GlobalPointe

GlobalPointe interior doors and barn doors give homeowners and remodelers choices for changing doors throughout a house. EasyPrep provides a consistently primed starting surface for paint, while Shaker and Shaker Glass let you vary the look from room to room. Start with what each room needs.

GlobalPointe sources and assembles interior doors. Its engineered door range covers multiple wood species and styles. Its glass doors receive finish assembly in Genoa City.

EasyPrep for painted doors

EasyPrep doors receive three primer applications and UV drying to promote even, consistent coverage. That’s useful on a painted door because the preparation shows through the finished work. Plan the topcoats into the job.

GlobalPointe’s paint instructions call for a quality oil-based primer and two topcoats of interior oil-based or acrylic latex paint. Test-finish one door and check the results at least two days after application to catch drying or finish problems before repeating them across the job.

Different styles for different rooms

GlobalPointe offers custom variations of interior and barn doors, so you have room to choose different styles throughout the house. Carry a common finish or panel pattern between rooms to keep the choices connected.

The Shaker collection includes multiple styles, with detailed mouldings available for most Shaker-style doors. Added moulding gives you another way to work with older, more detailed trim. Compare the door detail with the casing already in the room.

Shaker Glass offers white laminated or clear glass. Clear glass suits an opening where you want a view between rooms. Where privacy matters, judge the white laminated option by how much detail you can see through it under the room’s lighting.

Barn doors need a clear slide path

GlobalPointe offers barn doors for tight spaces, with hardware and handles available for every barn door. A sliding door can free up the floor area a swinging door crosses, but it needs wall space beside the opening. Check that slide path for switches, outlets, trim and furniture.

Choose the hardware and handle with the door so you can plan the assembly together. Check mounting support and handle clearance before finishing the wall.

Finishing and job-site preparation

For a stained finish, the wood species matters. GlobalPointe warns that Pine, Maple, Birch and Poplar may stain unevenly and recommends wood conditioner or stain control. A sealer can reduce grain contrast and stain penetration, so test the complete finish before committing to the color.

The finishing mistake to avoid is coating the faces and overlooking the edges. GlobalPointe requires all six sides finished before final installation for warranty compliance: both faces, both long edges, the top and the bottom.

Store doors flat in a dry, well-ventilated building with the HVAC operating and balanced. Inspect wood doors on site before installation. Complete machining before finishing so the cut areas can be sealed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do GlobalPointe EasyPrep doors need paint?

Yes. EasyPrep gives you three primer applications with UV drying, but primer isn’t the finished surface. GlobalPointe’s paint instructions call for two topcoats of interior oil-based or acrylic latex paint.

Can you get GlobalPointe doors in custom sizes or styles?

GlobalPointe offers extra-large custom widths and help with custom interior and barn-door designs. Detailed mouldings are also available for most Shaker-style doors, which gives you another way to coordinate the door with existing trim.

Do GlobalPointe barn doors come with hardware?

Hardware and handles are available for every GlobalPointe barn door, but that doesn’t mean they’re included with the door. The door, track and handle need to work together, with enough wall space for the door to slide clear of the opening.

Do you have to finish the top and bottom of a GlobalPointe door?

Yes. GlobalPointe requires all six sides to be finished before final installation for warranty compliance, including the top and bottom. Any raw wood exposed when you fit the door also needs to be refinished.

How should you store GlobalPointe doors before installation?

Store GlobalPointe doors flat on a level surface, at least 3½ inches above the floor, in a dry building with balanced, operating HVAC. Protective coverings belong beneath the bottom door and over the top, with room for air to circulate around and underneath. A damp building with fresh wet work is a poor place to leave unfinished wood doors.

Why does stain look blotchy on a wood door?

Pine, Maple, Birch and Poplar can absorb stain unevenly, and GlobalPointe recommends wood conditioner or stain control to help even out the result. Test the whole finish system first, because a sealer can reduce both grain contrast and how deeply the stain penetrates. Natural differences in grain and color are normal, so matching doors won’t necessarily look identical.
