What is your Front Door saying about you Behind your Back?

The front door of any home has a remarkable ability to communicate on many different levels, and it's the first impression that anyone gets as they approach your property. For a prospective home buyer, it's crucial to understand how a front door can make someone jump to conclusions about the property itself and how it can significantly affect its overall value. 

Whether your home has a beautifully traditional Victorian front door, or a stylish aluminium front door, it will certainly have an impact on home-buying decisions of prospective buyers.

Human beings are naturally wired to make quick judgments, and the front door is the initial point of contact with a potential new home. When you approach a house and see a well-maintained, beautifully well-kept Victorian front door, you're immediately inclined to think positively about the property as a whole and imagine it to be a charming period property that’s warm and inviting. A bold red door may signify a sense of personality, whilst a blue door may indicate a more peaceful and serene interior. 

On the other hand, if you approach a property with a stylish aluminium front door, you might naturally assume a young professional couple reside there, and that they value a low-maintenance lifestyle, with no time for DIY on the weekend! 

And it's not just about aesthetics and materials, energy efficiency is an increasingly important consideration for any home buyer today. A front door that is well-insulated and properly sealed can significantly impact your energy bills and overall comfort. Whilst a dilapidated, ill-fitting door may produce drafts, and heat loss in the winter months.

Can Aluminium Front Doors Offer Additional Protection For Homes in London?

Image
 Aluminium is a very strong and durable metal, so it stands to reason that aluminium doors offer a high level of protection for your home. If we compare aluminium front doors with wooden front doors, aluminium doors are much more difficult to force open with brute force or with a crowbar and power tools.  Aluminium is therefore the ideal material with which to make High Security Front Doors from because it is resistant to impacts and is also resistant to corrosion, meaning they can last an incredibly long time before they need to be replaced. And the benefits of aluminium security doors don’t end there either; other metals such as steel and iron are much heavier than aluminium. That means there is much more versatility in design that can be achieved with aluminium.  If you visit a security door specialist in London such as J.K Security doors, you’ll soon discover that modern High Security Front Doors made with aluminium look truly beautiful. Aluminium as a material len...
