Take a look at your front door. Is it rotted or almost in disrepair? Replacing it might be the best thing you can do, not only for safety but because it will add value to your home. A front door that doesn't function properly can give you drafts and be less energy-efficient creating large fuel bills and if the lock doesn't work properly it becomes very frustrating. If you're living in a house with an exterior door that's worn and old or perhaps your exterior glass door has gone foggy which you can't see through, this must make you very frustrated. The problem is; you either need to repair that door which may not be cost effective, so why not replace that door, it probably works out cheaper. Which do you do?
There are several things to consider before you decide to repair a door, replace door or refinish your door. Why does it need to be repaired or replaced? What may have caused the disrepair besides age that has made it look so worn out. If the front door or back door is made of wood it is probably not as safe as you think. The locking system may be substantial but if the door frame is rotten, why have a lock? The doors of today are far more advanced in design which makes it very difficult for the burglar to do his job. The way technology has progressed means the doors of yester years can be superseded and enhanced and not ruin the aspect of your home.
If the doors you have are painted and you've painted it several times, it may still be rotting. Again, sun exposure is the most likely culprit for this type of wear and tear. The wood itself also expands and contracts with exposure to heat and cold, rain and snow. Nonetheless, the sun is still the biggest reason for wear and tear on your door. If you paint over a peeling door it will make the door look nicer, true but it still won't correct the problem. Even with all this effort it will not affect the outcome only disguise it.
The direction your door faces is important. Stand in your door and take note of where the sun rises and sets. As the sun rises in the east and sets in the west you should be able to tell which direction your door faces. If the door faces south, west or southwest it gets extended exposure to the sun and will likely have a problem. The sun is at its most damaging in the late afternoon. If your door faces either west or southwest it will get the most exposure to the sun and therefore will have the most difficulty.
Replacing your door with a composite door or upvc door can make your house more secure, decrease your fuel bills, reduce annual maintenance and stop those drafts!
