Frequently Asked Questions
What is a horizontal boarded barn door?
A horizontal boarded barn door is an interior sliding door with a distinctive horizontal panel design — the door face is made up of horizontal grooved boards, giving it a modern, industrial aesthetic. It slides along a wall-mounted track rather than swinging open on hinges, making it a space-saving choice for rooms where a traditional swing door would be impractical.
What is the door supplied in — can I paint it?
Yes. The door is supplied with a high-quality factory-applied primer white finish, which provides an ideal base for painting. You can apply any interior topcoat paint to achieve your preferred colour. The primer ensures good paint adhesion and a smooth finish.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes the door panel, rails, track, a fitted U-Channel floor guide, and installation instructions. A handle is not included and must be selected separately.
How much wall space do I need beside the opening?
Because the barn door slides along the wall, you need a clear, unobstructed wall section beside your opening that is at least as wide as the door — in this case, a minimum of 920mm. This space must be free of light switches, plug points, architraves, or any other obstructions that would prevent the door from sliding fully open.
Will my wall support the barn door track?
The track must be fixed into solid wall structure — either into wall studs (timber frame construction) or into a concrete or brick lintel (masonry construction). Fixing into plasterboard or drywall alone is not sufficient. We recommend engaging a qualified carpenter or installer to assess your wall and install the hardware correctly.
Is this door suitable for exterior use?
No — this door is designed for interior use only. MDF is not suitable for exterior applications or areas exposed to moisture or weather.
