To instantly improve the curb appeal of your home, consider installing some wood doors. Whether a elegant or rustic in style, wood doors are always a classic choice for your home. Estate Millwork uses the latest design technology to create custom wood doors that fit your space perfectly. A good-fitting door will help insulate your home, lowering your heating and cooling costs.
The front door of your home is the first thing people see when they come visit, so of course, you'll want to make the best first impression you can. In this article we'll discuss some ways to do that with custom wood doors. Wood doors give your home an elegant, traditional look, and with the latest custom door design technology, you also can make sure the doors fit your exact tastes and specifications.
Custom Design Tools
First of all, what style is your home's architecture? Is it custom, classic, craftsman, bungalow? Mediterranean? All these styles have their own suitable doors and you should pick the right one for your home. Estate Millwork’s master craftsmen can create detailed replicas of wood doors from many historical periods.
On our Web site, you'll find Custom Online Design Tools that let you design custom wood doors and receive pricing estimates for made-to-order wooden doors. We offer options including door styles, wood types, finishes, and other add-ons like weather stripping, jambs and stops, and privacy panels.
Heavy, sturdy custom wood exterior doors promote excellent insulation and air flow in your home. Real wood doors provide superior insulation to cheap particle board filler and veneer. Often, customers find that installing a set of precisely fitting custom doors can help them lower their heating and cooling bills.
Our products are manufactured in the United States, in the Allegheny Mountains of Western Pennsylvania. Our craftsmen have generations of experience in wood products including forestry management, timber cutting, log sawing, planning, drying and millwork. One family that works in our plant is on their fourth generation of wood workers, and we have a lumber vendor that is on their 7th generation, dating to Revolutionary War Times.
The utility-grade doors you'll find at big-box stores don't compare to the custom wood doors produced by Estate Millwork. Our doors -- made from all-natural wood, built to last decades -- are the better deal in the long run.
Mortise-and-tenon joinery
Although there are less expensive methods of joining a door's parts together, the moritse and tenon joint has been used for hundreds of years because it is so strong. We are able to manufacture to this high standard because we have invested in automatic equipment that takes the cost and time out of the process without sacrificing the quality. The joinery in our doors is indistinguishable from the joinery of doors made at the height of the furniture making renaissance, the 18th century.

Use true hardwood
Starting with long cuts of top-grade hardwood, we select each board by hand for our wood doors.
We make elegant, solid hardwood doors that do not have any of the aesthetic or structural limitations of veneer, hollow or particle doors. Our doors are surprisingly inexpensive, given that they may have 10 times as much hardwood in them as a composite door. The use of true hardwood gives the best finish, the best contouring and profiles, the most strength and heft, and is highly preferable for applications where appearance is important. We are very careful in our selection of materials and do all processing of rough lumber in house so that we can control quality.
True hardwood gives the you doors that not only look great, but stand the test of time. Solid hardwood is exceptionally hardy and can withstand decades of sun, wind, or scuffing. You want your custom doors to be built to last. Read more on our wood doors.
A wood like cedar can withstand hurricane-force winds, rain, and scorching heat. On the other hand, it's pliable enough to be carved into different shapes. Compared to other woods like pine, sycamore, and chestnut, cedar is a tougher, more durable choice.
Wood is also a healthy choice for your custom doors, especially if you have children. Unlike vinyl, wood is a natural material and free of chemicals.
All of our wooden doors are crafted from sustainable-harvest timber. The plant is green, too: we at Estate Millwork pride ourselvse on enforcing strict temperature controls and recycling requirements in the plant. In this way, the company keeps manufacturing costs -- and prices -- down.
