Front Single Door Designs

Everyone wants their front way to make an impressive impact as it's the first impression your visitors will have of your beautiful home. With custom designed doors you have the freedom to create that distinctive image that fits your unique style. Doors are custom designed and custom built, available in wood, steel, or fiberglass.

There is a wide range of designs, wood types, stain colors, glass options, and hardware to choose from. Home entrance ways include single entry, double entry, entry doors with sidelights, and entry doors with transoms.

With custom built you are not limited to standard sizes and can pick from narrow, wide oversize, or tall doors. Doors in dramatic shapes and sizes, from arched to gothic to elliptical, you design the door that will enhance your homes existing architecture. Once you decide on the perfect door you can then add striking sidelights and transoms in stained or beveled glass that can complete the visual impact of your entryway with the added bonus of bringing natural light into your home.

Solid custom wood doors are hand crafted from the highest quality material available from mahogany, oak or cherry. Each door will have its own distinctive character and natural beauty.

Fiberglass exterior doors are becoming more popular in the exterior glass doors market. Fiberglass can be beautifully decorative while at the same time strong and durable, resisting dents and scratches. Glass styles include leaded glass, beveled glass, stained glass and architectural glass doors. With fiberglass you have greater options for picking unique designs such as beveled glass doors.

The entrance door of your home says a lot about the personality behind it. For instance, a large black door with no window panel could be edgy and unapproachable. Homes are where people must feel welcome and it all starts with the first feature they see.

The first thing you must look at when deciding on what door to install is the size of your house. If you have a single story house then it would not be the best idea to get double doors unless you have a very high ceiling. If the door is too high, it will make your house seem matchbox like. This also applies for doors that have sidelights and a transom. If the entrance area of your house is a protruding section with a gable, then double doors and doors with sidelights will work.

Arched double doors have been around for many years and are beautiful as any style. Double doors can be designed in a classic style. This works well for houses that have more of a stone textured or tiled house. Classic styled double doors also look great as a normal rectangular shape and decorated glass panels.

Try and match the theme of the door with the theme of the house. This way the style of the house is continuous and doesn't have a random break. If the bricks of your house haven't been plastered, a single door with a decorated transom will suit the theme. Arched doors have bricks arched around them but give a decorative appeal.

Modern houses are made up of the geometric and glass concept. Most modern houses are flat roofed with large windows. To continue the theme, glass doors will work for the entrance. It combines the geometric blends with the large concept idea. Glass gives the illusion of space.

Perhaps you are not comfortable having an entrance door made completely out of glass (excluding the frame). You could simply have a single door in grey, black or white with a small glass panel or a double door in the same range of colors.

Single solid doors with a bold color go well with protruding entrance sections and decorative gables. By having a decorative gable, you won't need a double door because it gives the wall and door the appearance of an entrance.

There are many different kinds of doors you can have installed that make the entrance to your house welcoming. It all depends on the theme you intend to incorporate and the varying range of colors.
