Changing your Front Entry door is an easy way to improve your home's curb appeal, energy efficiency, and security. There are many styles and types of doors to choose from, including modern, traditional, and wood paneled doors. By including decorative glass or wood elements, your door can add visual interest to your home and let in additional light. You will want to select a door that matches your budget and style.

Before you make a purchase, it's important to understand how much maintenance each type will require. The exterior steel front door is typically not a solid piece of steel, but instead is steel plated on the front and back. It is sandwiched between a solid piece of wood, which makes it easier to drill through than steel. In addition to being weatherproof, front entry doors need to be functional and feature locks, a doorknob, sidelights, and kickplates.
Another consideration is the color of the Front Entry door. The colors you choose will depend on the surrounding areas and the time of year. The summer season will demand a different color than winter, and vice-versa. Make sure you select a color that matches the other interior elements of your home. You don't want to look out of place in the summer and drab in winter. Choosing the right color for your front door can be an important part of enhancing the appearance of your home.
Your Front Entry door is one of the first things guests will notice when approaching your home. It should reflect your personality and style. Decorative, paneled, and split horizontally, the front door is an integral part of your home and it represents your personality to visitors. You can incorporate any of these features into your entry door design. If you're unsure, you can discuss them with the company you choose. You can even make your Front Entry door unique by adding glass inserts.
Some homeowners like to let in more natural light, so you can choose a door with a full view glass. Glass sidelights and transom windows are great options for light, but be sure you check what type of glass is available for your home. Glass sidelights and transom windows are another option if you're concerned about privacy. It can be hard to make up your mind on these factors, so ask your door company for recommendations.
Transoms are a great choice for your Front Entry door. Transoms are rectangular or half-round windows above the entryway. Transoms make your door look taller than it actually is. And they also add depth. If you're planning to put two sidelights in your door, you may want to consider installing a transom. The width of the transom and the frame of the double door with transom will match.
Double Front Entry doors are a great option if you have a wide foyer and a front patio. Double front doors create an impressive entrance that complements a large foyer and a front patio. Moreover, they allow more traffic in a wide entryway, which will allow more natural light and air flow into your home. By creating a wider entrance, you may reduce your electric bill and create a more appealing space. This can make your home more accessible to everyone.
New doors typically have pre-hung frames. They're the best option if your frames are outdated and if you'd like to enlarge your opening. Prehung doors come in both left and right-handed styles. When choosing a door, make sure to add 1/2 inch to the frame height and width. If you need a larger door, then consider adding an extra 1/2 inch to the frame height and width. You'll be glad you did.
Fiberglass is a man-made material that mimics wood, but requires less maintenance than wood. It comes in smooth and wood grain finishes, which flatter modern homes and contemporary styles. Fiberglass front doors are highly durable and do not require paint, which makes them a great option for those who want an elegant and beautiful front entryway. You can choose between fiberglass and wood front doors, so you can match the look of your home with its exterior.
