No-Rot PVC Barn Door
If you're tired of barn doors that rot out or rust from moisture and hard use, you'll want to take a look at this new heavy-built maintenance-free PVC door that's built to last.The door is made of white 1 3/4-in. thick reinforced PVC panels "plasti-welded" together. The door won't rust or sag and you can't dent it, according to Harold Stump, president of R&D Equipment. Can be used for interior or exterior doors (the PVC panels are UV inhibited). When used on an exterior opening, the door can be filled with 1 1/ 4-in. thick rigid insulation.
The door is fitted with four double-leaf hinges and a "no-nonsense" steel latch that holds the door tightly but has no intricate mechanisms to fail. It also has a retractable sill-sealer that eliminates the need for a threshold. When the door shuts, the rubber seal drops down to close off the bottom of the door. As the door opens, the seal lifts up out of the way.
"It never needs painting and will look like new for years. It's fully weatherstripped," says Stump.
Standard 24, 32, and 36-in. widths avail-able to fit 81-in. high openings. Custom sizes also available.
