Your Complete Guide to Buying Hormann Entrance Doors

Are you thinking of buying a new door for the new year? Now could be an excellent time, with seasonal and new year offers available on many products. If you’re stuck and don’t know how to get started, considering Hormann entrance doors for your property could be the ideal first step. This will give you a wide range of beautiful, high quality doors to choose from so you don’t need to search for your perfect door in vain. There will be many things you’ll be considering when choosing an entrance door, including the security, appearance, finish and functionality of the door. This guide will help you begin to refine your choices so you can get the perfect new entrance door from Hormann.

These are the key things you’ll need to think about when buying a new entrance door:

  1. Aesthetics. The look of your front door is very important. It’s the first thing people see, and don’t forget you’ll be coming home to your front door every single day. If you’re buying a new front door and its appearance doesn’t bring you joy, then you’ve gone wrong somewhere. Your own aesthetic preferences can easily be met by Hormann, with a vast variety of entrance doors in their range. You can choose from doors with panels, or modern doors with no patterning, or doors with a range of other panels and patterns to suit you.
  2. Existing doors and windows. If you have a new garage door, or if your garage door is quite distinctive, you might want to think about matching it to your front door. Hormann are also well known garage door suppliers so you can easily match doors, as well as door furniture, if desired. The same goes for windows and other doors, such as side doors to your home, or personnel doors to your garage. You’ll want to make sure that all doors and windows follow the same colour scheme and look unified to create a beautiful property exterior aesthetic.
  3. Door furniture. This one’s important for the look of the door. The door handle, the knocker and any other furniture you choose to have (such as a letterbox) will very much dictate the appearance. Big, bold door furniture is very much in fashion and you can get many of these options with a Hormann entrance door. However if you prefer something more delicate, there are options for this too. You also have to consider the finish and whether you want something matte and modern, or shiny and polished. This simply comes down to personal preference.
  4. Glazing. You’ll need to select the glazing options that suit you. Hormann have many choices, from semi circular glazing, to individual square panels, to long almost full length glazing that runs down the side or centre of the door. If you want more natural light in your hallway, glazing in your entrance door is the way to go. If you live in a very busy area you might choose to have a solid door without any glazing at all.
