Stainless Steel Barn Door Hardware for Clean and Traditional Designs

Beauty is in the details. If you’ve ever visited a castle in Europe, you may have noticed the artistic designs covering every inch of the structure. While modern and traditional home design can’t compare to the majesty of a French chateau, you can still incorporate this beautiful concept into the style of your home. One way is by adding subtle and intricately elegant stainless steel barn door hardware to your modern barn door.

Think of barn door hardware as the final touch that pull the entire barn door design together. While it may not be the first thing people notice when viewing your beautiful sliding barn door, stainless steel barn door hardware is what completes the clean, polished look. In this way, choosing the perfect barn door hardware is essential to creating your dream barn door.

Customizing Your Barn Door Hardware: Stainless Steel Vs Satin Chrome

When looking at satin chrome and stainless steel, you may be wondering what makes these seemingly similar metals different from each other. It’s important to understand the differences, not only for functional purposes but also for aesthetic reasons.

Stainless steel is made by combining nickel and chromium. The process of combining metals to make another is called “alloy.” In this way, stainless steel is a metal alloy consisting of mostly nickel, and chromium (at least 10.5%) that is added to make it more durable. Because stainless steel is a strong metal that is corrosion and scratch-resistant, it’s the ideal choice for sliding barn door hardware.

Satin Chrome is not an alloy, and consists of a chromium metal core with a chromium plating. Chrome is short for chromium and refers to the electroplated layer of chromium covering the metal core (referred to as plating). This plating increases its aesthetic appeal, and makes it more resistant to corrosion. Satin chrome is a much lighter metal, making it less durable but more desireable for decorative purposes.

Although they look quite similar, they are different in that satin chrome is much shinier than stainless steel, which has a more brushed appearance. If you want your barn door hardware to really “pop,” then you’ll want to go with satin chrome. Stainless steel is aesthetically pleasing as well, but is more subtle in appearance.

We recommend stainless steel barn door hardware for its strength and durability, especially if the rolling barn door will be getting a lot of heavy use.
