Sell Your Home with Simple Farmhouse Staging
To attract the highest bid for your property, a real estate agent will likely suggest staging your home. Many potential home-buyers are interested in a certain design aesthetic and transforming your home with a farmhouse feel can take advantage of a very popular and on-trend style.
A simple way to add farmhouse details to your home is with barn doors. A recent study found that listings that highlighted barn doors in the home sold faster (up to 57 days) and at a higher price point.1 The good news is that adding a barn door to your farmhouse-style home is incredibly easy and affordable.
Viba Barn Doors & Hardware offers custom-size sliding doors that can be installed almost anywhere in your home. Our customers have used our doors to add privacy to their kitchen, replace swing doors to bedrooms or pantries, and even ordered oversized or tiny barn doors for hard to conceal spaces.
We custom make all orders at our production site in Mississauga, Ontario and then disassemble the door for easy and affordable shipping. Once the package arrives, simply follow our thorough instructions to effortlessly hang doors. A customer recently shared how simple it was to install his custom barn door.
By adding a sliding barn door to your home, you can realize its true selling potential and add a high-visual impact to any room for an affordable price.

Do Barn Doors Need a Bottom Guide?
To be safe, barn doors need a bottom guide to prevent the door from swinging or coming off the track. To ensure secure operation, we require all customers to choose a bottom guide when purchasing a barn door from Viba Barn Doors & Hardware.
The standard guide included with our doors is invisible but is best for an experienced carpenter or handyperson. To install the standard bottom guide, you will need to route a channel on the bottom of the barn door with a slotting bit. If you’re not comfortable with this method, we also offer an EZ install bottom guide.
As the name implies, our EZ Install Bottom Guide is simple to use and doesn’t require any additional tools. The piece is affixed to the wall trim and creates a channel which the barn door slides into. Once properly installed, the EZ Install Bottom Guide prevents the door from coming off the wall.
Barn doors can be installed in a variety of ways to provide privacy while adding to the overall aesthetic of your home. They are also extremely safe, if properly constructed and installed. At Viba Barn Doors & Hardware, our standard hardware has five separate sets of features that ensure your door is safe, including; anti-jump blocks, end stops, soft close actuators, soft closing hardware and bottom guides.
If you would like to add the EZ Install Bottom Guide to your order, simply add it to your cart at checkout. It’s extremely affordable, costing less than $8 per guide.

Unique Ways to Incorporate a Barn Door in Your Home
Easy to Install Barn Doors
All of our barn doors are shipped with clear instructions on how to safely install our products in your home. A recent customer took the time to document their project and the experience confirms that Viba Hardware makes easy to install barn doors.
Step One:
First, the track (including extension) was installed on the wall as per our instructions.
Step Two:
The door was stained onsite by the customer and he used painters tape to mark the roller location.
Step Three:
Using the tape as a guide, the rollers were easily installed.
Step Four:
Next, the door was hung with stops and soft-close actuators installed.
Step Five:
The pull handle and EZ install bottom guide were installed to finish the job.
The end result is a beautiful custom barn door that sits about ½” from the wall.
Our easy to install method comes with thorough instructions and we’re always available to help by phone or email.
