You know your front door isn’t perfect, but you’ve been delaying getting it replaced. How do you know when it’s the right time to make the change? Here’s some information to help you decide.
There’s a noticeable temperature difference by your door
Check to see if there’s space between your door edges and the frame. If you can see light coming through it means the seal is poor. Another trick to check your seal is to slide a dollar bill between the door and frame, either at the top or bottom. If the bill slides through, that means your heating and cooling is doing the same, which affects the energy efficiency of your home.
Your Door Is Made With Single-Pane Glass
Single pane glass allows high levels of hot and cold air to pass through the window which contributes to an increase in your heating and cooling bills. An upgrade to double paned glass is a more energy-efficient option that will help you save money.
Your Entryway Is Dark
If your door is solid without glass, it may make your foyer or entryway dark and uninviting. By adding a door with windows, which also could include a sidelite, you can easily brighten up your space with natural sunlight.
You Feel Unsecure
If your door is old and you are afraid it could easily be compromised by a person attempting to break into your home, an upgrade to a more secure and durable door can give you invaluable peace of mind.
