Rich Color & Durability of Cherry Interior Doors
Long considered the gold standard of wood species for high-end craftsmanship, cherry interior doors offer homeowners and designers a luxurious range of warm colors and impressive durability. With several different species to choose from, cherry interior doors can elevate an existing space or provide a touch of elegance to new builds. With its use dating back to Ancient Greek and Roman cultures, cherry wood has been fabricated into furniture, ships, cabinets, and even pianos or guitars. With a unique grain pattern, warm color palette, and impressive durability, cherry wood is an upscale species to choose for interior doors, and deservedly so. This article will look closer at the different species of cherry interior doors offered by Allegheny Wood Works, the unique characteristics these doors possess, the available styles, and how to purchase cherry interior doors for your new home, business, or renovation project.
Different Species of Cherry Interior Doors
A unique facet of cherry interior doors is that there are several distinct variants of wood used to manufacture these products. Allegheny Wood Works has worked diligently to secure access to an inventory of these unique species for customers from our premium suppliers. Each different species has slightly different characteristics described below.
- Cherry: This is the most prized or sought-after hardwood for American craftsmen and features a smooth grain and stunning reddish hue that darkens over time. These natural colors and tones can range from light pink to rich red and are harvested from the American Black Cherry Tree.
- Rustic Cherry: Rustic cherry interior doors feature a less refined appearance than other variants and often display more imperfections and irregularities than other forms of cherry. This species is ideal for restoring vintage homes, matching design elements, or rural cabins and country homes.
- Sappy Cherry: Referencing the outer layer of the trunk, interior doors made from sappy cherry may have a lighter color than those made from heartwood. The predominantly red hues will sometimes showcase lighter streaks, burls, flecks, and other unique characteristics. Sappy cherry interior doors will darken over time after exposure to light and heat. *Sappy cherry is a custom selection and is sometimes subject to limited availability and/or longer lead times
- Brazilian Cherry: Also known as Jatoba, this unique species used in cherry interior doors is one of the hardest woods in the world and is extremely dense. These characteristics make Brazilian cherry interior doors incredibly durable with a heavy swing. This material could be used for special-use rooms like wine cellars, lounges, libraries, offices, or any other room that requires some added extravagance.
Styles of Cherry Interior Doors
Cherry interior doors can be fabricated to match nearly any existing design scheme. When you combine the beautiful characteristics of this wood species with the immaculate old-world style craftsmanship and modern woodworking equipment at Allegheny Wood Works, the result is an expansive catalog of door styles and designs. You can learn more about four of our most popular categories of cherry interior doors manufactured at our facility below.
- Raised/Flat Panel: These broad categories encapsulate a wide assortment of unique configurations for cherry doors. Both raised and flat panel designs involve a central solid wood piece that slides in a grooved frame to provide the necessary space for possible expansion after exposure to heat and changing humidities. This design, combined with the natural durability of cherry, ensures your doors will maintain their integrity even after decades of continual use.
- Solid Wood Door with Glass: A popular way to elevate the appearance of cherry interior doors is to inlay the final design with glass. Although more popular for exterior-facing doors, a glass insert can be a nice addition to interior doors between non-private rooms like kitchens, porches, and pantries.
- Rustic Wood Doors: Designed for restoration projects, rustic homes, cabins, and country cottages, rustic wood doors made from cherry wood are perfect for those looking to add a bit of old-world elegance to their home. These designs highlight the natural imperfections of cherry wood and ensure that no two doors are identical.
- Engraved & Carved: Allegheny Wood Works can fabricate engraved and carved cherry interior doors with our in-house CNC routing technology. Our experienced craftsmen can follow standard designs and custom layouts that can replicate landscapes, logos, names, and even drawings or artwork.
