The first thing people see when they come to your home is the door. It’s up to you to decide how welcoming (or forbidding) you want it to appear. There are all kinds of design options (colours, windows, knobs, etc.), as well as different types of doors. But if you think that allowing access to your home is a door’s only function, think again. Doors help keep the weather out, and keep the heat in. They also act as a barrier against fire, as well as unwanted intruders. They are a pretty important part of your home. When selecting a door for your home, you not only want to consider its appearance, but also the security provided, and the energy efficiency. A regular hinged door is definitely the most common type of door you’ll see, and can be used as an interior or exterior door. These can be very inexpensive, simple to install, can be made of virtually any material, and can be as simple or as impressive as you want.
