Overview of What We’ll Need To Know to Create Your WoodMax Door
Of course the steps in designing your door always start with your ideas. As with any construction project, there are many variables to consider aside from top-of-mind things like color finishes, wood species, and and aesthetic design (the fun stuff). WoodMax will work with you, your contractor, a WoodMax dealer, designer or architect to then fill-in the many specific and important site installation requirements (sizes, materials, etc.).
In the meantime, this page will show you the general design considerations that must be addressed. If you’d like more detail, you can download the door request form we use to help guide production.

The good news is that you are not limited in getting exactly what you want. WoodMax can create doors in almost unlimited selections – and your ideas are always welcome.
