Flush & Plank Doors
A flush door — also called a plank door — is a contemporary, flat-surface door built from solid wood pieces glued up in a horizontal or vertical orientation. The result is a clean, minimalist look with no raised panels or sticking profiles. Flush doors are a popular choice for modern entry doors, especially in large openings where a sleek, uninterrupted face is desired. The plank construction method also allows for visually striking grain patterns across the full door surface.
How Flush Doors Are Built
Thin strips of solid wood are glued horizontally or vertically to both sides of a solid wood core. This layered construction adds stability to large doors and accounts for the natural movement of wood across grain patterns. By orienting the strips strategically, we can control how the door expands and contracts with humidity changes — critical for a wide entry door that must remain flat and true through the seasons.
Wood Species
We build flush doors from solid lumber in your specified species — Douglas fir, clear pine, mahogany, white oak, red oak, and others. The species choice affects both appearance and performance: mahogany offers moisture resistance and rich color, oak provides durability and prominent grain, and fir delivers traditional warmth at a lower cost. We can also combine species — one wood for the core and another for the visible face.
Sizes & Applications
Flush doors excel as oversized entry doors where panel construction would be impractical. We can build to any width and height within your rough opening. Common applications include front entry doors, pantry doors, interior passage doors, and room dividers.
Glass & Hardware
Flush doors can be built with no glass (solid), with a single vision lite, or with a full horizontal or vertical glass section. Hardware options include modern cylindrical locks, mortise locks, or multipoint locking systems for large entry doors.
