BIG Doors
Folding Doors, MultiGlide Doors, Pivot Doors, Multi-Slide Doors - you name it, these doors are BIG! They're oversized, expansive walls of glass that let a whole lot of natural light in and create clear opening spans that you could drive a truck through.
A lot of homeowners dream of having a BIG door in their house, architects love designing them into a house and builders are left wondering how the heck do I install it properly into a house?! Sure, these doors are complicated - the bigger the door, the more critical it is for the opening to be prepared plumb, level and square.
Fear not, our Window & Door Service Team has experience installing these BIG doors for our pro customers in the past and we can provide that support as a sub for your next project that requires a BIG door. We also have some BIG doors on display in our showroom at Hamilton. Contact sales@hbsnj.com for more details.

TruStile Doors
We've been talking a lot about extended lead times on factory order products for a while now, so it's really refreshing when we get to talk about FAST LEAD TIMES on a factory order product - like TruStile's MDF Door.
When it comes to semi-custom door manufacturers, TruStile is chasing G.O.A.T. status. TruStile is a door only company, backed by Marvin (ever heard of 'em?) and their MDF interior door is a leader in its class and ships directly to Hamilton in 3-4 weeks! That means a TruStile door can be pre-hung in our Door Shop and at your jobsite within 5-6 weeks.
TruStile MDF doors are just built different - their MDF is home-grown, NOT imported, the MDF is book matched for greater stability, they pour over the details to provide a close resemblance to wood and they have a wood edge, called "the wedge" for tighter fastening to hinges and door hardware.

Cavity Pocket Door Hardware
Like a fine wine paired with aged cheese or a cold beer on a hot summer day, nothing complements a great interior door better than great door hardware. Not only can we supply TruStile Doors for your next project, Hamilton Building Supply also offers the G.O.A.T. in pocket door hardware - CavitySliders Pocket Frames.
The CS Cavity Slider is a pocket door frame system constructed out of thick extruded aluminum, built to allow a door weighing up to 500lbs ride as smooth as butter. Better yet, Cavity also makes a slick soft close mechanism called the "SofStop", which is a great finishing touch for a well-rounded pocket door system. Best of all, Hamilton has these pocket door frames in stock.

Hamilton PRO Experience
For our customers who have been before... it's back. For our customers who haven't been... you're in for a treat.
After a couple year hiatus, we are pleased to announce that our annual customer BBQ event is back this year as the Hamilton PRO Experience and will be taking place on Thursday, June 16th in our yard at 65 Klockner Road, Hamilton, NJ.
Since we've been locked away and social distancing for the past two years, we've been pouring over ways to make this our most interactive event ever. We're going to have product and installation demos from most vendors, giveaways, prizes and of course hot BBQ and cold brew. More details to follow...

Composite Trim
It wouldn't be a Hot Read if we didn't talk about composite trim and siding details. This is old news, but still very relevant - Wolf PVC trim has announced a 12% price increase that will take effect May 1.
Believe it or not, we're hearing rumblings that there might actually be another price increase from the the PVC manufacturers sometime in May/June. That's hearsay right now, but these days, we can't it put it past the manufacturers to kick out another increase.
With PVC on the rise we can't help but suggest TruExterior as your best option for composite trim. Never really heard of TruExterior? Been hibernating during the pandemic? That's OK, we have all the details for you right here. Check out a shot from some DURATION Cove/Dutch siding and BLACK TruExterior trim hung in our showroom. Fire.
