Fort Lauderdale's Coastal Climate: The Impact on Your Custom Wood Doors

Fort Lauderdale's subtropical climate presents unique challenges and opportunities for wood doors. The average humidity hovers around 75%, with temperatures ranging from the 60s in winter to the 90s in summer. The city receives an average of 60 inches of rainfall annually and experiences a high UV index, often reaching 10 or higher. These conditions demand careful wood selection. Spanish Cedar, Mahogany, and Teak are excellent choices due to their natural resistance to moisture, decay, and insect infestation. Cypress is another solid option, known for its durability in wet environments. Avoid woods like Poplar or Red Oak unless properly treated and sealed, as they are more susceptible to warping and rot in high-humidity environments. The high UV index also requires finishes with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and degradation.

Matching Fort Lauderdale's Architectural Styles with Custom Wood Doors

Fort Lauderdale boasts a diverse architectural landscape. The prevalent Mediterranean Revival style, often seen in neighborhoods like Harbor Beach, pairs beautifully with arched doors and raised panel doors. Mid-Century Modern homes, prominent in areas such as Imperial Point, benefit from the clean lines of flat panel doors and the space-saving functionality of barn doors. The Craftsman bungalows found in older sections of the city are complemented by louvered doors for ventilation and raised panel doors that reflect the style's emphasis on handcrafted details. French doors are a timeless addition to many architectural styles, especially enhancing the transition to outdoor living spaces in waterfront homes and gardens.

Top Wood Species for Fort Lauderdale Custom Doors

For Fort Lauderdale's climate, we recommend Spanish Cedar, Mahogany, and Teak as top choices for custom wood doors. Spanish Cedar is naturally insect-repellent and moisture-resistant, making it ideal for exterior applications. Mahogany offers exceptional durability and a beautiful grain, while Teak is renowned for its water resistance and longevity, even in harsh marine environments. When finishing, use a high-quality marine-grade sealant with UV protection. Regular cleaning and re-application of sealant every 1-2 years will help maintain the beauty and integrity of your wood doors.
