A rising number of homeowners are selecting barn
doors due to their combination of practicality and
aesthetics, and Simpson Door Company aims to
meet the growing demand with a line of interior and
exterior barn doors. Offered in a variety of classic
barn door designs, doors can be mounted on a slid-
ing barn door track or as a traditional swing door.
e Simpson classic barn door design styles are
available in 1 ⅜- or 1 ¾-inch thickness with a ¾-inch
grooved flat panel, and barn doors can ordered for
interior or exterior applications. Virtually any Simpson
door can be used in a barn track application—choose
any door design and any wood species. A "weathered"
option is offered to further give the barn doors a rustic
look. Because of the many options available, Simpson
recommends visiting its design tool, Doormagination,

dard options or to create a custom door from scratch.

HENRY COMPANY
To help with the challenges of preventing water and mold damage and reducing
energy costs when remodeling or residing a home, the Henry Blueskin VP100
provides a water-resistive air barrier with watertight laps and self-sealing technol-
ogy to eliminate air and moisture gaps around nails and other fasteners. e fully
adhered, peel-and-stick system is ideal for wood frame construction—though it
does adhere to most construction surfaces—and installs with common hand tools.
Henry Blueskin VP100 is made from a tri-laminate polypropylene fabric with a
pressure-sensitive adhesive that eliminates the need for mechanical fasteners. Rolls
are available in 100-ft. lengths and 4-, 6-, 9-, 12- and 48-in. widths for full wall
and flashing applications.
e Blueskin VP100 can be combined with a Henry sealant to further seal around
reverse laps and penetrations, such as pipes, duct work, electrical and other extru-
sions. Such a pairing can contribute to a home's energy efficiency as well as savings
in HVAC costs. e self-adhered water-resistive air barrier is part of the Henry
Residential Building Envelope Systems, which includes compatible membranes,
flashings, sealants and accessories.
