How Entry Doors Can Enhance Your Home

Entry doors are a vital part of your home. They add to the curb appeal, increase the value of your home, and provide security.

The right front doors offer a balance of aesthetics, durability and energy efficiency. New replacement doors can dramatically improve your Utah home’s overall performance and comfort.

French doors

The right exterior doors can add beauty, function and value to a home. They can also blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living spaces, a feature prized by homeowners in the Intermountain West. French doors are the perfect way to achieve this, with their large glass panels allowing light and inspiring views to flood interior rooms.

Whether they are used for patio access or as an accent to an interior space, these double doors are a popular choice for Salt Lake City homeowners who want to bring a touch of stylish glamour to their home. They are available in a wide range of sizes and can be customized with sidelights or transoms.

When choosing the right french doors for your home, it is important to take careful measurements. The installers at Burner Well will work with you to determine the best size and style for your home, then complete the installation.

Awning windows

The Salt Lake City area is known for its unique combination of urban living and stunning natural landscapes. Consequently, homeowners look for windows that offer a blend of style and practicality to complement their property.

Awning windows are a popular choice, especially in homes in Utah, as they are able to promote ventilation and light while remaining secure. They are also a perfect solution for areas that require increased air flow, such as bathrooms and kitchens.

Because they hinge from the top and open at the bottom, they can be opened even during rain. This makes them ideal for rooms where it may be difficult to install sliding or hung windows without having to climb on a ladder. The windows are also more difficult for burglars to break into, which provides peace of mind in your home or commercial space. Additionally, the windows are crafted from steel for a modern look and added strength. They are available in a variety of colors to match your home or business.

Sliding doors

The front door is one of the first features a passerby sees, and it can make or break your curb appeal. An upgraded exterior door selection can significantly increase your home’s beauty, safety and value. In addition, real estate agents report that you can often recover the cost of an improved door when you sell your property.

A popular choice for homes in Salt Lake City, sliding doors seamlessly connect your indoor space to the stunning Intermountain West landscapes. Also known as lift and slide doors, these window wall systems tuck away when not in use, leaving you with a seamless transition between your interior and exterior living spaces.

Proper installation is important to the function and beauty of your doors, and can prevent air infiltration that increases energy costs. To ensure a weatherproof seal, we measure precisely and follow a detailed step-by-step process to install your entry doors. This eliminates gaps, weak seals and moisture infiltration that can lead to mold, mildew and rot in your doorframe and walls.

Sidelights or transoms

Sidelights and transoms enhance the curb appeal of your home’s entryway. They provide a sense of light and brightness to the space while also drawing attention to other decorative features inside your door. Sidelights are narrow windows, usually non-operable, that flank a doorway. They are used to gain more light into an entrance way or to accentuate vaulted ceilings.

If you’re planning to add sidelights or a transom to your front door, it’s important to think through the construction of the doorway before making any changes. This is because if the entrance way needs to be widened, it could require a structural engineer’s opinion.

When installing a new door with sidelights or a transom, it’s best to use a steel option to prevent drafts and keep the glass clean. This will prevent the door from becoming a drafty, uncomfortable place to enter and leave your home. Steel doors are energy efficient and have a high level of security to protect your home and its inhabitants.
