Welcome to this Friday article. As we all wait in anticipation for the weekend you can distract yourself for about five minutes as you read today’s article on Entry Doors.
Most people don’t go out of their way to think about Entry Doors, yet everybody on the planet has a Front Door. Our Entry Door protects us by keeping out people we don’t want, and stopping weather from entering our home. It’s true we never think about the things that protect us because we’re too busy with other things. But I ask you now to really stop and think about your current front door in your home. Ask yourself one question: is it in good shape or not?
If it’s not, like mine was, it may be time to consider getting a new Front Door. Not only are new doors more beautiful, but they are much more functional too giving you more energy efficiency and better locks. You’ll be saving money off energy costs and be more protected. How cool is that?
The best part is that you can get an inswing or outswing Front Door nowadays depending on your needs. Why would you choose one over the other? The truth is that most entry doors are inswing door meaning they swing inside the home.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t benefits to choosing and outswing door. People who choose outswing doors may do so for several reasons. Outswing Entry Doors are great for areas with extreme weather. Our sister company Conservation Construction of Texas does this for areas near Houston with Hurricane threats. This way extreme winds and rain can’t blow any doors in they swing outward.
Outswing Front Doors are good for other reasons like saving space in a home. If you already have a cramped home you may choose a outswing door. These doors may offer wider views and better breezes because they can open wider to the outside than the inside. The final advantage is that an outswing door does protect better from the elements and may be even more energy efficient. Most people don’t know this but most commercial building doors swing out because the door must open in the direction of the flow of people exiting the building in an emergency.
Remember in Colorado though that we do get a lot of snow and sometimes it’s a huge advantage here to have inswing doors. You don’t want to be stuck inside because your door can’t swing outward. This is just something to consider when choosing a Front Door.
Whichever swing you choose for your door you’ll be getting a door that is extremely durable. Each and every Entry Door we make at Conservation Construction was made to last a lifetime.
