What Is the Barn X Style?
Barn X is a stile and rail inspired door design built from a captured panel with applied moldings. The moldings are typically applied to the front face only, but can be applied to both sides upon request. This style is defined by its bold geometric lines and rustic architectural character. Barn X doors are compatible with wood veneer, high-pressure laminate, or compact laminate, giving designers flexibility in both visual tone and material performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a Barn X door different from other partition doors?
Barn X doors feature decorative moldings arranged in traditional barn patterns like X, Z, and Double Z. These moldings are applied over a stile-and-rail frame with captured panel inserts, blending rustic character with commercial-grade construction.
Are the moldings functional or purely decorative?
The moldings are primarily decorative. They are securely applied to the face of the door and do not contribute to structural support, but they do help visually reinforce the barn aesthetic.
Can the Barn X style be used with any material?
Frames and moldings can be made from compact laminate, HPL, or wood veneer. Inserts can be the same or a contrasting material. Some combinations may have thickness or weight limits.
Can moldings be applied to both sides of the door?
Yes, but our standard configuration includes moldings on the front side only. Dual-sided molding is available upon request and may increase overall door thickness and weight.
What design variations are available?
There are six layout options: Z, X, Double Z, Double Z Arrow, Single X, and Double X. Each offers a unique look while maintaining the same base construction.
Are Barn X doors compatible with Zero Sightline privacy features?
Yes. Barn X style doors can be outfitted with full-height stops, overlapping edges, and privacy hardware to eliminate sightlines between doors and pilasters.
