Weather-Resistant Features for Oceanfront Properties

Being near the coast comes with its own set of demands, especially when it comes to custom entryways. Custom doors designed for coastal homes, like Berkeley Mills’ Big Sur Pivot Door, feature saltwater-resistant materials such as treated hardwoods and reinforced seals to endure salty air, gale-force winds, and moisture. These elements ensure long-lasting durability without compromising elegance.

Using Marine-Grade Coatings

Marine-grade finishes are crucial for safeguarding your custom doors from corrosion and fading caused by the harsh coastal environment. High-quality finishes, including UV-resistant coatings and water-repellent treatments, increase the lifespan of your doors while protecting their aesthetic appeal. Such finishes are excellent for preserving 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 amplify 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 seamless transition between the home and its environment.
