Personalize Your Door With The Proper Wood Species
A trend started about 10 years ago that I took note of then, but didn’t do and that trend was painting interior doors black (yes, both sides!). Have you noticed that one? It’s one of those subtle little changes that can make a huge impact and I’m loving this one.
You have several options concerning the paint application. This includes brushing, rolling and spraying the finish paint. Before the paint can be applied it needs to be conditioned. For brushing, rolling or spraying use a little paint conditioner, Flotrol for water base paints or Penitrol for oil base paints. Add enough to allow the paint to flow on the surface and not be sticky. Follow the manufactures instructions. Painting Doors with a Paint Brush
Poplar is the most economical wood species. The species can be stained or painted and is best used in sheltered environments such as under an overhang or porch where the door will not take on the brunt of the weather. Poplar works great for paint grade interior doors and screen doors being installed in sheltered location. All exterior entrance doors whether exposed or protected will not be made in poplar. All screen doors that are fully exposed to the elements should be made in a different wood species.
The owners recently purchased this home in Boulder, Colorado and contracted with Maurer Painting to paint the complete interior. Now this home had all natural wood trim and doors and super deep color on all the walls, ceilings were high and vaulted in some areas The new owners wanted to take the trim to all white, doors to all black and walls to a very light neutral color along with the ceilings! Not an easy task given all the angles and deep color transitions but as you can see Maurer Painting pulled it off with a super clean look and really clean lines between color changes!!
