Choosing the Right Wood Door Style
Finding the right wood door depends on your home's architecture and your personal design preferences. Popular styles include:
Panel Doors
Timeless and elegant, panel doors are ideal for traditional, Mediterranean, or Spanish-style homes.
Flush Doors
Sleek and minimalist, flush doors work well in modern or transitional settings.
Carriage-Style Doors
Rustic with classic charm, these are great for Craftsman or farmhouse aesthetics.
Glass-Inset Wood Doors
Perfect for letting natural light in while maintaining privacy and design impact.
In our showroom, you can compare styles side by side and even see hardware, glass, and color samples in person.
Durability and Maintenance
Wood is a durable, long-lasting material when properly protected. In Southern California’s climate, it is essential to:
- Use quality sealants and UV-resistant finishes
- Refinish exposed doors annually or as needed
- Clean the door surface regularly
- Check and adjust hardware for proper function
With the right care, your wood door will last for decades while maintaining its beauty and structural integrity.
Performance and Security
Wood doors are not only beautiful—they are strong and secure. Solid-core wood doors provide excellent protection when paired with:
- High-quality deadbolt systems
- Multi-point locks
- Reinforced frames
- Proper weather stripping
Visit our showroom to see these security options in action and ask our team about customizing your door for maximum protection.
Installation Expectations
When you order a wood door through Tashman, we ensure a smooth and professional installation process.
Most projects include:
- Precise pre-installation measurement
- Removal of the existing door and frame
- Fitting and leveling of the new door
- Sealing, finishing, and cleanup
- Final inspection and hardware setup
Installation times vary, but many standard projects are completed in one day. Custom or oversized installations may require more time.
Energy Efficiency and Comfort
Wood is a naturally insulating material. When installed with proper sealing and weatherproofing, it can help reduce heat transfer and outside noise, keeping your home quieter and more comfortable year-round.
We also offer wood doors with insulated glass panels and advanced thresholds for enhanced performance.
