In Depth Info

Design Details

Louver door slats in wide plantation style are nominally 2.25” wide. Standard door stiles are 5.25″ wide. Top rails are 5.25″ high and bottom rails are 7″ high. Custom stile and rail dimensions, as well as an additional mid rail, can also be specified by Contacting Us.

Louver partitions can be configured as Headrail Braced, Floor to Ceiling, Floor Mount or Ceiling Hung partitions. Sizes available in Standard, All Gender and Full Height. Additionally, Louver partitions can be accented with Molding, Engraving or Inlay.

Materials

Louver components are available in Wood Veneer, Compact Laminate and Laminate. Compact Laminate Louver doors are needed for high-humidity environments.

Wood species options include flat cut cherry, maple, walnut and almost any commercially available Wood Veneers.

Finishes

Louver partitions can be clear coated, stained and top coated, or painted. Clear coating can allow the natural beauty of a wood or wood veneer to stand out, but it can also highlight imperfections that may be present in natural woods. Stains and paint colors can be selected from the Paint Colors Chart or custom finishes can be specified by Contacting Us.

Construction

Ironwood Louver doors are built using stile and rail construction. The Louvers insert into the stiles in a fixed and slightly open position with sufficient overlap to guarantee privacy.
