Red Oak Arts & Crafts Mission 3 Panel Flat Panel Bifold Door

This arts and crafts style three panel door was probably created during the arts and crafts period in the early 20th century. It has been done the raised panel and flat panel designs from this period. Both of these representations can be found in homes of this era. This door looks equally at home today in a new home in both the raised panel design or flat panel arts and crafts design. Many of the doors in the Arts and Crafts period were stained wood, and not painted, as were many of the doors in the Victorian era. Whichever way these doors are done, they are very striking, and will add a great deal to the detail of your home.

Our Arts and Crafts or Mission Style 3 Panel Flat Panel Bifold Door is made up of three parts:

• Panels- Panels float within the frame of the door, and are not glued to allow for expansion and contraction of the door panels. Panel doors styles can have either horizontal or vertical panels.* All horizontal panels have horizontal wood grain.
• Stiles- The two long vertical pieces on each side of the door. One side is attached to the door jamb with hinges. The other side is bored for the door knob or lever, so that it can be latch to the jamb when shut.
• Rails- the horizontal and/or vertical pieces in the door that surround the panels and attach to the stiles.
