Wood Species & Finishes
Materials
33 itemsRHD Recommended
Species that Ranch House Doors specifies with confidence across the widest range of climates, applications, and architectural styles. These materials represent the best combination of proven field performance, finish compatibility, and long-term durability in our experience.
Western Red Cedar
Our most-used species. Naturally rot and insect resistant with warm reddish-brown tones, it takes stain evenly and performs in any climate.
Accoya
Acetylated Radiata Pine, modified through the full board thickness for consistent performance, with improved dimensional stability and high resistance to rot and insects. A premium pick for harsh, coastal, and west-facing exposures.
Vertical Grain Douglas Fir
Tight, parallel grain with exceptional strength and stability. Warm amber tones that suit craftsman, farmhouse, and mountain modern looks.
Tricoya
Acetylated MDF for exterior paint grade work. Exceptional stability and paint adhesion, ideal for dark colors and coastal installations.
Thermalized Products
Real wood baked at high heat in a sealed oven - it uses only heat and steam in the modification process, with no chemical preservatives added. The heat improves the wood's dimensional stability and its resistance to moisture, decay, and insects compared to untreated wood, and reduces routine maintenance. The color is built in during baking, so you choose your tone up front and it largely stays that way.
Pros
- Excellent dimensional stability - far less swelling, shrinking, and warping than untreated wood
- Improved resistance to moisture, decay, and insects
- Modified with heat and steam only - no chemical preservatives added
- Rich, even color straight through the board, so cut edges still match
Considerations
- Color is set by the heat process in a limited range of warm browns - stain and paint will not change it
- Needs a periodic clear oil finish to hold its tone; left unfinished it weathers to silver-gray
- Slightly more brittle than untreated wood, so panels call for careful handling
- Its warm, modern aesthetic is a defined look that fits some door styles better than others
Thermo Hemlock
Western Hemlock modified for stability and moisture resistance. Warm honey-amber tone with tight grain; a clear oil keeps the color.
Thermo Ash
White Ash modified with only heat and steam. Deep chocolate-brown with bold grain, very stable, and finished with a clear oil.
Light Ash
White Ash baked at medium heat. Warm honey-brown with the same expressive grain as Dark Ash, just lighter and more neutral.
Dark Ash
White Ash baked at the highest heat. Deep chocolate-brown all the way through, with bold grain and the darkest tone in the lineup.
Ayous
Lightweight African hardwood in a warm cedar-brown tone. Smooth and nearly knot-free, with clean, uniform grain.
Abodo
Sustainably grown New Zealand pine with vertical grain and an even medium-brown tone. Arrives pre-finished in oil, ready to install.
Ambara
Thermally modified hardwood with deep chocolate-brown color and fine, even grain. The heat-and-steam modification improves dimensional stability and moisture resistance compared to untreated wood. Well-suited to swing-out and slider doors.
Traditional Species
Natural wood species in their standard kiln-dried form. These materials offer the widest range of stain and finish options and the most familiar working properties. Proper sealing and periodic maintenance are required for exterior applications.
White Birch
Pale, fine-grained hardwood with cream-to-white coloring. Takes light stain and paint evenly, ideal for contemporary and Cape Cod looks.
White Oak (Rift Sawn)
Rift sawn for a tight, linear grain with minimal fleck. Warm honey tones and a refined, furniture-grade surface suited to modern design.
Alaskan Yellow Cedar
Premium softwood with durability rivaling tropical hardwoods. Fine, straight grain in a pale yellow tone, and very stable in wet climates.
Select Tight Knot Cedar
Western Red Cedar with tight, small knots for rustic character. Same natural rot resistance as clear cedar at a friendlier price.
Hemlock
Pale, fine-grained softwood with an even texture. A cost-effective choice for paint grade and light stain finishes.
Marine Meranti
Stain grade marine plywood made from Meranti veneers with a waterproof bond. Stable and moisture resistant, used most on Semi-Custom and Rail & Stile doors.
Meranti
Southeast Asian hardwood with warm reddish-brown tones and pronounced grain. Good workability and finish adhesion at an accessible price.
Nature Aged Fir
Douglas Fir aged to a silver-gray weathered patina. An authentic reclaimed look without salvaged-wood inconsistency, and a Mountain Modern signature.
Kentucky Bourbon
Warm amber-brown stained finish with deep grain, reminiscent of an aged whiskey barrel. Popular for farmhouse and transitional palettes.
African Mahogany
Premium tropical hardwood with rich reddish-brown color and interlocked grain. Stable, finishes beautifully, and a staple of Mediterranean and Spanish styles.
Ipe
Brazilian hardwood, one of the densest available. Highly resistant to decay, insects, and abrasion, with deep brown tones.
Big Sky Gray
Chemically treated wood in a silver-gray, aged barn-wood tone. A Mountain Modern signature that pairs naturally with stone and steel.
Accoya Grey
Acetylated wood with a natural grey weathered finish. Same dimensional stability and rot resistance as standard Accoya with a distinctive silver-grey aesthetic. Ideal for modern and coastal applications.
Black Walnut
Deep chocolate-brown heartwood with dramatic grain. The boldest species we offer, best when the door is meant to be the focal point.
Paint Grade Woods
Engineered and composite materials optimized for painted finishes with superior dimensional stability.
Extira / MDO Plywood
Engineered composites with smooth, paint-ready faces. Consistent surface quality and excellent paint adhesion for paint grade doors.
Tricoya
Acetylated MDF for exterior paint grade work. Exceptional stability and paint adhesion, ideal for dark colors and coastal installations.
Wood Textures
Surface treatments that enhance grain character and add depth to the finished door.
Smooth
Factory-sanded to a fine, even surface. Lets the natural grain read clearly, and the standard finish for contemporary and formal looks.
Wire Brush Light
Light brushing that opens the grain for subtle linear texture. Adds depth to stain without much change to the door profile.
Wire Brush Medium
Medium brushing for pronounced grain relief and visible texture. Our most popular texture for farmhouse and mountain modern doors.
Wire Brush Heavy
Aggressive brushing for deep grain relief and rich stain variation. Maximum texture and character for rustic styles.
Resawn
Bandsaw-cut for a striated texture with subtle saw marks. Rustic character with more regularity than hand hewn.
Hand Hewn Distressed
Hand-tooled distressing that mimics hand-hewn timber. Irregular facets and tool marks make every door unique, a lodge and cabin signature.
