Your New Entry Door - 10 Steps on Making Your Selection (Part 2 of 2)

Here are the final 5 areas to consider when purchasing your new entry door:

6) Door Slab Color: This is your chance to have some fun! The door is one of the first impressions a visitor has of your home. What color best expresses your home’s personality?

7) Glass Style: If you prefer glass in your door, how will it be configured? Do you want a large piece of glass in the center or would you prefer simple sidelights instead? Would you like a transom? Do you want caning in your door? If so, what color?

8) Interior Trims and Moldings:  Consider what color you want the interior trims around the perimeter of the door. Many homeowners choose woodwork trim on the inside casing.

9) Exterior Cladding Color: This is the metal part that goes around the outside of your door. The color can be one that matches the door slab or something that is complimentary in color to the door slab.

10) Hardware Package: The hardware gives you another opportunity to express your personality. Do you want a door knob or a handle with a push down lever? Choose from many styles, including decorative, modern, or just something basic and functional?
