Hi Kim,

Thanks so much for your questions.

The doors were purchased at Dundas Wood Windows & Specialties in Toronto. Here is a link to their website:
www.dundaswoodwindows.ca/

We did get the option to add on a large retractable screen (operates like a phantom screen).

The siding material is a wood called Ipe, and it has been oiled. It is extremely hard wood so it's great for outdoor use, but that much harder to work with then more standard lumber.

I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Natalie

Natalie V for Men At Work your siding flows very well with the patio and interior of the home. Did you use any particular siding profile? or just regular boards?
