Door styles are a major design element that impacts your home’s aesthetic. The right custom doors enhance curb appeal, create a welcoming ambiance and offer security.
From humid summers to chilly winters, Huntsville’s varying weather conditions require exterior doors that resist moisture and temperature fluctuations. These exterior doors also need to offer insulation and energy efficiency.
Panel Doors
Panel doors feature raised or flat panels set into frames, providing a classic look that can complement many design styles. Traditional wood panel doors are a staple of colonial, shaker, prairie and Victorian homes, but can also be used to bring a more modern aesthetic to any home.
Our 5 Panel Interior Door features five equally sized, rectangular, recessed panels that run the full length of this hinged door. This door is customizable with any panel insert you want, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind interior door that fits your home’s style perfectly.
Double doors with glass are a beautiful addition to any home, creating a grand entrance while amplifying natural light and enhancing the aesthetic of your entryway. Sun Mountain offers 25+ decorative glass styles for residential doors, and we can even customize a door with your own one-of-a-kind glass. All of our glass styles are tempered for safety and building code compliance. Contact us for more information on our custom glass options.
Slab Doors
Slab doors are essentially rectangular slabs of door material without the frame and hinges that accompany their pre-hung cousins. They can include a variety of features that serve both practical purposes, like security, and aesthetic flourishes to complement your home’s overall design.
Alternatively, you can opt for a pocket door that slides into a space in the wall to save room. Slab doors can also feature glass and/or a metal vision lite to provide light and visibility while maintaining commercial safety standards in a workspace.
Other options include storm doors to protect exterior openings from severe weather, pests and other outdoor elements. Then there are fire-rated glass, metal vision lites and louvers designed for commercial and industrial spaces to ensure code compliance. Lastly, stainless steel doors are available for spaces that require durability and low maintenance. For instance, they’re ideal for food processing plants, hospitals and airports. They’re also resistant to rust, corrosion and harsh chemicals.
Flat Panel Cabinet Doors
Flat panel cabinet doors, also known as slab cabinets, offer a sleek aesthetic without the raised panels and ornamental details of traditional styles. These doors consist of one complete slab of flat wood and have straight 90-degree angles, which can be easy to clean and maintain.
Slab doors can be constructed from a variety of materials, including wood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), or laminate. Wood offers a natural, timeless appeal while MDF and laminate provide affordability and durability.
The finish you choose for your kitchen cabinetry can dramatically impact the overall look of your space. For example, a dark stain can enhance the texture and dimension of raised panel cabinet doors while a white finish can reflect more light onto the flat surfaces. The right hardware can also complement the modern aesthetic of slab and glass-insert cabinet doors, maximizing their transparency and light-enhancing capabilities.
Sliding Doors
The modern, sleek look of sliding doors allows natural light to filter into your living spaces while providing a means of separating, connecting, and framing your home’s interior. They also increase ventilation and energy efficiency.
Window World of Huntsville’s sliding patio doors feature a heavy-duty mainframe and sash construction for exceptional durability and performance. Plus, our insulated glass units are designed to achieve high energy-efficiency ratings. This means you’ll spend less on heating and cooling your home, year after year.
For additional energy efficiency, pair your sliding doors with a Lennox home ventilation system in Huntsville. This efficient system works best in chillier climates and replaces flat indoor air with fresh outdoor air, helping to reduce energy costs while eliminating mildew, odors, and other unhealthy pollutants from your household.
