Looking to add the faux wood touch to some doors, both OH and walk doors. I am curious if this is doable and practical on brand new doors or if they should just be ordered with the faux look on them? I am told fading is an issue and factory doors receive a laminate that holds up better? Is it possible to buy the laminate later and do this?
Also wondering if walk doors really should be 6 pane to look right or if flat doors work with this?
Open to other techniques that look nice. Was considering black doors as an accent but a huge and black OH door is going to have serious problems with heat gain in the summer for sure.
If new doors are ordered, should they possibly be ordered in a brown color that makes it easier to add the wood look later? Could order white but I have learned that getting coverage of a dark color over white can suck....
