An upgraded front door protects against harsh weather, burglars and can increase your home’s value. It also boosts your curb appeal and enhances the aesthetic of the entryway area.
Experienced exterior door installers can install a new front door to improve your home’s security and energy efficiency. They can even help reduce air leaks and drafts to cut energy costs.
Sidelights or Transoms
A front door with sidelights or transoms can completely transform your entryway and create a bold first impression. At Feldco, we offer steel front doors with sidelights that will withstand the elements of the Midwest and look beautiful for years to come.
Often, the main reason people choose front doors with sidelights or transoms is to increase visual aesthetics or ideas of natural light and a more inviting atmosphere in a home’s interior. This is a worthwhile goal but must be carefully balanced with the potential for security and privacy issues.
Sidelights are narrow windows on one or both sides of a doorway and can be glazed in a variety of ways. Transom windows are large, non-operating windows that sit above an entry or patio door or in combination with sidelights. Sun Mountain offers a vast selection of direct set sidelites and transom windows in a wide variety of glass styles to control privacy, allow for natural light and match unique designs.
Glass Inserts
One of the most popular upgrades for front doors is glass inserts. This option allows natural light to flood the entryway while still providing privacy. Homeowners can customize the glass to match their aesthetic preferences and energy efficiency goals. Glass inserts are also available in a variety of colors and designs to complement any exterior style.
Another option is impact glass, which can withstand severe weather conditions and reduce energy costs. It’s available for both sidelights and transoms and can be customized with a range of designs to complement any home style. This upgrade also provides added security by making it more difficult for intruders to break into a home through the door.
Other upgrades include wood front doors, which are classic and versatile. They can be painted or stained to match any facade and are also durable enough to resist dents and dings. In addition, homeowners can choose hybrid folding or multi-slide doors to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living.
Shutters
Adding shutters to your front door offers privacy, security and light control. Shutters are made from furniture-grade solid wood and can be matched to your home’s interior design. Sunburst’s Polywood shutters offer an incredible combination of beauty and sturdiness, resisting heat and moisture and featuring one of the industry’s strongest warranties.
Other window additions like sidelights and transoms help bring more natural light into foyer areas and add to home curb appeal. They also insulate homes, helping reduce energy bills.
Barn entry doors are inspired by rustic barns, bringing a natural aesthetic to homes in Eagle Mountain. Battened and ledged doors are made from robust boards arranged in a unique overlapping design, offering a classic look that complements home designs. Sliding glass doors blur the line between indoors and outdoors, brightening rooms and making them feel larger. They also improve ventilation, reducing food odors and air pollutants. Bi-fold doors are another popular option that transforms your entryway for unobstructed views and easy access to outdoor space.
Hardware
There is a wide range of options for front door hardware. Traditional entry doors can be reinforced for security and feature a variety of glass designs, including frosted, for privacy and natural light. Glass door designs are ideal for Eagle Mountain homes with patios or gardens, creating a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor spaces.
Modern entry doors are characterized by their minimalist design and use of contemporary materials like steel or fiberglass. They fit well in standard door frames and come in many styles, colors, finishes, and designs, allowing for customization.
Rustic farmhouse doors blend rustic elements with a modern aesthetic, complementing Craftsman-style homes. They typically have straight lines and a handcrafted look, making them an ideal choice for Eagle Mountain homeowners who enjoy a warm, inviting ambiance and the beauty of natural materials. They often include features like ledge and dentil shelves, as well as unique hardware. Wooden entry doors add a classic, natural appeal to Eagle Mountain homes and are available in a variety of textures and finishes.
