Enjoy A “Cuppa” With This England Inspired Sliding Farmhouse Door
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.
Features:
- Real, solid wood planks
- 1-3/4" thickness
- Your choice of flat head screw finish
- Twenty wood species and twelve finish options
- Compatible with all sliding hardware
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.
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!

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.

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:
- White Primer: Added to Paint Grade Hardwood. For this option, we use only high-quality hardwoods like European Beech or Red Grandis. These species provide a smooth surface for paint.
- Clear Satin Eurofinish by Osmo: A premium hand-rubbed hardwax oil that conditions, seals, and finishes the wood. This is our recommended finish for all doors because it retains the wood’s texture and natural color.
- Oil Stain EuroFinish by Osmo: A premium hand-rubbed hardwax oil that stains, seals, and finishes the wood.
