When choosing a gateway for your home, whether new home or replacing your current home, there are some key elements to consider. Technology has provided us many different styles and designs to choose from, so here are 5 things to consider when choosing a new door.

1. Size - When building a new house usually have the ability to choose a standard 6'8 "door or can have the space to make a 8'0" front door (or even higher). The fact that the door is higher does not mean it will be visually appealing, so sure to think about scale when making your selection. Also can choose how wide you would like your door to be. Most front doors are 3'0 "wide and have one or two position lamps may be 12 "or 14" each. The width of the lobby area determines the width of the door can be.

2. Materials - The materials used in the Construction is the # 1 determining factor in the price of an entry. Steel, glass fiber (stained to look like wood), and real wood doors are all options you will find on the market. Steel is usually going to be the cheapest type of the door. They look good, but if you get a ding in it, there is little they can do to solution. The doors of glass fiber composites are a product of technology. They are durable and keep the elements very well. Real wood doors (oak, cherry, mahogany, Knotty Alder - etc) can be very attractive visually. The fact that they are of wood means that contract and expand with time. This also means that they will work great day and can not function well the next day.

3. Glass - There are endless combinations of glass that are available. The amount and type of glass you choose have a major impact on the price of your front door. Owners often choose between a glass half full or glass model with matching sidelights. Another important factor is Privacy on the choice of glass. Choose what you like better - over the door glass, more light is left at home.

4. Hardware - You want know what you finish your door handle will be because you want your hinges to match. Schlage makes very good phones without being too expensive. If making a 8'-0 "door high, it is recommended that you do three-point locking system on the door. This will cost extra money, but is vital for properly closing the door over time.

5. Finish - paint or stain, which is usually the issue. If you are making a steel door, you want to paint both sides of the door. If you is making a fiberglass composite door, you have the option of staining or painting your door. Some owners are spot beside the door and painting another. When using a real wooden door, is more common to stain the door. If the stain on the door, be sure to clear layers to seal the stain the door.
