Weather-Resistant Features for Oceanfront Properties

Being near the coast comes with its challenges, especially when it comes to exterior doors. Custom doors designed for coastal homes, like Berkeley Mills’ Big Sur Pivot Door, incorporate saltwater-resistant materials such as treated hardwoods and reinforced seals to withstand salty air, gale-force winds, and moisture. These features ensure long-lasting durability without diminishing style.

Choosing Marine-Grade Finishes

Marine-grade finishes are crucial for protecting your custom doors from corrosion and fading caused by the harsh coastal environment. Durable treatments, including UV-resistant coatings and water-repellent treatments, extend the longevity of your doors while maintaining their natural charm. Such finishes are excellent for preserving vibrant colors and natural wood textures.

Combining Natural Materials with Scenic Views

Coastal homes thrive on blending seamlessly into their surroundings. Custom doors featuring natural materials like wood and glass enhance the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Wide glass panels with minimal frames, for instance, offer homeowners to enjoy panoramic ocean views while creating a fluid connection between the home and its environment.
