Dutch Doors
Also known as: Split Doors, Half Doors, Barn Style Doors, and Stable Doors
Dutch Doors by Solar Innovations, Inc.
 |
 |
With roots dating back to the 1600’s in the Netherlands, these doors have been designed for function; consisting of two panels, which open independently of each other. These doors are particularly well designed for locations which require the ability to block entering and existing of a room. Childcare centers, barn locations, or animal hospitals are excellent locations for such a door. The door’s original purpose was to keep farm animals from wandering into farm homes, while maintaining air flow. By opening the top half of the door and leaving the bottom closed, home owners could go about their house work without intrusion. Dutch doors are now used in residential homes and commercial businesses for both interior and exterior applications. Dutch doors are sometimes referred to as: Split doors, half doors, barn style doors, and stable doors. Solar Innovations, Inc.’s Dutch Doors consist of two panels with aluminum framework and insulated glass. This frame will not rust, warp, rot, or require constant finish maintenance, like a wooden door. Insulated tempered glass used in the door enhances energy efficiency. |
Low-e, textured, and decorative glass are also available options, which can enhance the appearance of the door. Solar Innovations, Inc. offers seven standard frame finishes; custom colors are also available, at an additional cost.

Each panel can operate separately or in unison. Dutch doors allow home owners to enjoy ventilation without the entire door being left open. Pets and children can be contained, while enjoying the benefit of sunlight and fresh air throughout the home. Dutch doors are often incorporated into child care facilities and residential kitchens. Single terrace doors and double Dutch doors are custom designed to fit any opening, application and design requirement.
There are numerous panel style options available. The three available styles are:
- All Glass
- Glass and Base Panel
- Base Panel
An all glass Dutch door consists of a glass infill in both panels. This configuration allows for maximum light exposure. A glass and base panel configuration includes a glass upper panel and a decorative raised base panel, allowing daylight through the door’s top portion with an impact resistant base panel. Solar Innovations, Inc. also offers historically accurate Dutch Doors, with solid in fills for both the top and bottom panels.
