What to Look For in a New Front Door?

Your front door says a lot about your tastes and attitudes, and it's also one of the most important parts of a house's appearance. There's also a lot more that goes into these widely underestimated architectural features than meets the eye.
Insulation

Doors and windows have long been known as a major point of heat or air conditioning loss. Contemporary front doors have many innovative features to help keep the weather out, from durable seals to insulated cores.

Material

A heavy wooden door can provide a sense of weight and security, while metals and other contemporary materials are a little easier on the pocketbook. Your initial choice of materials will also determine how easy it will be for you to refinish your door down the line.

Style

A door with multiple panels is great for many architectural styles, such as cottage or apartment homes. A bungalow might be better suited by a plain door with a small window. The perfect fit for a town modern home might incorporate long panels or be simple and unadorned.

The door you choose should work for you personally as well as working visually and practically for your home. It's the first thing you'll see when you get home, after all.
