What could be more classic than an exterior slab door at your entranceway? If your taste runs to the traditional or you value your privacy and prefer not to have glass in your front door, a slab entry door may be the best choice for you.
Your front door is the first thing that visitors to your home see and you’ll want it to make a strong statement about your home. Choosing a quality door that enhances your home’s appearance is an important consideration. Not only do you want to make your visitors feel welcome, but you need to find a door that is durable enough to provide security for you and your family.
A Slab Door Does Not Equal Plain
Slab doors are definitely not boring in design. They are available with a number of patterns etched directly into the door itself to create interest. If you live in a home that has an elegant or classic look, you don’t necessarily want to add a lot of “busy-ness” at the front door by choosing a door with a lot of glass or a very ornate design. A fiberglass slab door can make a very strong statement by keeping things simple.
What type of home do you live in? If it is one of the following styles, you may want to consider a slab entry door style to complement its design:
- Colonial
- Cottage
- Ranch
- Split Level
- Tudor
- Victorian
Want to Add Some Glass? Consider a Sidelight
If you have the space in your entranceway and would like to add some glass to lighten up the foyer in your home, consider adding a sidelight or two alongside your slab door. These glass panels can be as plain or as ornate as you wish and the glass comes in individual panes.
You may need to modify your doorframe if you want to have a new sidelight installed. They do create a very elegant look and you’ll want to work with a professional to make sure that you get the correct measurements and the right effect for your home.
