A Guide to Doors

How to choose stunning and practical doors for your home. Doors serve a practical and aesthetic role in the overall appearance and function of your home. The front door provides a first impression, along with security and privacy to your property. Meanwhile, internal doors shut areas off, which can mean savings on heating and cooling, noise reduction and the miraculous disappearance of clutter.

The Look

Doors add the finishing touches to a room, so consider the following when choosing yours:

  • Make sure your door suits the architectural style of both the design and color of your home
  • A door can be painted any color to suit your décor. Many of the fiberglass doors can be stained as well.
  • Wood doors can be stained to bring out warm earthy tones. Be aware that using lighter colors on one side and darker colors on the other side of an external timber door may cause warping or splitting of the door surface. This is because different shades of color absorb different amounts of heat.

Materials

Most doors are made of aluminum, fiberglass, wood or steel. The material your door is made of will impact its durability, energy efficiency, appearance, and of course, cost.

Swing of the door

Think about which side of the door you wish to place the hinges as this will determine which way the door will open. Of course, this can apply to sliding doors too.

Security

Is your external door an invitation to potential robbers? Have you considered that locking system you are going to use? Ask your United project consultant for ways to protect your home from a break-in.

Soundproofing

Sound is often a significant stress factor. You may want to consider soundproofing doors to the study, the kids’ rumpus room or, if you are on a busy road, the front door.

Your door and your environment

The weather may affect the type of door you choose. For instance, if you live in a beach house you will have different doors than someone living in a snowy climate. You should consider the exposure your door will receive from the elements (for instance, it may receive some protection from a porch) and above all, match your door’s durability to the climate.

If you spend a lot of time entertaining outdoors or have a great view, you may want to install a door that will complement your lifestyle. There are a variety of French hinged and sliding patio doors that provide a beautiful connection between the outside and the inside.
