The
This Old House Weston project was designed to reflect the
rustic look of an old New England barn. About 75 percent of
the home was built in Bensonwood’s controlled workshop
environment. These components were then assembled on site
in Weston and, once the home was erected, Summit Door installed
the garage doors.
The
two handcrafted garage doors were designed to complement the
barn-style architecture. The western red cedar doors were
customized with trim and details on both the exterior and
the interior of the garage door, making it a one-of-a-kind
design. Powder coated track and hardware completed the doors
for a more modern appeal with nylon rollers for a smoother
and quieter ride.
Summit
Door, Inc., is pleased to have been chosen as the garage door
supplier for this exciting project. The This Old House Weston
project is currently airing on PBS. Please check
