The Medeco 4 design offers a utility patent that provides protection against unauthorized key duplication. Your front door is for welcoming friends and family, but it’s also there to protect against intruders and the elements, so choose a front door that is strong, durable, and has a multi-lock system. I like to think ahead and make life easier for parents with young children who have to manoeuvre strollers or older people who use wheelchairs or walkers. That extra width will make tasks a lot easier. An additional 10 cm makes a huge difference. It also protects against any wind or water from getting in and is much easier to access when dealing with significant snow accumulations.Įntry doors must be at least 198 cm (6.4 ft), tall and 81 cm (32 inches), wide to comply with the building code, but I think a front door should be at least 91 cm (36 inches) wide. Most front doors open inward, protecting the hinges from being pulled off and intruders from gaining access. Today, popular colour choices are black, grey, and blue, but I love it when homeowners go for something bright! We’ve highlighted some brightly coloured front doors on our shows, like blue, yellow, and red. Many homeowners embrace colour when it comes to their front doors, and I commend them. Whether you choose wood, steel, or fibreglass, ensure the door is also fire-rated for safety. Glass doors are another option, but make sure the glass is tempered for safety and is insulated. They don’t rust like steel doors and are long-lasting with little maintenance. Steel doors don’t expand or contract, so you don’t have to worry about them being difficult to open or close at particular times of the year.įibreglass doors are another great option as they can often mimic wood without the higher price tag.
Steel doors are more durable and secure than wood and excellent for intense sunlight or rainy climates. If you choose a wooden door, you might have to refinish, stain, or paint it every few years. Your wooden door must be adequately cladded to ensure the door frame doesn’t rot away from exposure to the elements. However, like any wooden structure, they require regular maintenance and usually come with a premium price tag. Wooden doors are popular as they are strong, durable, and look great.
