Storm & Screen Doors

A modest little estate in the wine-growing Yamhill county area.

Another of the many popular Spanish Villa flavored expressions of architecture.

And another wood-door subjected to the moist weather-patterns of the Willamette Valley. This time, it’s a wood-screen door.

If you look close at the top left corner of the door in this photo, you should be able to make out how the door has warped towards the exterior.

As you can see, there are actually two of these doors on opposite ends of this open-air sitting room enveloped with screen material.

Once again, we proposed a material that is more impervious to the elements be used in the manufacture of these doors. Our client’s two criteria were that the lock-rail aligns with the sight-lines in the adjoining screen structure…

…and that the two new doors matched the color of the original doors.
Truax Builders Supply (www.truaxnw.com) built the aluminum screen doors to our specifications.

And Portland Powder Coating Inc. (www.portlandpowder.com) matched the sample of wood we brought them from one of the original wood doors.

To facilitate the powder coating process, which involves considerable heat, both doors had to be pretty much completely disassembled. All the neoprene and non-metallic products had to be removed to prevent damage.

Once again we are given opportunity to demonstrate that if something custom can be done, as it relates to doors or windows, we can make it happen.
