Masonite Expands Mahogany Door Offering to Meet Growing Demand

New product offerings better compliment popular hardwood flooring and cabinetry choices.

Tampa, FL. (PRWEB) February 15, 2008 -- New product offerings at Masonite compliment popular hardwood flooring and cabinetry choices for customers. Masonite, a leader in design and innovation for over 80 years, is proud to offer four new Mahogany designs that will leave a lasting impression on both residents and their guests, while not requiring all of the maintenance typically associated with a wood door.

As American's migrate from conventional cathedral grained wood species such as Red Oak to finer grained species such as Cherry, Maple and Mahogany for upscale kitchen cabinetry and hardwood flooring, so too has their demand for Mahogany doors.

"Although oak still makes up the majority of our sales, we have seen dramatic increases in our Mahogany doors which compliment premium flooring and cabinetry, whereas oak will contrast many of these warm, fine grains", says Doug Thompson, Masonite's Senior Director of Product Management, Exterior Doors. "The natural beauty of these hardwoods can transform an average living space, into a stunning home. Nothing is more important when creating a stunning home than the first impression that occurs at the front door."

The universally accepted six panel design is available in the popular Belleville® line, and is the perfect fit for almost any home. Combined with Masonite's broad selection of Specialty™ Glass designs, the options to enhance the beauty to a home are nearly endless.

The Barrington® Craftsman has a traditional styling that fits beautifully on many homes, particularly Craftsman influenced homes commonly found in the Midwest and Northwest portions of the country. An optional dentil shelf, SDL (simulated divided lites) bars, and a choice of glass designs provides the ability to customize to the correct architecture and style of the home.

The Barrington Sierra™ line has been extended to include a one panel plank design with a camber top. This popular line compliments Southwestern and Mediterranean style architecture.

With clean and simple lines, combined with a master craftsman's attention to detail, the Barrington Flagstaff™ extends beyond traditional southwestern design into a more contemporary architecture, such as open floor plans with ample natural lighting. Most importantly this marks the dawn of Interior / Exterior door collections for Masonite. This design is available in the Mahogany textured Barrington line with a complimenting interior door to keep design harmony within the home.
