Selecting the right exterior wood door goes beyond choosing a wood species or finish. From custom residences in Coral Gables and Pinecrest to homes in Coconut Grove, exterior wood doors offer a range of options that enhance design, convenience, safety, and performance. Four key options include oversized dimensions, electronic access control, impact approval, and exposure-rated materials.
Oversized Exterior Wood Doors Make a Lasting First Impression
Oversized custom exterior wood doors create a striking entrance while complementing homes with tall ceilings and expansive façades. Their larger dimensions offer greater design flexibility and can enhance the overall architectural presence of a home. EWD offers Hurricane Impact Approved entry doors up to 4′ x 12′, as well as pivot doors up to 6′ x 11′.
Electronic Access Control for Keyless Convenience
Electronic access control brings the convenience of keyless entry to exterior wood doors, eliminating the need for traditional keys. A single command retracts every point of the multipoint lock, and the door relocks automatically when it closes. EWD offers two options: a battery-powered device that users can operate through a keypad or smartphone app, and a concealed electronic drive that connects with virtually any compatible home automation system.
Impact-Approved Exterior Wood Doors for Safety and Compliance
In hurricane-prone regions, building codes set strict performance requirements for exterior openings. EWD entry doors are HVHZ approved for outswing and inswing applications and have exceeded Florida’s most rigorous hurricane impact testing standards for air, water, and structural performance. Even in regions where building codes do not require impact approval, these doors offer additional safety, security, and protection against forced entry.
Exposure-Rated Materials for Long-Term Performance
Exposure-Rated Exterior Doors incorporate materials such as Accoya and Tricoya, which offer durability, dimensional stability, and resistance to moisture. These materials support long-term performance in demanding exposure conditions, making them a valuable solution for projects where architectural designs may not provide the optimal protection required for conventional exterior wood doors.
Choosing the Right Custom Exterior Wood Doors
The best combination depends on the opening, the architecture, and the exposure conditions. Because EWD manufactures every door to order, the team can tailor each option to the specific needs of the project.Contact Exclusive Wood Doors to discuss your project and get connected with an authorized dealer or distributor.
