Classic Wood is the more accessible real-wood line — traditional raised-panel and recessed-panel designs in hemlock or meranti, at price points significantly below the Reserve Wood family. It's the right choice for Hudson Valley homeowners who want authentic wood and a traditional silhouette without going to the top tier.
Where Classic Wood Fits
Between Bridgeport (insulated raised-panel steel) and Reserve Wood Custom (built-to-order premium real wood). You get the warmth and grain of real wood, in a curated set of traditional designs, at a price most Hudson Valley homeowners can budget for as a real-wood door.
Hemlock is the standard species — light color, classic East Coast wood door look. Meranti is the upgrade — denser, more weather-resistant, longer-lasting, slightly more expensive.
Designs
Traditional raised-panel and recessed-panel layouts — long-panel, short-panel, three-piece configurations. Optional window inserts in standard sash patterns. Decorative hardware in classic finishes available.
Maintenance
Like all real wood doors, Classic Wood needs refinishing every 3-7 years depending on sun exposure. Hemlock requires more frequent attention than meranti. Reynolds offers a maintenance program for both.

What wood species does Classic Wood use?
Hemlock is the standard species — light color, classic East Coast wood door appearance. Meranti is the upgrade — denser, more weather-resistant, slightly more expensive. Both are real wood; both need ongoing maintenance like any wood door.
How is Classic Wood different from Reserve Wood?
Reserve Wood is the premium real-wood line — mahogany, hemlock, accoya — with full custom design freedom and the highest construction tier. Classic Wood is more accessible — hemlock or meranti, traditional design palette, lower price. Both are real wood with the same maintenance requirements.
Does Classic Wood come insulated?
Insulated configurations are available for both hemlock and meranti. Real-wood insulated doors are significantly heavier than insulated steel — Reynolds specs spring and opener sizing accordingly at quote.
How long will a Classic Wood door last in the Hudson Valley?
With proper maintenance — refinishing every 3-7 years and annual hardware inspection — Classic Wood doors regularly last 20-30+ years. Meranti tends to outlast hemlock in moisture exposure. Reynolds offers a maintenance program to extend life.
