Weather-Resistant Features for Oceanfront Properties
Being near the coast comes with its challenges, especially when it comes to exterior doors. Tailored doors designed for coastal homes, like Berkeley Mills’ Big Sur Pivot Door, feature saltwater-resistant materials such as treated hardwoods and reinforced seals to withstand salty air, gale-force winds, and moisture. These features ensure long-lasting durability without compromising visual appeal.
Choosing Marine-Grade Treatments
Marine-grade finishes are vital for protecting your custom doors from corrosion and fading caused by the harsh coastal elements. Premium coatings, including UV-resistant coatings and water-repellent treatments, increase the durability of your doors while protecting their aesthetic appeal. Such finishes are perfect for preserving vibrant colors and natural wood textures.
Integrating Natural Materials with Scenic Views
Coastal homes thrive on blending seamlessly into their surroundings. Custom doors featuring natural materials like wood and glass enhance the connection between the living areas and the outdoors. Wide glass panels with minimal frames, for instance, enable homeowners to enjoy panoramic ocean views while creating a seamless transition between the home and its environment.
