Decorative Doors Add Value and Safety
There are several factors to consider when looking for doorways to add to your home. Whether you are remolding or building a home, making a good choice for your interior or exterior doors can add value and curb appeal to your home. Consider where the door will be installed and how much it will be used. Safety and security is another factor to consider before you buy as well. There are many manufactures to choose from and unlimited styles and colors.
Exterior doorways are more expensive and more difficult to install and also have more options to consider. Many options will include what material they are made from and how big they are. Entryways enhance the exterior look of your home as well as the interior.
Many entryways are solid core or made from fiberglass and are considerably more heavy than hollow core. Exterior doors also come in kits that will include transoms and side view windows that can be made from leaded glass. Installation kits make it easy to install a new system when replacing an existing door. Kits come with pre-hung hardware and are ready to slide into an existing doorway.
Interior doorways can add to any decor and can be a simple smooth front or raised panels with a wood grain look. These types are generally lightweight and have a hollow core. Most are installed in the bathroom, bedroom, and utility rooms.
Interior doorways are not limited to being solid, many pantry doors contain designer glass inlays or smoked glass designs. All of these designs can be changed by adding designer lock sets to match your home decor.
Other options for doorways will include patio sliding style doorways that have screens so you can leave them open without letting in bugs and debris. Doors that have windows installed them are also energy efficient and have low E-glass.
If security is a concern it would be wise to consider wood or metal exterior doorway construction styles and install a quality lock system. Save your self some time and know what you are looking for in features and performance and spend your money wisely.
