Arched Craftsman Entrance Door: Solid Wood, Water Glass Sidelight

There are a lot of doors out there that may have the look of a craftsman door, but are mass produced using low quality materials. At ArtFactory.com our craftsman doors are built using the same methods and materials that would have been used by Greene and Greene, Frank Lloyd Wright, or any of the other great craftsmen of the 20th century.

At ArtFactory.com we believe in building furniture and doors that are not something that you just use for a few years and then throw away. Building items that are disposable is a practice that is unique to the past fifty years. In the old world, when a piece of furniture was built, it was built from solid, natural materials by master craftsmen. Most importantly, it was built to last forever. Something like a solid wood entrance door would be passed down through a family for generations along with the home that was also built to last forever. With this arched craftsman entrance door, built from solid, full length timber, we have carried that tradition of built to last craftsmanship. A true modern masterpiece inspired by historic designs, and built with period correct methods and materials.

This type of product cannot be built overnight, or with low quality materials. That is why we use the highest quality, full length, solid wood. Then we build it by hand, using the age old, tried and tested method of mortise and tenon joinery. This type materials and construction makes for a product that will stand the test of time. We have also incorporated elements of the Arts and Crafts movement into this custom entrance with the solid wood, vertical planked panel. The design is completed with matching water glass sidelights and top lite window in the door. Our is custom designs are engineered to let just the right amount of light into your home. Our windows are made with thick, tempered, dual pane glass for maximum security and energy efficiency. All of our custom door designs are available with or without optional sidelights and transoms.

Building A Family Legacy Through Heirloom Doors

Decorative elements such as the water glass top lite window and sidelights on this hand made craftsman entrance will set your entrance apart from mass productions doors, and impress your friends, family, and clients as they step into your home.

Building a family legacy has been going on since the beginning of time. Building heirloom furniture and doors intended to last forever is one of the primary ways we all have in achieving some small part of immortality. These cherished family items will touch our loved ones for many years to come through physical interactions as well as family photos. Many societies, including the Egyptians and Mayans, as well as European royalty and aristocracy have created and passed down heirlooms for thousands of years. More recently, the great artists and architects of the American Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th century created such heirlooms.

In fact, if it were not for these artifacts, it would be impossible to know these people ever existed, how they were important to history. This is also the case in the 21st century within your own family. No matter if it’s a simple, hope chest with your personal message or name as a gift to a loved one, or an extravagant, fine art quality, master handcrafted, solid cedar, custom arched craftsman entrance door, these items will be important to the story of your family history long after we are gone.
