Many households take their exterior doors for granted. The entrance to our homes marks one of its most important parts. They add style to your dwelling, ensure that it is kept safe from intruders, and can be entered and exited safely. There is a lot that your doors at home should be able to offer you before they can be considered effective; so to help you maintain a more secure, safer and stylish home, here is what you should be able to expect from yours, brought to you from a leading door & window manufacturer right here in South Africa.
Consistent Safety
Your door, while adding protectiveness to your home, should also be able to do so safely. This means that it needs to be properly supported by the frame, should be made of rigid materials, and should be easy to operate. The door should also be properly treated to avoid things like splintering or even rot which may contribute to a less safe home environment.
Reliable Security
Security is the primary job of all exterior doors. They need to act as an effective deterrent for (above other things) intruders to your home who may wish your family and possessions harm. In order to do this they need to have a structural integrity that you can rely on, from materials to hinges, otherwise they offer little more than a false-sense of security. If your door shows signs of structural damage, or doesn’t offer the protective power that it should, you should look at having it replaced as soon as possible.
An Extensive Lifespan
You shouldn’t need to replace your door at regular intervals, and so it should be able to offer you an extensive lifespan. Under the right conditions, and when properly looked after, a sturdy front door can last for decades. So, when looking for the ideal one for your home, make sure that it is strong enough to last. To ensure that your door can do this, it will need regular maintenance and treatments as well, so don’t forget to do that.
A Sense of Style
It almost goes without saying since this is one of the most commonly considered attributes of a door when it is being purchased, but your door should add to the aesthetic quality of your home, as opposed to taking away from it. You can have both protection and style, all you need to do is select the right type of door.
