Novus (Model N18) — Flush Panel Wood-Tone

The Novus is a real insulated steel door with a highly detailed wood-tone finish baked onto the panels. You get the visual richness of a premium wood carriage door with none of the wood-door maintenance headaches — no refinishing, no warping in the sun, no termite worry, no annual re-staining. The steel underneath is the same top-tier polyurethane sandwich construction as our Series 18 doors, so it's also insulated, quiet, and dent-resistant.

The Novus finish is a baked-on UV-resistant coating, not a stain or paint. It holds up dramatically better in direct Arizona sun than real wood would, and it never needs re-sealing. If your door faces west or south and takes hard afternoon sun, the routine care is the same as any painted door: rinse it off with a garden hose every couple of months to knock off dust, and check the bottom weather seal once a year.

The three tones each land in a different zone. Smoked Ebony is deep and dramatic — a great contrast piece against light stucco and dark trim. Spiced Sienna reads as a warm mid-tone wood — a natural fit for Spanish and Mediterranean architecture. Whiskey Blonde is the light, sandy tone — modern and bright against desert landscaping. We can bring a physical sample to your free quote appointment so you can hold each one against your actual stucco and trim in the driveway light.

The finish is engineered specifically for exterior UV exposure and holds its color much longer than a real stained wood door would. Some very gradual mellowing is normal after many years of harsh Arizona sun, but you won't see the aggressive graying, checking, or splintering that untreated wood develops. The finish is covered under Invicta's manufacturer warranty against premature failure.

Yes — Novus is manufactured to fit the same range of residential openings as the standard Series lineup, including 8-foot, 9-foot, 10-foot, 16-foot, and 18-foot widths. If you have an unusually tall opening or a custom double-door setup, we'll verify Novus availability for your exact size when we measure at the quote.

A real wood carriage door will always have more visual "life" up close — real grain, real depth, real material. But it comes with real problems in Arizona: warping from sun exposure, splitting from monsoon humidity swings, refinishing costs every few years, and much higher upfront cost. The Novus gives you 90% of the aesthetic at a fraction of the lifetime cost and none of the maintenance. For most Phoenix-metro homeowners, that's the right trade.

The Novus (Model N18) sits at the top of the Invicta residential line — luxury integrated wood-tone panels on a flush steel base, 27-gauge hot-dipped galvanized steel, premium hardware included as standard. Because the wood tone (Smoked Ebony, Spiced Sienna, or Whiskey Blonde), opening size, and window/hardware choices all move the number meaningfully, we quote every Novus install in Fountain Hills in person against your specific home. Written itemized quote, free in-home consultation, no obligation.

The Novus (Model N18) is a premium build with integrated wood-tone panels custom-configured to your chosen tone (Smoked Ebony, Spiced Sienna, or Whiskey Blonde), so plan on roughly 6-8 weeks from order to delivery. Once your Novus (Model N18) arrives at our Mesa shop, we schedule the install — typically within the week if you're flexible — and the install itself is a one-day job for our in-house team.

Yes — Farnsworth can walk you through financing options for a new Invicta Novus (Model N18) at your free in-home consultation. We work with common home-improvement financing programs so you can spread the install cost over monthly payments instead of paying all up front. Ask us during the quote and we'll walk you through the current options, terms, and what pre-qualifies you — no hard credit pull required for the initial conversation.

Sometimes — if your Invicta Novus (Model N18) is being replaced because of a covered event (car-into-door impact, monsoon wind damage, hail damage, break-in), your homeowners insurance may cover full or partial replacement. A spring failure or normal wear-and-tear is usually NOT covered. If you think an insurance claim might apply, mention it at your free consultation and we can help you document the damage with photos and a written scope-of-work quote that most insurance adjusters will accept. We are not licensed insurance advisors, so run any specific coverage questions past your carrier directly.

The Novus (Model N18) is specifically engineered to deliver the look of stained wood without the AZ-heat maintenance real wood requires — no re-staining, no re-sealing, no cracking, no fading. The integrated wood-tone finish is UV-stabilized and holds color under Fountain Hills sun for the long haul. Underneath, 27-gauge hot-dipped galvanized steel with polystyrene insulation delivers real thermal performance too.
