-lite sidelite panel. With so many elements to consider, buyers could certainly use customer support and follow-through. A trusted name like Masonite should be reliable in this department even as the competition is folding after making a sale.
