Guide to Authentic Craftsman Door and Window
Design

• Rule of Three
• The starting point for getting it right with
  Craftsman design is acknowledging that having a
  good sense of symmetrical alignment is Important.
  Once you have this acumen, you can deploy it into
  using well aligned simple straight lines to make
  creative designs on windows. Every genuine
  craftsman window would have part of their whole
  part divided into three vertical symmetrical
  portions.
• Real Wood
• The very emblem of craftsman design is wood. The
  good thing is that with the diverse hardwoods
  available out there, you can't have them in short
  supply. However, there is also the place of
  knowing where to use what. This is an essential
  skill you must also master to produce crafts of
  the best quality. It is recommended that wood
  trims, frames, sashes, and grilles remain the
  best materials for windows, doors and main floor
  trims these materials are by-products of
  traditional hardwoods like Mahogany, walnut, and
  white oak.
• Divided and Stained Windows
• The most common window patterns for craftsman
  home designs are double or single hung windows.
  Windows are divided into two sections, the top
  section, and the lower section. Many windows
  feature divided vertical grilles in their top
  section and a glass pane in their lower section.

  attention to details front doors for craftsman
  styled houses a designed to rest and wrap around
  an attractive porch a typical craftsman front
  door has certain distinct features including
  panes of glasses which could be either clear or
  stained at the upper section of the door

  two-thirds, the panes of glasses are usually
  between three and six doors with three panes
  feature the symmetrical cased arrangement of a
  typical craftsman design as they are three
  vertical rectangles cased together while doors
  with six panes feature a two-dimensional
  symmetrical arrangement which forms a grid-like
  pattern other glass arrangement pattern at the
  upper section of the door do also exist but these
  are by far the commonest of them all one more
  feature craftsman front door come with are small
  ledges with molds situated below glass panes.
• Color
• Popular choices of the color scheme for most
  craftsman homes are neutral and earthly colors
  and usually, door colors rhymes with that of the
  carcass of the home. Invariably, this means
  craftsman homes determine door colors Earthly

Craftsman Front Door Styles

• Material
• The major material used in craftsman styled house
  construction is wood, though very recently
  materials like fiberglass and steel have become
  useful in making simple constructions. But to a
  large extent, wood remains the primary material
  for the craftsman. Several reasons including the
  fact that wood is the very emblem of craft and
  that the peculiar designs of craftsman homes
  featuring wood railing, shingles can only be
  crafted with wood have been adduced for this. To
  this end, craftsman front door is also made of
  wood.
• Hardware
• There is hardware that could be mounted on
  craftsmen front doors but the common one that
  seems so indispensable are handled with their
  deadbolts and keyed entry. They make a good fit
  especially when they come with oil- rubbed bronze
  finishes as they tend to rhyme with the overall
  earthly hue of a craftsman home.

  bulges out making it only possible to be pushed
  out from the exterior the flankers may vary in
  their positioning they may be double-hung or
  fixed depending on how they are installed.
• In comparison with Bay windows, Bow windows have
  about 3 more window panels all of the same size.
  Another so obvious difference of Bow windows from
  Bay windows is that panels have a curved outline
  allowing for an even broader viewing angle. Bow
  windows are not varied in their placement when
  installing them they are only placed in a fixed
  or casement position. The many panels of a Bow
  window mean that they would give you better
  ventilation.

Craftsman Doors

• Against this backdrop, works of craft continue to
  remain relevant. One of them is the craftsman
  cottage door. Historically, this type of doors
  dates back to the latter years of the 19th
  century. Just before the close of the Victorian
  era, they were first designed in America, about
  the period of the craftsman architectural
  upheaval. Small homes in California were recorded
  to be pioneers of the use of these doors before
  its gradual spread to other parts of the world.
  As typical of the craftsmans design pattern,
  cottage doors have straight lines and angles.
• Many simple features make cottage doors unique
  and perfect for the structure and design of
  houses at this time. Apart from the fact that
  they were handcrafted from mahogany wood or
  particle board, they just had simple artistic
  designs and layouts that made them very ordinary
  in look.
• However, under craftsman styled design are other
  door ranges all for exterior use while some may
  look very traditional others are quite compliant
  with modern design patterns. In the class of the
  latter are French doors or arch doors to
  accentuate their unique look, accessories like
  door shelf, sidelights, and decorative crowns
  have been fabricated as go-along .

  home and features three separate windows or
  window panels. A window extends at an angle on
  each side of the bay window and the middle window
  extends flat across between the two.

  three, four or five different window panels or
  sections. Whereas the bay window takes on a very
  angular appearance and it projects from the home
  several feet, a bow window is going to look more

Solutions For Any Homeowners

• Sliding doors offer so many advantages. Here are
  a few of them
• It is a delight to see sliding doors swing open
  and close the fact that the extent of opening of
  the door can be controlled makes also makes
  ventilation and radiation control really easy.

  doors, you can have a single sliding door so that
  there is ample for hitch-free passage when the
  door is stacked to one side.

  easy to swing close and open.

  got so many others with options to have them open
  from the interior or exterior there is also the

Mirrored Sliding Doors Create Beautiful Light
Effects Inexpensively

• Closet doors have come a long way and have
  evolved from mere large mirrors maneuvered
  somehow to fit into doors to doors composed of
  seamlessly assembled components. Old versions of
  closet doors in addition to looking very rickety
  in construction concealed mirrors when closed.
  Today's closet doors have been innovatively
  designed to clearly display mirrors even when
  they are closed. In addition, they come in chrome
  grooves and edges that give them a nice
  three-dimensional outline when viewed from the
  outside.
• For those embarking on a home improvement
  project, here is some useful piece of advice. It
  is okay to improve the quality of existing closet
  doors by adding mirrors to them but this can also
  be a very risky venture as attached mirrors may
  not be so compatible with closet doors, the
  chances of the mirror falling off is high it is
  better and safer to rather completely change
  closet door systems if they are no longer fitting
  for use. There is more guarantee that components
  of a mirrored sliding door kit would be
  compatible and fit perfectly together. It is
  always a nice idea in the long run to bear the
  pains and cost of rightly installing closet doors
  as this is cheaper than having to cope with
  makeshift closet door systems.
• However, sliding door kits come in two variants,
  there is thebe bi-fold closet doors and the
  by-pass sliding doors. Whichever one you chose to
  go with comes with metal frames there is also
  the molding wooden frame option if you want
  something more classic and stylish that befits
  all rooms in your home.
