We are passionate about simplicity, which is why we strive to made it easy to understand our standard door details and options. Find listed below all our standards and options included with every carriage door order.
Many of our doors are solidly built of Clear Vertical Grain Douglas Fir (VGDF). Native to the Pacific Northwest, this reddish-blond wood is beautiful, stable, and has a high strength-to-weight ratio. Other standard woods include Rustic Alder and German Beech. See Construction Upgrades for wood species upgrades.
We fabricate our solid wood doors with the Mortise and Tenon style of joinery. Our standard doors are sanded to a full 1-3/4" thick.
One weatherstripped astragal come standard with each carriage door set to seal the gap at the center when closed. For a superior seal, add another astragal to the other door.
The beveled edge of the raised panel accentuates the clean lines of a Craftsman door. Choose this panel type for an Arts and Crafts look to your project.
The simple flat panel is a staple of the unadorned Shaker Style. The absence of ornament makes it a great choice for a contemporary or modern door as well.
Standard in the Classic Line, true tongue and groove boards add old-world charm and emphasize a door's verticality. The V-Groove pattern is also commonly seen in barn doors and other historic door types.
RCD's signature detail, the curved mullion adds graceful arcs to a door for a touch of elegance. Appoint your custom carriage or entry door with curved mullions.
Flat mullions are beautiful in their own right, neatly dividing the panes of glass into even sections. This more traditional mullion is a better fit for historic restorations.
Chamfering the edges of a door's joints creates shadow lines that can add impact to a door's presence, especially from a distance.
For a door with subtle, simple character, opt for flat edging. The smooth joints evoke an effortless creation.
