Your front door brings the perfect balance to your home’s overall look. It welcomes others, beautifies your home, and protects you and your loved ones. Curb appeal is impacted directly by your entry door’s color, style, glass, and makeup. It offers you security with state-of-the-art locking mechanisms. Its overall vibe can bring an embracing welcome, and extend warm hospitality to your family and friends from the moment they set foot on your property.
How do you go about finding the best choice in a front door replacement for your home? Here are some tips to get you started:
How to Select the Perfect Front Door for Your Triangle Area Home
1. Choose the Optimal Door Material
Begin by looking at your material options and select the best fit for your long-term needs.
Steel Doors
Steel doors are cost effective and practical. They are super safe and give you some of the best security an entry door can provide.
Fiberglass Doors
Fiberglass doors are unbeatable when it comes to durability. They withstand the elements with ease, and (unlike wood doors) they are low maintenance because of their makeup (think canoes and hard hats).
2. Complement Your Home’s Architecture
Whether your home is Traditional, Modern, Contemporary, or Craftsman, there’s a perfect door for your dwelling. Here are some ideas of where to start when it comes to selecting your new entry door’s style:
Traditional
Get timeless, classic features in your entry door to match the beauty of your home. A solid fiberglass door which mimics the look of wood is a great place to start. Consider adding bold hardware and a rich color to bring out the best in your door’s overall look.
Craftsman
The artistic beauty of a Craftsman home calls for added interest from the entry door. A fiberglass door with a gorgeous “Craftsman light” glass at the top third of the door gives you the classic Craftsman look to complement your home. This gorgeous door allows refreshing natural light to teem into your home, giving it an uplifting vibe you’ll enjoy year-round.
Modern or Contemporary
Clean lines, open spaces, and plenty of natural light are foundations of the Modern home. Select a sturdy steel or durable fiberglass front door with glass panels to complement your home’s clean, high-end look.
Cottage
Add a pop of color to your home to create visual interest to your Cottage style home. If you prefer a more conservative approach, simply match your home’s trim color on your new entry door. The classic look of wood can be mimicked with a durable fiberglass door, complementing your Cottage home’s style perfectly.
