Mid-Century Modern Sliding Side Window Door

A Sliding Side Window Door with Modern Glamour

Elegant, modern, and minimal, the Mid-Century Modern Side Lite Sliding Barn Door is one of our most popular sliding barn doors. It puts to bed the myth that a barn door can only look rustic. This sliding barn door offers an elegant look to any space with its clean, sleek lines and solid wood construction. The Modern Side Lite Door design complements many on-trend interior design schemes, including:

• Modern Décor
• Mid-Century Modern Décor
• Minimalist Décor
• Coastal Décor

Sliding Door systems offer space-saving advantages compared to swinging doors. If you're looking for a way to maximize floor space in tight hallways or small rooms, a sliding barn door is just what you need. This striking modern design can be used for standard sliding door applications, bi-parting (double), or bypassing systems. Pair it with your favorite sliding hardware style for a smooth and stylish operation. For a door as sleek and modern as this one, we favor the minimalist Aero kit or Stainless Steel Swiss Rod. 

This modern barn door design is also available as a swinging barn door option.

Wood Species

RealCraft has the most robust wood species offering on the market: twenty premium and responsibly sourced wood species. We have options for every budget and every taste. You're sure to find an option that's perfect for your unique style. Customer favorites for this door include: 

• Quarter Sawn White Oak
• Premium Walnut
• Wenge
• Sapele Mahogany

It is important to note that wood is a living, natural material with unique properties. Every wood species is unique and will react differently to different humidity and temperature conditions. If you have questions about what wood species would work better for your project, just give us a call!

Glass Options

Make sure to consider privacy when selecting the glass for your door. Choose from the standard clear glass for a fully transparent look or the etched option for a frosted finish and more privacy.

Skilled artisans make all our doors by hand onsite in Gig Harbor, a small seaport town on the Puget Sound in Washington State. 

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! Please understand 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 to minimize gaps and provide 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 it looks as intentional as possible, 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.

RealCraft offers twenty different wood species from budget-friendly to exotic and rare. One of the reasons we love real wood so much is that it carries 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.  

We recommend adding a clear finish to your door to protect it and ensure that it is eligible to be covered by our warranty.  A clear finish not only protects your door, it also enhances the door’s beauty while preserving its natural, unique 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.  

Oil Stain EuroFinish by Osmo: A premium hand-rubbed hardwax oil that stains, seals, and finishes the wood.
