REASONS TO REPLACE DOORS
If you’re thinking of replacing your door, first check the weatherstripping and door sweep. Overtime, both can wear and all you’ll need is to do a quick repair. However, if the door or frame are bowed or warped than the entire unit may need complete replacement. Furthermore, if the door was poorly installed from the beginning, it may need a new installation.
If your doors vary in type and color and generally don’t match your entire home, then the entire space loses cohesion. We see this mostly in older homes that have been through numerous remodeling projects. Some doors have become damaged and some no longer sit properly in their frames. Of course, minor damages can be easily corrected or repaired. However, replacing all doors give you a consistent look and theme and can improve the home’s visual flow.
CHOOSING TYPES OF DOORS
Each type of door offers its own benefits. Doors are an important part of your home because, mostly because you use them every day. A door can make your home welcoming, provide you with privacy, as well as make a lasting statement.
- Fiberglass (composite) doors – easy to maintain and offer durability, insulation and style and features versatility. Requires very little maintenance.
- Fire-resistant doors – offer extra time of protection in case of a house fire.
- Solid wood doors – secure and dent resistant and an excellent choice to stop sound transmission between rooms. They require regular maintenance to continue looking their best.
- Pocket doors – slide into walls rather than swing open and are an excellent choice for small spaces.
- Steel doors – secure and a popular choice for exterior doors, provide weather resistance and require regular maintenance to continue looking their best.
READY FOR NEW DOORS
Before you’re ready for your doors replacement project, keep these tips in mind:
- Research low-E glazing on window units, this is an add-on for additional security designed to resist break-ins. Decorative features with metal cost more, but may add extra security.
- High-quality fiberglass doors have a thermal break made from a vinyl strip or part of the wood frame. This separation helps prevent outside cold and heat from being conducted through the frame and frost from forming on the inside surface.
- Solid-core doors are much heavier and more expansive from hollow-core doors. Solid-core doors insulate against heat loss, muffles sound effectively, are better at withstanding extreme weather.
- In-swing doors tend to dominate the market and are easily available and provide good safety and security. On the other hand, consider installing out-swing doors when you need to save room on the inside. They can be more difficult to find and may cost slightly higher.
