What to look for when choosing a new door

What to look for when choosing a new front door ? Choosing a new front door is something that is rarely thought of until you actually really need a new one, however choosing the right door can make a considerable difference to your home. There are all different types of door out there to choose from, so choosing the right one can be quite a daunting task. Asking the right questions can help you to make the right decision when choosing a door that will not only enhance the beauty of your property, but also will add value to your home. What is the difference between engineered and bespoke wooden doors? An Engineered door is one made of fibrous timbers packed together with a laminate covering on top. Whilst a bespoke wooden door is made solely of Solid timber and is so not only stronger but also less prone to cracking when fitted. This means that the quality of the door is a lot higher and as such will last a lot longer because of this fact. Therefore it can prove to be a lot more valuable for you in the long run to purchase a bespoke door over that of an engineered door. This is because although the initial cost of an engineered door is cheaper it may only last for five years, where as a bespoke door can last for over 30 years and as such work out cheaper over the lifetime of the door. What do I need to look for in a Bespoke timber door? It is important that any door you choose is made from all solid timber and that there are no composite parts. Companies will sometimes substitute solid timber panels for that off a composite material which when left exposed to the elements, can expand and crack on the doors surface. Solid Mortise and Tenon joints These provide strength and security to the door; they are what join the panel's rails and styles of the door together. A high quality weatherboard and draught proofing system The weatherboard protects the bottom of the door from the rain, wind and snow during the winter months, it also protects moisture from gathering at the bottom of the door which may cause it to swell up in the future. The Draught Proofing System This helps retain the warmth in your home. A good draught proofing system can save you a fortune on your heating bills and keep you warm in those winter months. Why timber over plastic? Simply put timber doors will retain the features of a period property and will in turn increase the value of your home. Estate agents will always state to you about the importance of Kerb appeal when it comes to selling your home. As such a grand entrance can mean the difference between your property selling or staying on the market for a lot longer...
