Your front door plays an important role in the security and aesthetic appeal of your property. Standard options are limiting, which is why a custom option is an excellent investment. You’ll have the freedom to fulfill all your design goals and can count on lasting use. If you’re deciding whether to install one, here are a few of the benefits to consider.  

Reasons to Put in a Custom Front Door

1. Durability

While all doors are designed to last, you want to be confident yours will hold up against the elements and burglars. Customizing yours allows you to add all the security features you want. Opt for durable steel or treated wood, and add deadbolts and tamper-proof locks. Also, add shatterproof glass windows with industry-grade hinges or hinge-bolts to reinforce security. Oak, walnut, mahogany, and maple are all excellent natural wood options that are durable and aesthetically unique.

2. Versatility

A custom door has endless design potential. You can make it subtle or the centerpiece of your home’s exterior. Install a heavy wood option with matching windows on each side, double-doors, and textured options. You can also add luxury fixtures to give it character. When choosing colors, consider your goals. A bright red, plum, or deep-stained wood door will complement a beige home exterior. A light blue or green option will accent neutral exteriors or natural stone to create a balanced exterior.

3. Efficiency

If your front door provides poor insulation, your home will be less comfortable, and your energy costs will rise. Heavy-duty custom options have excellent insulation, so you’ll protect your HVAC system from wear and lower your energy bills. Choose a steel or aluminum option for superior insulation.
