Custom Barn Door Installation
Add Rustic Charm or Modern Style with Sliding Barn Doors - Expert Installation, Premium Hardware, Custom Designs
Why Choose Barn Doors for Your Space?
Barn doors have evolved from their agricultural origins into one of the most popular interior design elements in modern homes and commercial spaces. Whether you're looking for rustic charm or contemporary elegance, sliding barn doors offer a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Unlike traditional hinged doors, barn doors slide along a track mounted above the doorway, saving valuable floor space and creating a stunning visual focal point. They're ideal for homes, offices, restaurants, boutiques, and any space where you want to make a design statement while maximizing usability.
At Granite Carpentry, we've installed over 800 custom barn doors across Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, and throughout South Africa. Our expert craftsmen combine premium materials with professional installation to create barn doors that are as durable as they are beautiful.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does barn door installation cost?
Barn door installation costs range from R8,500 to R25,000+ depending on size, materials, and hardware quality. Single rustic barn doors start from R8,500, modern designs from R9,500, glass doors from R12,000, and double doors from R15,000. Custom designs with premium materials cost more. We provide free quotes after consultation.
Can barn doors provide privacy and sound insulation?
Barn doors provide good privacy but limited sound insulation compared to traditional hinged doors since they don't seal completely. For better sound control, we recommend solid wood doors with rubber bumpers and floor guides. They work well for bedrooms and bathrooms where complete soundproofing isn't critical.
How much space do I need for a barn door?
You need wall space equal to the door width plus 10-15cm for hardware on at least one side of the opening. The track extends beyond the door width. Ceiling height should accommodate the track mounted 15-20cm above the door opening. We assess space requirements during free consultation.
How long does installation take?
Standard barn door installation takes 4-6 hours for a single door after fabrication. Double doors may take 6-8 hours. Fabrication takes 2-4 weeks depending on design complexity. We complete installation in one visit with minimal disruption to your home or business.
What maintenance do barn doors require?
Barn doors require minimal maintenance. Clean the track periodically, lubricate rollers annually, and wipe down the door according to material type. Wood doors may need refinishing every 3-5 years. We provide maintenance instructions and offer service packages for optimal performance.
