Our door is the welcoming party of our homes and we can’t stress this enough, especially those among us who love hosting dinners and entertaining guests. Here’s a way to set your entry door for it to be truly “inviting”: You can match the architectural design of your home to our perfect entry doors in St. Louis MO. Here are a few suggestions:
Mid-Century Modern
These types of houses are created out of fresh and bold ideas, radical mentality, and with flair of dynamic thinking. A mid-century modern is known for leveled planes, big glass windows, and open space. Its design gives highlight on the simplistic approach with a touch of nature.
A sliding patio door would perfectly complement this type of home. With its simple yet stylish structure, it will greatly complement a mid-century modern home’s vibrant stance. Plus, the patented Fibrex® material used in Andersen® br and of doors features baked-on color, which will not chip or fade over time. Now you have a door that is not only attractive but functional and energy-efficient as well.
Craftsman
From the arts and crafts movement, bungalow and craftsman homes give emphasis on using natural materials – brick, wood, and stone. Low-pitched roofs and wide front porches are typical, and the interiors expose big fireplaces and built-in furniture.
We recommend French doors for a craftsman type of homes as this option offers a sophisticated, elegant look. The aesthetic appeal of Andersen French doors will bring some old world charm and grace into your home. Additionally, we use top quality materials, advanced frames and glass packages for our doors, making them easier to maintain.
However a good, sturdy door doesn’t mean it’s maintenance-free. You still need to do regular checking and cleaning to ensure that you maximize the use of your doors. Proper maintenance includes checking your hinges and lockset, and doing home repairs if necessary. Andersen doors, if regularly wiped clean of grime and dirt, will appear in excellent look for years to come.
Contemporary
Some mistake contemporary and modern architecture to be the same. However, they vary in design and form. Contemporary homes refer to building styles of today, giving emphasis on ecological materials, energy efficiency, and plenty of natural light. The great thing about contemporary type of homes is that both our French and sliding patio doors make a good match.
If you currently have this home type, you can employ several approaches to improve the exterior of your home. One of the fairly low-cost options is to install new St. Louis French doors or sliding patio doors to match your home’s design and give your property additional curb appeal.
What’s great nowadays is that you have plenty of references in magazines and online to give you design ideas. We at Renewal by Andersen® of St. Louis can also help you decide what type of door to install.
