Species
There are really no right or wrong answers. These are all
individual preferences and based on your personal taste.
So what’s really important to know?
First choose your species.
Should it be a hardwood or a softwood – and what’s the
difference? A hardwood such as Maple, Oak, Cherry and
Knotty Alder offers strength and stability. Softwoods such
as Pine can bring a charming weathered quality to your
home. Keep in mind wood species of all kinds will exhibit
some color changes when exposed to light.
Painting or Staining?
Different species react differently when stain is applied
depending upon the characteristics of the wood. Lighter
stains will show more of the natural traits and color
variances in the wood. Darker stains can look beautiful
but may hide the natural color of the wood.
Painting of course will cover the wood color entirely but
allows for design flexibility. Stronger grain patterns or
hairline cracks may be pronounced enough to show
through the paint.
How do I choose a door? Which species is best? Should I paint or stain?
If I want glass, do I have any options? Can I mix species?
