How to Choose the Composite Doors That Best Suit Your Home
Every element of your home works together to deliver a certain image and impression. When it comes to the exterior of your home, the doors play a very large part in that overall impression. Choosing the composite doors that best suit your house, your personal tastes and your budget can be challenging. Thankfully there are a few tools out there to help make this selection process easier.
Narrowing Down the Styles
Almost every style of door comes in composite today. From the rustic stable doors to simple cottage styles and from panelled doors to oval doors and beyond, composite products are beginning to dominate the market thanks to better designs, improved security and impressive durability.
But all of this choice may leave you intimidated. Ask yourself whether a convenient, yet traditional stable door is what your family needs. Can you install this onto the back door and choose something more elaborate for the front entrance? Or is the simplicity of a cottage door more to your liking? The clean lines of composite cottage doors can beautifully compliment contemporary homes.
The Design of Your Home
Besides your personal tastes and the needs of your family, the design of your home is what will dictate which type of composite door you choose. Consider the amount of wall space available around your front and back door, as well as any garage entrances or other exterior doorways. This initial specification can eliminate many options, including sidelights, fanlights and arches, depending on how much room you have.
Look for software or retailer expertise that will allow you to design the composite doors you’ve been dreaming about. These programs take into account your budget, space and design considerations, ultimately helping to direct you to the styles that suit best. The value of these programs is that they will quickly eliminate the styles of composite doors that will not suit – whether that is based on the size, shape or features of a particular model. Your choice will be quicker and more exact with this extra level of guidance.
Building Regulations
In certain cases the building regulations will specify that your new door needs to be a certain style. FD30 fire doors are to be installed between your attached garage and living space. Also, when safety is an issue due to the threat of crime, security doors are highly recommended. These technical specifications also need to be considered when choosing your new doors.
Composite doors come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and styles. Depending on your tastes, needs and the architectural style of your home, certain types of composite doors will be much suited than others.
There are many styles of composite front doors to choose from with the ability to design and customise your own composite doors with many companies able to allow you to design your own.
