When considering a front door replacement security is the primary factor, but you also want it to enhance your home’s appearance and curb appeal. If you’re keeping the original entry door frame, you’ll want a slab door. If you’re changing the size or aesthetic of the whole entryway you’ll want a pre-hung door, which includes the door slab, frame, and hinges. This also opens up a range of design options, such as double front doors, a front door with sidelights or a transom window. Many homeowners still prefer the look and feel of a traditional wood front door. However, many steel front doors can mimic the natural appearance of wood while also offering greater security. From a colour standpoint, black front doors have become increasingly popular because dirt and scuffs are more easily hidden. Black is also a neutral colour that won’t limit future house painting choices.
Upgrading your patio doors also offers many benefits. It can improve your home security, eliminate drafts and leaks, and help make your home more energy efficient. Many different styles of sliding glass doors, garden doors, and French doors are available to match your home’s décor.
