Doors |
We are a premier
designer and builder of custom doors. We
are not a distributor or reseller for any other
manufacturer. We do not distribute our doors through
any reseller. Each door and door package is custom
built in Nederland, CO USA! Nothing
is mass produced. Every one of our doors meets or
exceeds Architectural Woodworking Institute (AWI)
standards. Our exterior doors systems
and interior
door packages are comprised from standard classic
styles, custom requirements to our own copyright ©
designs that are both creatively unique and exciting.
Clean lines and complex joinery combined with outstanding
artistic craftsmanship provide a beautiful, distinctive
statement for home, business or corporation.
Doors are available in any width, height, thickness
and wood species including reclaimed woods.
Slab doors, completely assembled pre-hung units or doors with
knockdown jambs for cost effective shipping are offered.
All designs can be crafted for interior or exterior
use. Full scale ACAD drawings and a list of options are
provided for all work. We are specialists in interlocking,
tapered and arched designs. Our distressed doors recreate
an age old appearance resembling decades of use.
Our Interlocking
Design
Series ® and Tapered Design Series ® are registered
trademark names and offer copyright © designs owned and
protected exclusively by Whispering Wind Designs. We have
over 2600 designs. We work with architects, designers,
contractors and homeowners to create designs unlike anything
available.
With the ability of large format lasering we offer
beautiful custom and personalized glass etchings, wood
engravings and inlays complementing any of our doors, sidelights
or transoms.
Wood for each project is carefully selected matching grains and
tones. Each part is inspected through every phase of the
building process. Stile, rail and mullion construction
utilize either composite, timber strand or solid wood stave
cores with solid 3/4 inch edging along with 1/4 inch or 5/8 inch
thick wood faces, laminated or solid woods. Panels for
exterior doors and some interior doors are built using two
separate panels allowing outside and inside panels to move
independently. Traditional mortise and tenon or birch
dowels are used for assembly. These techniques represent
some of the absolute best in past and modern craftsmanship to
produce an extremely stable door. Door jambs
are built to the correct wall thickness and not just the
standard 4 9/16" or 6 9/16" eliminating the need for jamb
extensions. Ball bearing hinges in
select finishes are offered. Standard
thickness for both interior and exterior doors is 1 3/4
inch.
