Homeowners love rolling doors, especially the rolling barn door. This eye-catching décor transforms your space, especially when the perfect hardware sets it off.
Rolling barn doors add personality to a room or home in a way that conventional doors just can’t.
Traditional, swing-open-and-shut style doors are excellent for complete privacy or if you need a secure lock, but they take up space when open and can get in the way when you’re moving things in and out of the room. A traditional door can prevent a piece of furniture fitting through by a fraction of an inch, and it’s such a pain to take a door off the hinges or remove a knob so you can get your new chair in the room. A rolling door gives you access to the full opening of a door, so going through is a breeze. Another benefit of rolling doors is that they make smart, space-saving choices in smaller spaces.
When you choose a rolling door, the mounting hardware you pick is part of the overall look—and the determining factor for how well your door works—so it’s an important decision. You’ll need attractive hardware that’s built to last, complements your décor theme, and makes the most appealing “frame” for your rolling door. That’s where Custom Service Hardware comes in.
Rolling Barn Doors: Convenient, Easy to Install, Stylish
The rise of rustic and farmhouse styles ushered in the current popularity of rolling barn doors. The simple fact that they’re such a cool-looking way to optimize smaller spaces solidified their place as a modern design choice. Rolling doors, also called sliding doors, now show up in any interior design theme, from the barn door style to glass, wood, and metal. No matter how you use a rolling door in your home or business, it’s always an excellent choice for a statement design that looks great—and it’s easier to install than hanging a traditional, fixed door.
- Rolling doors are convenient. They slide easily, so you can get them open even with your hands full–especially with superior hardware kits.
- A sliding door lends character to interior design. It’s normal to see barn doors or rolling doors distressed, decorated, or used as artistic details, which normally doesn’t happen with regular doors.
- Rolling doors are easier to install. Getting a traditional door hung in a pre-cut doorway means lots of precise measurements and possibly replacing the entire door frame to get it to fit. That’s a time consuming carpentry project. A barn door requires careful but easy installation of the hardware first, then you hang the door on it. After that, changing out the door is simple, which is a big bonus if you enjoy keeping your style fresh or redecorating often.
Rolling Door Design Ideas
Rolling doors work for interior and exterior spaces. Rolling doors can be aesthetic, functional, or both. Install them anywhere you have a doorway or need a partition in or between rooms.
- Interior barn doors: Applications include bathrooms, bedrooms, as a partition between a living and eating area, in the kitchen, and in studios, workspaces, and closets. Mini rolling barn doors are a unique choice for furniture and bathrooms.
- Exterior rolling doors: Use for workshops, pool houses, sheds, patios, greenhouses, or use mini barn doors as shutters.
- Bi-fold rolling barn doors: This style offers a unique look and saves space—it’s particularly effective for homeowners who want sliding doors that fold.
