For most people, their home is far more than just somewhere to live. Often, it is the biggest asset they own. Lots of families use the equity that is in their homes to fund important life events. For example, paying for their children’s university education or downsizing and using the income generated to pay for home care in their later years.
So, homeowners work hard to look after their properties. They are always seeking out ways to improve their homes. But, one area that is often overlooked is the exterior, in particular, the front of the property. As you will see this is a shame because the simple act of upgrading your entranceway brings many benefits.
An impressive entranceway adds value to your property
Installing a set of luxury doors from Pirnar will usually add value to your home. Numerous studies have shown that a home that looks good, including the exterior, sells for more. How much more is hard to pin down, but it runs into thousands. That is why most estate agents recommend that you update your door and repaint the exterior before listing your property. Failing that, you need to spend a day or two stripping and rubbing down your old door, so it can be re-painted. It needs to look like it is new and appeal to the tastes of modern home buyers.
A good entrance door will make it easier to sell your property
First impressions count. The average buyer will decide within about 10 seconds of arriving at your property whether they are interested or not. A shoddy door and untidy front garden are enough to put a lot of buyers off completely.
The right front door will make your home more secure
A good quality entry door plays an important role in making your home more secure. Surprisingly, around 30% of burglars still enter properties through the front. They can easily kick in the panel of a flimsy street door. If the lock is weak, they can easily break it. Good quality modern doors are typically fitted with much stronger locks. Many of them have locks that engage at the top, bottom, and middle of the door with just the turn of a key.
A modern door helps to make life easier
Doors that are made from good quality materials are far easier to keep clean. They are also far less likely to warp or drop. So, you will not find yourself having to take the door off to rub a bit off the edges or reset it.
Buying a door that has a big letterbox can also help to make life a little easier. Doing this means that the postie or courier will be able to fit more of the packages you order through it. That means fewer trips to courier depots and the Post Office to pick up items that arrived when you were not at home.

Now, all you need to do is to select the right entrance door for you. For more guidance on how to choose the right door for your home, check out this simple, yet in-depth, article.
