DOUGLAS FIR
Interested in a door with charm, strength and exceptional stain or paint possibilities? Douglas fir adds natural beauty and can be employed in virtually any door style to match a wide range of architectural styles. Its tight, vertical grain patterns and warm coloring add design allure. Known for its resistance to rot and pests, a painted or stained Douglas fir door can uphold its beautiful appearance and last for generations in many types of climates and weather conditions with proper protection and periodic maintenance.
KNOTTY ALDER
Both sturdy and stunning, the informal presence of knotty alder complements rustic, western or Mediterranean design. This visually appealing yet highly resilient wood species is the softest of hardwoods, characterized by areas of elegant burls and open, solid knots. Knotty alder's beautiful hues range from light honey with tints of peach to light brown with cherry accents. This medium-density hardwood features a fine grain, made even more pronounced and eye-catching with stains and other finishing treatments.
SAPELE MAHOGANY
The distinctive patterns created by the wood's reddish-brown coloring and eye-catching graining make sapele mahogany a popular choice with many homeowners. With a medium hardness superior to most North American species, sapele mahogany is a reliable wood that provides optimal resistance from the elements in exterior applications. Not to mention, sapele mahogany's tight pore and grain structure are optimal for staining.
WHITE OAK
Light in tone yet rich in color, white oak doors provide a contemporary look that perfectly suits modern design while simultaneously evoking a sense of warmth and comfort. The striking, organic grain of white oak reveals a rich finish when stained. It's a hard and heavy wood with intense flecks of rays and patterns that bring a reflective quality and character to your exterior door. In application, the rugged durability that the wood species provides is appealing to most homeowners.
MAKE A GRAND ENTRANCE – AND KEEP IT THAT WAY
Your beautiful wood front door is similar to a piece of fine furniture. Would you set your dining room table outdoors without protection from the elements? All exterior building products require maintenance and wood doors are no exception.
To start, location and climate impact your door's maintenance. Live in a cloudy, cool climate? There's a bright side: your door's finish will require less upkeep than areas with more UV rays. Regardless of location, most exterior doors must meet overhang requirements to ensure protection from harsh weathering.
Lacking an adequate overhang? Fortunately, Longxuan Door Company makes it possible to preserve your statement-making entrance with our longxuan technology upgrades. Developed for exterior wood doors subject to harsher environments, these enhancements offer maximum protection without sacrificing the custom-made look you expect from Longxuan Door Company.
Doors with the WaterBarrier technology upgrade incorporate a medium density overlay (MDO) over exterior surfaces, which keeps water out and is a beautiful surface for paint. The interior of the door can be painted or stained. And all doors with WaterBarrier carry a 5-year warranty with no overhang required.
Longxuan's high-performance doors combine exceptional durability and a stunning aesthetic without requiring an overhang to maintain their 10-year warranty.
