Is the barn door. Solid mdf or solid wood door? Does it matter what one uses?

    Great question about MDF vs solid wood. With 20 years experience manufacturing stile and rail solid MDF doors, here are a couple reasons why MDF has become so popular.
    Benefits of MDF
    1. less prone to warping or bowing like solid wood,
    2. paints smoother (no grain),
    3. more environmentally friendly (made from recycled wood)
    4. less expensive than solid wood

    Rhoda brings up a good point about air quality which relates to formaldehyde used in the resin (glue) in MDF. Look for firms that offer a No added Urea Formaldehyde option.

    Best of Luck!

    To answer an earlier question, some barndoor hardware accepts glass doors. Here's an example: http://www.barndoorhardware.com/product-information/mwe/akzent-r
    We're about to use the ultra modern MWE hardware from Germany to hang antique doors, I can't wait to see how it comes out!

    Most hardware can handle doors up to 300 pounds. Most all doors can be hung on the hardware. We offer solid alder door kits that are easy to assemble if you want to go this route. We also offer the hardware pictured above. See: http://rusticahardware.com/industrial-barn-door-hardware/
