Posted by Metal & Hammer on May 25th, 2021

The front door of your home probably deserves a lot more attention than you give it. There was a time when a basic wooden front door with a pane of glass in the upper center was the choice for many homeowners. Luckily, things have changed for the better. Your front door matters more than you may know.

Security

Your front door's main job is to keep you and your family safe.

  • 34% of criminals break into a home by entering through the front door.
  • Old wooden doors are among the easiest to break into.
  • You need a sturdy secure door and frame to keep your home safe.

Curb appeal

Doors add curb appeal to your home. The door is one of the first things that people notice when they pull up to the house. The door should indicate what to expect inside; if your home has a beautiful, modern interior, the door should match that look. Think about how much a stunning double door withside lights will enhance the look of your home.

Views 

In most cases, a home is your single largest purchase. If you have paid money for a home with a gorgeous view, don't block the view with an unattractive door. Instead, choose a door that enhances the outdoor views that you loveMulti panel sliding glass doors add a pretty dimension to your home, enhance security, and allow you to enjoy the stunning views that you paid a lot of money to enjoy.

Inviting

A home's door can make the house look warm and inviting or cold and standoffish. Choose a door that gives your home the vibe that you want to convey. Style, color, and design can all change the way your front door is perceived. Open, modern glass doors give an inviting look, as do doors that have a pop of color.

Comfort

Your door provides comfort. It keeps the elements outside, where they belong. If you don't have a good door, your heating and cooling can seep through even small cracks. Wind that gets in through the door can strain your heating system as it will have to work harder.

Your door serves many purposes; make sure the door you choose for your home is up to the task. A front door is more than a means to enter and exit a home.
