Weather-Resistant Features for Oceanfront Properties

Being near the coast comes with its unique obstacles, especially when it comes to custom entryways. 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 resist salty air, strong winds, and moisture. These features ensure lasting strength without sacrificing visual appeal.

Using Marine-Grade Finishes

Marine-grade finishes are crucial for shielding your custom doors from corrosion and fading caused by the harsh coastal environment. Durable treatments, including UV-resistant coatings and water-repellent treatments, prolong the lifespan of your doors while preserving their aesthetic appeal. Such finishes are perfect for keeping vibrant colors and natural wood textures.

Combining Natural Materials with Scenic Views

Coastal homes flourish with a connection to 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, allow homeowners to enjoy panoramic ocean views while creating a fluid connection between the home and its environment.
