Discover the benefits of having a wooden front door.
The front door of your home is one of the first chances you have to make an impression. With that in mind, you want a front door with impact. While a painted door is excellent for some, a wooden door might be just the look you need. A wooden front door has a significant amount of character that many find very charming, but there are more benefits to wood than just its looks. Wood is the perfect way to add charm throughout your home and business in any fashion, why not extend that to your front door?
The Benefits
If you’ve been considering your options for your front door, take a moment to consider the beauty and uniqueness of natural wood. The wood grain and stain options can give you endless combinations for a look that is unique to you and your home. These doors are also heavy, durable, and create a natural level of insulation that other options may not offer.
When you are deciding on your wooden door you will have a wide variety of choices, not only will you want to look at the grain on the wood, but you’ll want to look at different types of wood before you make your choice. Different types of wood may offer various benefits and styles. Bamboo, for instance, would be a sustainable option and one that will have a very sleek and modern appearance. Meanwhile, something like oak will be very tough and traditional, and cedar and knotty pine will be more rustic. In short, there is a type of wood for every style.
Considerations
Before you commit to a wooden door there are a few things you should keep in mind; wood requires slightly more maintenance than some other types of doors. While all entries will require cleaning and care, wood will need a little more. Immediately after installation, your wooden door will need to be fully sealed. This step will prevent any water absorption and keep your door stunning for many years to come. This seal will need to be reapplied every few years to ensure that your door stays in best condition.
