Are you looking for China door factory?

Is steel perhaps for this?

Looking for ideas for closet doors to give a loft an industrial look? Steel perhaps?

Answer:

If you want a really heavy industrial look …. I would find some tin and cut with tin snips to fit the door. Find someone with tin press to make the doors the size you want. (They use these to put siding on houses.)

Then you could screw in some big bolts and hardware to hang things from the outside of the doors.

Also….if you are into recycling…..You could turn aluminum cans inside out and bend and shape them to make a sheet that you could then screw onto the door facing individually. This would keep the door very light weight. You could also take a hammer to ‘dent’ the aluminum to achieve a very textured look.

Another way to go is to use paint. They sell stainless steel paint for appliances for repairs or to paint white appliances to look like ’steel’.
I would use the paint…. then wrap the doors in heavy gauge wire in interesting patterns. This would give you the opportunity to be very artistic within the realm of the industrial design concept. Making the doors appear to have a very ‘heavy’ look… without actually being heavy.

Covering the door with pieces of metal ‘flashing’ in a wild and weird design would REALLY make it pop visually. You can buy ‘flashing’ in boxes of a dozen or so. They are really cool looking and come in many different colors and types of metal.

Look at the hardware store for these items.
