Start Your New Year Off Right with a Custom Barn Door

And Where to Find a Custom Barn Door Company in Kansas City

When you think of Kansas City, you think of our historic jazz scene, the iconic fountains, and the alluring smoke of countless BBQ grills across the area. These facets of the city have cemented themselves as mainstays in our Midwestern culture, which has always been deeply rooted in farming, agriculture, and the livestock trade.

Although Kansas City now represents our modern urban core, you can still see callbacks to the late 1800s and early 1900s throughout our culture, arts scene, and design. Few interior design products capture the rustic spirit of the Midwest quite like custom barn doors. Originally created for their functionality, barn door designs have since evolved into stylistic statement pieces that can elevate any entryway.

If you’re looking for the perfect way to upgrade your home this holiday season, custom barn doors for sale deliver that extra touch of style and functionality your office, bedroom, or dining area has been missing. Read on to learn more about how Walston Architectural Products in Kansas City is helping homeowners elevate their space in 2023.

What Are Custom Barn Doors? How Are They Better Than Regular Doors?

Custom barn doors are aesthetically based upon the original doors used on barns. Because traditional barn doors were extremely heavy and durable, it decreased the chances of the wind being able to blow them open and spook livestock and horses.

The custom barn doors handcrafted by Walston Architectural Products utilize barn door designs that pay homage to the original era in which they were conceptualized while thinking outside the box with other, more modern designs. The custom barn door designs offered through Walston Architectural Products in Kansas City come in three distinct series, each with their own price range and customization options:

• Builder Series
• Designer Series
• Premium Series

Beyond the aesthetics, the other major differentiating attribute of custom barn doors is their functionality. As homeowners know, traditional doors swing open and closed, meaning that anything in their pathway needs to be removed.

By comparison, custom barn doors are low profile, meaning they are installed to slide parallel along the wall. This affords homeowners more space to work with that they didn’t previously have, which is perfect for spaces where every square foot matters.
