Barn door hardware you need for the best results
There are so many ways to customise your barn door.
Some of them involve careful consideration of placement, paint, and colour.
Others involve both the mechanics and aesthetics of your barn door, as with our barn door products.
At Rolltrak, we offer a helpful selection of hardware to suit your needs when you are thinking of installing a barn door.
We provide everything from barn door tracks, handles, and accessories, to our new knockdown steel and glass barn doors, so make sure you take a look at our range.
This article outlines some tips you might not have thought of when customising your barn door for your home.
Read on to find out more.
Placement
People often don’t realise that where they place their Rolltrak barn door has a significant impact on the effect it generates.
Some barn doors demand attention, and this can be emphasised with clever use of colour (we’ll get to that later), while others are more of a footnote to a room.
Do consider where you could put your Rolltrak barn door track and if you want your door to be a feature or a less conspicuous entryway.
Popular placements for a barn door include in the ensuite, between kitchens and lounge rooms, as pantry doors, for bathrooms leading into living areas or hallways, and even as cabinet doors in kitchens and sitting rooms.
Colour harmony
Without studying a PhD in colour theory, it’s entirely possible to understand how different colours make you feel.
Bright warm colours like red, yellow, and orange grab attention and have a sense of high energy, so bear this in mind if you are thinking of pairing your Rolltrak barn door hardware with vibrant barn doors.
Cooler colours have a more relaxed, calming effect and seem to recede into the background, while warm colours seem to jump forward in space.
If you want a sense of subtlety when choosing the door to go with your Rolltrak barn door hardware, look to the colours used in the rest of the room and choose a hue that harmonises with them.
You can see that this is the approach taken in the above video, with hues that match and coordinate well together.
Barn door hardware
Our hardware offers you endless ways to customise the look of your barn door.
First, let’s consider the barn door track.
You can choose from side-mounted to top-mounted to round barn door tracks, which all come in a wide range of designs and colours.
You may want to match your barn door hardware so that your tracks coordinate with your handle, or you may want to choose a unique or feature handle, as in the video above.
At Rolltrak, we offer handles ranging from raised, pull, double pull, finger pull, and recessed handles.
Each option provides a distinct look to your Rolltrak barn door set.
Helpful extra hints
If your Rolltrak barn door tracks are destined to adorn a bathroom door, you might want to think about the nature of the wood you choose.
Solid hardwood will prevent embarrassing noises from seeping through the door.
Another tip is to ensure you use a door that is the right size for your opening. Providing a snug fit will eliminate gaps between the door and doorway where sound can escape.
For the extra privacy that a bathroom requires, choose from our range of door latches.
To prevent slamming of any Rolltrak barn door, use our barn door soft closer while our floor guides keep barn doors safely on their tracks.
Using our Rolltrak barn door products is a simple way of customising your door to your intended purpose and aesthetics.
