When considering a new front door, one of the elements to think about is the material. A highly popular choice if you’re searching for a period look is timber, offering a timeless style for those who love traditional wooden doors. Here are some of the benefits of choosing a timber front door for your home.
Authentic Looks
If you need a front door which remains sympathetic to the heritage features of your property, timber is one of the best options. While many suppliers offer wood alternatives to emulate the look, nothing beats the real thing. If you’ve already got authentic timber windows installed at your property, you’ll want your front door to look just as good. Timber is chosen for period style properties, as well as adding character to modern homes. It’s the ideal way to give the front of your home some instant kerb appeal, with its craftsmanship shining through for all to see.
Quality
Timber is a material which oozes quality from top to bottom, often coming in unique grains so that your door is truly one of a kind. Some property owners may worry about the upkeep associated with wooden windows and doors, but modern timber has a fantastic quality. This means it’s highly durable and has usually been modified to ensure it can resist the ever-changing environmental conditions faced while naturally insulating your home. It’s also an incredibly strong material, perfect for achieving a secure front door.
Bespoke Designs
Timber’s versatility means it can be customised to create the look and feel you want for your front door. This includes various textured finishes, such as charred, smooth and brushed, as well as different colours. The appearance of timber means it goes well with both solid and glazed front door panels, as well as a range of furniture options to complement the overall design and functionality. So, whether you prefer natural-looking woods, light or dark tones, a coloured front door or intricate detailing, there are plenty of options available with bespoke timber door designs.
Sustainable Wooden Doors
Many of us are making more positive choices about our impact on the environment. Timber is a highly sustainable choice over other materials such as plastics. It’s a non-toxic material that helps to reduce the carbon footprint of your door installation. If the door is ever replaced in the future, the wood can be even be recycled or upcycled, so it never becomes waste like so many other types of window frames and doors do.
