What Qualities Does Your Dallas Door Installation Need to Have?

You may have already checked out a few home improvement stores or browsed around online in an effort to find the right choice for door installation. Dallas residents are spoiled for choice, but that can sometimes make the selection process feel overwhelming. There are so many different types of products available, and you need to find the right door that perfectly suits your household's unique needs and priorities.

Maybe your first priority by far is security, and you really don't care that much about how your entryway looks and functions as long as it goes the extra mile to keep your family safe. Maybe boosting curb appeal is the whole reason you decided on a Dallas door installation project, and it's crucial that you find the ideal entryway to enhance and complement your home's design. More likely, you're looking for something that is going to give you security, durability, efficiency, and appeal in one all-around great package. Here are the key qualities to consider while you're thinking about what will work best for your home.

Safe And Secure

While security is likely not a big concern for an interior door installation, Dallas residents need strong, secure exterior doors so they can get the peace of mind that comes with knowing their household and possessions are safely under lock and key. If you are focused on finding an exterior entryway that will give you security against home intruders and also go the distance to keep out nasty pest infestations, consider steel as an option for your new door installation. Steel doors are impressively strong, energy efficient, and durable, so they are capable of withstanding a barrage of damaging factors and remain in solid shape. You don't have to sacrifice appearance either, since steel comes in a wide variety of styles and it's easily painted any color you like to perfectly complement the rest of your house. The only potential downside with steel is that it can suffer from deterioration such as rust, but you can easily avoid that by applying a coat of anti-rust paint every few years.

Energy Efficient

If you dread opening your utility bill because it seems like your energy usage charges have reached a new high every month, then new door installation may be exactly what you need. There are a lot of potential factors in a home that can cause energy loss, so it's not necessarily your old entryway—but if the seal on your entry is compromised and you've noticed issues like cold drafts coming from it, or visible light around the edges of the entry, that's definitely a problem that is needlessly raising the amount you have to pay on your energy bills.

We are blessed with hot summers and mild winters in the Dallas part of North Texas, but that doesn't mean energy efficiency doesn't matter for homes here. It all comes down to heat transfer, the natural process in which thermal energy will attempt to move from a warm area to a colder area. Heat transfer compromises the work your HVAC system does by changing the temperature inside your house so your air conditioner or furnace has to operate for longer and use more fuel, driving up your energy costs.

The option you choose for Dallas door installation must be able to prevent heat transfer if you want to keep your energy costs low and avoid paying more than necessary on your monthly bill. Wood is one possibility with generally low thermal conductivity and a higher R-value than some options, but an insulated fiberglass door will offer superior energy efficiency over wood. That being said, the least efficient option is going to be any type of material combined with a window. Glass is a really poor insulator, so even double-pane windows will cause more energy loss than an entryway without a window.

Durable And Long-Lasting

You want your interior entries to be great quality so you can use them for years to come, but they don't have to be anywhere near as durable as your exterior entries. The outside of your house is constantly being battered by everything from bad weather and excess moisture to wildlife attacks and pest infestations making maintenance necessary. If longevity, durability, and value are your main priorities for Dallas door installation, fiberglass is a great choice for a reasonably priced, durable material. It's strong enough to resist the typical level of abuse it will have to endure at a residential property and is also resistant to corrosion and water damage.

Attractive

If you're in need of interior Dallas door installation, you might be focused on finding something that matches the rest of your doors, but it's not always necessary (or possible) to get an exact match, and that's okay. A similar style in the same color will not stick out as much as you might think, and you may even want to consider a contrasting style that will denote a different purpose for the room it leads to.

A pair of French doors might be the perfect solution if you have an underutilized area such as a dining room or study that you'd like to be able to close off now and then while still benefiting from natural light. French doors with glass inserts are a great option for adding both aesthetic appeal and light to the rooms that they’re installed.
