Do You Need a New Front Door?

Although some people may see a front door as little more than a way to get in or out of a home. However, as well as providing the entrance to your home, your front door also helps to create a first impression, hinting at what may lie within your house. Despite this, doors are often forgotten when it comes to the list of popular home improvements.

Security

As well as allowing you to enter your home with ease, your front door should also provide protection against intruders. If you don’t feel that your door is robust enough to withstand an attempt to break in, you should invest in a new door with strong build and a secure lock. Composite doors are extremely hard wearing as they are reinforced, with a solid construction.

If a new front door is high on your list of home improvements, you can contact KJN Home Improvements by calling 01329 237 715 for their Fareham base or 01489 664 455 for their Bishops Waltham office.

Energy efficiency

Your front door should keep your warm in the winter, so if you find that you get a lot of draughts and need to turn the heating up higher than you would hope, there is a good chance that you need a new front door. By investing in a new front door, you can stand to save energy and reduce your heating bills in the long run.

Maintenance

Whilst you could give an old door a face lift, the truth is that it will likely end up costing you much more in the long term. Old timber doors require a lot of maintenance, so whilst they can look fantastic, they can be very expensive. If you don’t spend the money on maintenance, they won’t look great for long.

Investing in a brand new composite door will help create a fantastic first impression – composite doors can be chosen in a wide variety of different colours and effects, from standard white, to brilliant reds or blues, or even woodgrain. Composite doors provide the aesthetics of a timber door, but with modern benefits.

Appearance

If you have a great looking front door, your home automatically looks a lot more inviting to visitors. Your front door will likely be the first thing someone notices when they arrive at your home, so it’s important to make a great first impression. It’s also worth considering that a front door can make a good impression on a potential buyer for your home and help to increase its value.
