Style of Door

Once you have decided where your door is going to be, and what type of door you are looking for you can narrow down the style of door that you want.  Door style depends on functionality and material so you can make the best choice for your home:

Dutch:  Dutch doors are divided horizontally so that you can open the top half or the bottom half without opening the entire door. These types of doors are less common in North Town but can give your home a simple charm that’s unique on your block.

French:  Also known as casement doors, these are typically found inside the house or used as patio doors.  French doors are typically comprised of two doors on hinges so you can open both doors at the same time.  These also can upgrade your home and is a great option for separating two rooms in your home.

Flush:  Used inside the home for bedrooms and bathrooms, these doors are typically solid doors with no special characterization or decoration.  They are just great separate your areas in the house and can be stained or painted any style you want.

Fiberglass Doors:  Commonly found in entryways, fiberglass doors give you the same benefit of steel doors, they are just not as tough.  One of the other advantage to fiberglass doors is that they can be made to have different patterns, and grains on them so they can mimic the look of a wood door.

Wood Doors:  These doors are widely used, especially for entry doors and interior doors.  One of the great advantages of using wood as a material for your door is that there are so many custom options available on how it looks and the different style it can be crafted to be used.

Steel Doors:  These doors are sturdy and have a great advantage because they are so low maintenance.  Most metal doors are truly affordable and provide a great seal from the weather outside.  One of the other advantages of metal doors is they won’t wear or get damaged as other materials from the weather outside.
