Things to Consider When Designing an Exterior Door


Aesthetics

Many homes are designed around the front entry door because of its aesthetic charm. A front door is not only the main entrance to a home; it is an opportunity to display your client's unique personality and lifestyle. By suggesting small details that may have gone unnoticed by your customers, like kickplates or door knockers, you can change how their home is perceived, resulting in happier homeowners.




Glass Accents
If your homeowners want a more ornate look for their exterior door, you can add glass accents. We offer hundreds of Mastercraft® options, ranging from full length glass pieces to small privacy pieces which allow sunlight to stream into your customer's home. In addition to making their door look more appealing, adding glass accents also increases a home's value while sticking to a budget.


Security
As the contractor, your client looks to you to protect their home from potential break-inns with a combination of front door locks. Suggest some security glass options paired with a multipoint lock system to provide a double wall of protection. As the crime rate involving home break-ins rises, you need to reassure homeowners that forced entry will not be through their front door by designing them a secure exterior door.


Trends
Door trends often tell you what your customers want so keep an eye on them. Currently, trends show that homeowners want more energy efficient and maintenance free doors. At your next job involving exterior doors, suggest using one of the many ENERGY STAR® qualified Mastercraft® doors. These doors earn their ENERGY STAR® qualifications because they conserve energy, help the environment and are produced using up to 70% recycled material. By keeping up-to-date with the trends, you will create a door that exceeds your client's expectations.
