Description

Knotty Alder

We proudly offer doors crafted from Knotty Alder, a wood prized for its rustic charm, natural durability, and sustainability. Knotty Alder is becoming increasingly popular among homeowners and designers for its unique appearance and reliable performance, making it a standout choice for interior and exterior doors.

Sustainability

Knotty Alder is a highly sustainable wood species. It grows abundantly in North America, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, and is harvested from responsibly managed forests. Its rapid growth rate and availability ensure that using Knotty Alder contributes to eco-friendly practices, promoting forest regeneration and minimizing the environmental footprint.

Durability

Knotty Alder is known for its good durability, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications. It performs well in varying climates and holds up under everyday wear and tear, making it a practical choice for doors in high-traffic areas. While it is a softer hardwood, Knotty Alder is still strong enough to resist impacts and maintain structural integrity, especially when properly sealed or stained.

Density and Hardness

Knotty Alder is moderately dense. This makes it softer than many other hardwoods, which means it’s easy to work with and mill into detailed designs or custom shapes. Its medium density makes Knotty Alder lightweight compared to denser hardwoods, making installation and customization more straightforward while still maintaining a solid, reliable feel.

Aesthetic Appeal

The most notable feature of Knotty Alder is its distinctive appearance. It features a beautiful, natural grain with visible knots, giving it a rustic and warm appeal that adds character to any space. The wood’s rich, earthy tones range from light honey to reddish-brown, and its open grain pattern allows it to take stain finishes exceptionally well, enhancing its natural beauty. The knots and imperfections of Knotty Alder are not flaws but are instead embraced for the rustic charm they bring to each door, making every piece unique.

In conclusion, Knotty Alder is an ideal choice for those seeking a sustainable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing wood for their doors. At Grand Entry Doors, we’re committed to providing high-quality Knotty Alder doors that enhance the beauty and functionality of your home, offering timeless appeal with natural charm.

What does in-stock mean?

When a door is "in-stock" and/or indicated as "Quick Ship" it means all components are in-stock and available, but we don't stock fully assembled doors due to the wide variety of configuration options. Each door is meticulously fabricated and tailored to the specific configuration you've ordered, then inspected and securely crated for shipping. In-stock doors typically ship within 4-5 weeks from our North Carolina facility, with varying transit times based on your location. For the latest lead time info, check the product page as lead times may vary depending on the product. We request that you refrain from contacting us for lead time inquiries, as this information is accurate and readily available on our website and is the same information that would be provided by phone or email. We don't offer expedite options to ensure fairness for all customers. Our commitment is to ship to our customers within our industry-leading lead times.

Please check your selections carefully.
Each door is prepped to your specifications. Buyer assumes all risks of incorrect measurements. Your order authorizes Grand Entry Doors to furnish the products described and rendered. Grand Entry Doors is only responsible for furnishing and shipping the item as specified on your order.  Please review our return policy prior to ordering. If you have any questions please contact us prior to placing your order.

Requirements for adequate overhang protection:
Installer must ensure proper protection requirements are provided where the door will be installed. All doors must be installed providing sufficient protection from exposure to weather including excessive moisture/rain as well as excessive heat due to sun exposure. This protection required includes adequate overhang distance that is at a minimum projection from the home at one half the distance from the floor of the overhang to the ceiling of the overhang. Additionally, the overhang should extend a minimum of 3 ft in width from each side of the door unit. Failure to provide adequate overhang protection will void the warranty.
All wood doors are constructed using floating panels. This construction method allows for expansion and contraction. Exposure to severe moisture such as rain in an unprotected environment may result in water penetration through the panels and is not considered a defect. In the event of water penetrating through the edges of the panels in this environment, it will be the consumers responsibility to caulk and or provide a remedy for the water penetration.

Staining or painting the door black or any other dark opaque colors will void the warranty.
These colors cause harm to the wood components by absorbing excess heat/UV rays.
