By changing your exterior door you can significantly improve the look of your home without major cost or home "down-time (living in a construction zone).
Next question..What type of exterior door should you choose: Solid wood doors, Fiberglass doors, Metal doors ...etc. Depending on the look desired, options are limitless. New sustainable options such as Bamboo interior and exterior doors are also coming to the market. The International Builders' Show® (IBS) is the largest annual building industry trade show in the country. It was held this past week and was THE place to get in on the newest and hottest door trends in (and out of) the country. Types of wood used for exterior doors include Mahogany, Knotty Alder, and Oak. Doors can be painted or stained to suit your needs.
Not sure about a solid wood door? Need something more unique? Add glass panels for an entirely different look. Solid wood doors with glass give your home an elegant look (again..without the cost and headache of remodeling)
Depending on the size of opening of your front door, you may choose double entry doors. Double entry doors may also be accented by adding sidelites and transoms. Also, consider door height. Can your home use an 8 ft. Exterior front door?
Arched double doors are another option that add a unique flair to your home that sets it apart from others. This can create an expensive look for a fraction of the cost of renovating.
Thinking of selling your home? Ask any Realtor...curb appeal is tops when considering a home. Adding a new front door will add value to your home and may tip that unsure buyer in your favor. Go ahead...discover the door to your world!!
