Inspired by the stripes of the Union Jack, this door is for all you Anglophiles out there. Two of these doors as a bi-parting system will create the perfect homage to the Union Jack flag. One on its own is a subtle nod to the land across the Pond. Add some British charm to your space with this twist on a classic barn door design.
The Beatles, the first cloned sheep, and afternoon tea—the Brits have given us so many gifts. That’s why we’re paying tribute with our British Brace barn door, modeled after the design of the UK flag. It combines the rustic feeling of a barn door with that certain British coolness. Whether as a single barn door or as a bi-parting system, it adds a striking focal point to any space.
With the mixture of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines, this door design is perfect for showing off the grain pattern of solid wood. Popular wood choices for this design include Padauk, Western Red Cedar, and Walnut. It’s available in two assembly styles: we can pre-assemble it for you or send you the planks and screws for DIY assembly.
Features:
The British Brace Barn Door is among our most popular designs because of its versatility. It goes well in rustic, farmhouse, transitional, and shabby chic décor schemes. Add sleek stainless steel hardware for an industrial look, Or opt for a blond wood like Maple for a hint of Scandi minimalism. You can truly make this door your own.
We highly recommend adding a clear finish to your door to protect it and make sure that it is eligible for coverage under our warranty. A clear finish not only protects your door, it also enhances its beauty while preserving its texture. Clear finish brings out the color and detail of the wood grain.
We offer the following finish options:
Check out our Wood Species Visualizer below to compare the raw wood with finished wood and explore our wood species options. Slide the toggle to the left for unfinished wood, and slide the toggle to the right for wood finished with Clear Satin EuroFinish.
Skilled artisans make all our doors by hand onsite in Gig Harbor, a small seaport town on the Puget Sound in Washington State.
RealCraft offers twenty different wood species from American classics like Alder and Hickory to exotic woods like Bubinga and Wenge. One of the reasons we love real wood so much is that it retains the character of its natural habitat. Wood species respond differently to humidity and temperature conditions. If you aren't sure which wood species to pick, call us at 1-253-853-3815.
For frequently asked questions about choosing a door and hardware see our FAQ page. If you're not sure what species is right for your space, or want to see the wood in person, you can order samples here.
Please note that doors will ship separately from sliding hardware when purchased together. Doors are pictured with hardware for context. Sliding hardware is sold separately, and not included with the purchase of a door. Doors are not pre-drilled for hardware. If you order a door and a hardware kit, we are unable to ship hardware installed on doors due to the risk of damage in transit.
We designed these doors with interior applications in mind. We don't recommend exterior use, and can't guarantee against warping or damage if you install your door outside. To have this door specially crafted for exterior use, call us at 1-253-853-3815 and we’ll be happy to help!
If you wish to customize the door even further, we can make your dream door a reality! Remember that customization will add to the lead time. If you need more than 10 doors, or if your project requires special consideration, please call 1-253-853-3815.
When determining the size of your barn door, we recommend that the door overlaps the doorway slightly. This minimizes gaps and provides some sound-muffling for privacy. An inch of overlap on each side is a good rule of thumb for barn doors. For example, a 36” x 80” doorway would need a 38” x 81” sliding barn door. If you would like more sound sealing, then a 2-inch overlap on either side is best. To make sure the door system looks tidy, your barn door should also completely cover any molding on the door opening when closed. So if you have molding, you’ll need to factor that into your measurements as well.
