For those people who have saved, planned and spent endless days making choices for their custom home, spending a few hours picking the right mansion doors is time well used. Your door is an important part of the front of the home, and a focus of attention for visitors and guests every time they come to spend time.
Choosing mansion doors to accentuate, enhance or compliment the lines of the home, as well as give the impression you want is important. While a door may seem like a minor detail it is really the central part of the front of your home, so it needs to be special and perfectly match.
Material
When it comes to mansion doors, custom designed and custom crafted wood doors in mahogany, alder, knotty alder or teak are truly an investment in your home. With these wood varieties you will have beautiful grain in the door and, in the case of knotty alder, you will have the unique pattern of the knots in the wood adding to the visual appeal.
The wood types mentioned above are very durable, excellent in outdoor conditions, and will keep their beauty for decades to come with very minimal routine care.
Shape
The shape of the door, both as the actual door and frame as well as the door within the frame, need to be considered with regards to the shape and lines of the custom home.
However, with a many styles of mansion doors it is possible to combine lines and shapes to create just the look you want. For example, if you want a square frame to the door but like the look of double or single arched or round doors, a transom can be used to fill in between the frame and the door.
This creates a unique look with the rounded or arched mansion doors within a square frame. The additional light from the transom and the eye-catching appeal makes this a top consideration for many custom home owners.
The best companies making custom mansion doors can also incorporate sidelights, sometimes also printed as side lites, to give your door even more appeal. These can be mostly glass, mostly wood, or a combination of both. They can also be designed to open, providing a lovely breeze through the home whenever you want.
Taking the time to consider carefully what you want in mansion doors is something to put on your “to do” list. You want to make the right decision and find the perfect match for your new, beautiful home.
