Step 1: Decide on Material
There are three main materials that you can pick from: a steel front door, a fiberglass front door and a classic wooden front door. All of these doors come in a variety of different styles, so deciding which material is best for you is the first step in finding the perfect front door for you. A steel front door will probably be the least expensive material, but it will last the least amount of time as well. A fiberglass front door is usually a popular option because of the little upkeep and still stylish look. A fiberglass doors price is usually between a steel and wooden door. A wooden door is considered high end because of the luxurious look it will give your home. If you want your home to make a stunning statement, a wooden door is definitely the way to go.
All these material types can offer different levels of energy efficiency and hurricane protection, so it is important to find out the details of each product when you are determining which material to go with.
Step 2: Front Door Size
The size of the door as well as all the other features can make a statement about you and your home. The standard size of a single door is between the range of 32”-36” wide, but maybe the standard size isn’t for you! How about a double door entry way to make a statement? Or how about a much taller door to make your entrance grand? There are so many possibilities, and once you decide on a material, you can see the kinds of doors that are available, or you can go with a custom job.
Step 3: Front Door Style
There are a couple things to keep in mind when determining what kind of style you will decide on. You want to go bold and make a statement, but at the same time keep in mind the curb appeal of your home. Make sure that when you are picking a style, you pick one that fits with the architectural style of your home overall. Get creative, but make sure the creativity matches the rest of your home!
