4 things you didn't know about the Lite Frosted Barn White Prefinished Door

What happens when you combine modern design elements into one product? You get the elegant and innovative Lite Frosted Barn White Prefinished door. 

Contemporary homes combine beauty, practicality and sustainability. Form and function marry to create serene aesthetics. With minimalist squares that allow filtered light to pass through, this door is definitely a design feature whose beauty compliments its functionality. 

A space-saving solution to swinging doors, this door will fashionably cover your closets or create light, but private, spaces in your home.

Light and Beauty

EightDoor’s Lite Frosted Barn White Prefinished door is perfect for allowing natural light through while still creating privacy.

It is an elegant option for separating the master bedroom from the master bath, or office from living space. This door can be used as a single sliding barn door, or paired with another to create a regal thoroughfare from room to room. 

It’s white paint finish allows for this door’s minimalist symmetry to speak for itself. The pure beauty of this door is on par with the design trends of 2020. Simplicity, pragmatism, warmth and minimalism are all aesthetics this door encompasses.

Ease

Ease is not often a word that comes to mind when thinking about remodeling your home. This door requires no additional painting or staining before you hang it. One less thing for you to have to worry about! 

Barn doors conserve space in situations where a swinging door is impractical or restrictive.

While standard doors need a wide area to open and close, barn doors only require adequate wall space, meaning you can make maximum use of your square footage for furniture and decor. This really matters in small homes!

On the other end of the spectrum, if your home has a more open layout, adding a  barn door can be the perfect solution for creating more intimate spaces.

The blended dining room and kitchen is nice, but sometimes you want to be able to hide away the mess you made in the kitchen. Installing barn doors can give you the option of privacy, while still providing easy access to the kitchen while you host a dinner party!

EightDoor’s Lite Frosted Barn White Prefinished door is superior to pocket doors that are always falling off of their tracks. With the proper hardware, using this door will be as smooth as our expedient shipping process. 

Specs

The door’s natural beauty is apparent, but do its insides match its exterior? We know it does!

The Lite Frosted Barn White Prefinished door is made of solid wood with MDF engineered veneer. This type of door is very resistant to humidity related damages. Because it is solid, it provides excellent acoustic insulation for maximum privacy.

Because the tempered, frosted glass lets light through, you may even save on electricity!

Now down to business; this door is made for interior use only. It is fully finished and shouldn’t be painted or stained. 

For complete privacy, we suggest that the opening width of the door jam be 4 inches smaller than the width of the door, which allows for 2 inches of overlap per side.

Sustainability

This solid wood door is made in accordance with FSC regulations. By buying this door, you support us in using ethically sourced materials.

The FSC is a non-profit with high standards for sustainably sourced wood. To receive the certification, the wood must be harvested from forests that are responsibly managed, socially beneficial, environmentally conscious, and economically viable.

We are proud to be FSC certified, because high quality products must come from high quality sources. 

We don’t use wood from:

  • Areas where civil and traditional rights have been infringed;
  • Forests with high conservation value;
  • Genetically modified forests;
  • Illegally exploited forest areas;
  • Areas in which the native forest is converted into plantations.

All of our wood comes from renewable tree farms. When trees are cut down, new trees are planted in their place.

We are proud to say that we do not support unethical environmental and social practices when we source our materials. We feel good about the origin of our materials, so you can rest assured that you are getting the best door for you and yours.

Our manufacturing process is uniquely sustainable, the wood scraps that are not used in our doors are used to make energy to power our factory. This creates a sustainable energy cycle that we are very proud of!

        1. Hi Caroline!

    42-in x 96-in White Finished Prefinished 5-Panel Wood Pine Barn Door. They are out of stock at Lowe’s, Home Depot and Wayfair.
    Thank you

    1. Hello Carolina!
      Thanks for choosing EightDoors,
      The new batch will be available next week, between October 06th-08th.
      Have a great day!

  3. Hello! Can the 42-in x 96-in White Finished Prefinished 5-Panel Wood Pine Barn Door be painted another color? If so, what approach should be taken?

    1. Hi Lilya,

      This is a painted product, but you can paint the color you like with any paint meant for wood products. There are some cares you should be aware of, the door should be lightly sanded, even inside the slits and especially on the corners, so the new paint can adhere well and uniformly. Make sure to wait enough time for the coat to dry before applying next coat.

      Thanks!
      Luis

  4. Are there any instructions for holes when attaching to track system? The instructions that come with the door give no information.

    1. Hi Alvin,

      Thanks for choosing EightDoors,

      The 5-Lite Barn Door does not have the groove at the bottom rail for the guide. We recommend to use a external guide so it is not necessary to make the groove.

  5. eightdoors 36 in. x 84 in. 5 Frosted Glass Solid Core White Finished Interior Barn Door Slab

    Hi, I am interested in this door but it has to be cut down for a basement that has a lower ceiling. I need to know the exact measurements for the wood portion that is below the glass and above the glass at the top and the bottom. Basically I need to see if I can trim the door down. But I cannot find any specifications that give that information. Please help.

    1. Hello Melanie, thanks for choosing EightDoors!
      The bottom rail is 9-11/64-in. tall and the top rail is 6-7/64-in. tall.
      This door has a trimming allowance of 1-in at the bottom rail and 1/4 on each side, this trimming is covered by the warranty. Further trimming can expose the dowels and leak the door structure.
      Thanks!

      1. Is there a reason the door sizes are exact? Where do I videos on how to trim the door? Normally a 30×80 door is about 1/4in or so smaller to accommodate for the hinges and height. It seems trimming takes away from the beauty of the door.

        1. Hello Dee, happy Friday!
          The sizes we indicate in the product page are the actual sizes of the door slab. The exception are the bifold door models, because we also consider the size of the track. For example, in a bifold door, the 80-in. height indicated is the sum of the door slab and track. So you will need a 80″ opening to install the door. If you need any further info, please email us at doors@eightdoors.com. Our customer service will be glad to assit you.
          Thanks!
