Market Conditions and Trends

10. Rediscover Doors
Commoditization of doors
• Design community push-back;
dissatisfaction with the status
quo of
“unremarkable doors
• Residences are getting
smaller. Smaller spaces =
fewer doors, but with the same
budget there may be price
tolerance for the right door
Market Conditions and Trends 10

11. Rediscover Doors
So . . . why “Rediscover Doors?”
• For customers looking to trim costs, interior doors offer relatively little
opportunity, especially when you consider the impact distinctive
doors can have on design
“Interior openings =
1-3% of overall
building cost
(NAHB)
“Rediscover Doors” Defined 11

12. Rediscover Doors

and cabinetry all enjoy a
greater “design weight”
relative to doors . . . the
right doors can
duplicate this success
“Rediscover Doors” Defined 12

13. Rediscover Doors
• The spread of retailers like
Design Within Reach and the
rapid growth of Dwell, Azure,
Metropolis and other design
magazines along with the
influence of designer TV are all
indicators of the rising broad
appeal of design
“Rediscover Doors” Defined 13

14. Rediscover Doors

see increasing demand for
design forward doors
• Green building appears to be a
parallel trend – many of those
who seek custom door design
also seek green attributes

products may take more time to
source
• Understand cost: although green
materials are improving, increased
costs are still common
Using GreenDorTM 50

51. Rediscover Doors
• Work towards flexibility: accepting
similar species and/or stain-to-match
– be creative to accomplish LEED or
Built Green standards
• Understand the end user: How green
is green? Is it a strict LEED project or
is it a less rigidly defined desire to “do
the right thing”
• Involve LDI: Feel welcome to bring us
directly into the conversation – there
is no charge for this and we can help
