At a minimum, look for the following:
- Finish methods and processes should seal all six sides of your door with top-of-the-line finishes to prevent weather and water damage. The highest retail grades or commercial grades are what you are looking for. Under NO circumstances should you allow any contractor graded materials into the finish of your door. Contractor graded products are manufactured around two major requirements; low cost and speed. Quality rarely enters into the equation with contractor materials.
Your new carriage house door will be strong, warm, quiet, and weatherproof with the addition of these quality standards for your hand-made carriage house door.
