Identifying Your Door
Although doors can be fashionable and a talking point, homeowners may not be aware of the type of door installed on their property. That is because you may not choose the entrance. Another reason is that most people will pick their door on looks and style rather than remembering names.
However, when choosing new doors, it can be useful to know some of the terminologies. That is why we have put together this list to help you identify your door.
Take a look at these simple styles and design to help in identifying your door you currently have.
The Front Door
The front door is at the entrance to your home. It is the part in which people approach to enter your home. Furthermore, the front door can vary in styles and designs, including the ones listed below. The front door usually makes a statement about the people that live there.
Some side doors are entrance doors as well. However, many homeowners are not as concerned with how they look as they can often unseen.
With the front door being in use most of the time, you will need to use good quality material and design. Double glazed and triple glazed options are available on front doors using materials such as uPVC, aluminium, composite and timber.
Bi-Folding Doors
If you want to create a spacious feel, Bi-fold doors are a great way to open up your living space. They allow you to open up the full house or room, unlike sliding doors, which can only open halfway.
Choosing a bi-folding door will allow more space and light to enter your home. There are two options to choose from uPVC and aluminium. Aluminium has a slimmer frame and can come in a wide range of stylish colours.
Patio Doors
Patio doors slide open, giving access to the outside of your home effortlessly. They are perfect for those who love to spend time outside in the garden or on a balcony. They are useful in an opening where external and internal space is limited. That makes patio sliding doors a lot more practical.
Patio doors can come in aluminium and uPVC. You can choose the most suitable type of material for your house. Because they lack bulky frames, patio doors are perfect for views and allowing more light into your home.
French Doors
French doors are excellent to add style and character to a home. They can come in a wide range of materials such as uPVC, aluminium and timber. Furthermore, they have multiple design option and colours to choose for your home.
These doors are more effective when trying to gain access to balconies. They can also fit between rooms as a way of opening up areas. Plus, with modern technology and triple glazing, French doors can be warmer in winter months.
