Hello everyone,
we are currently choosing front doors... Which material would you recommend for front doors? Aluminum is said to cause condensation and to conduct cold very well in winter, with wood I have some concerns that it might eventually weather, and plastic... I’m not sure, it doesn’t seem very appealing... What front doors do you have? And are you satisfied?
Best regards, Katha28

Today we received our new front door. It is made of oak wood with steel reinforcements, painted in anthracite. The price was an absolute bargain and not even close to being matched by any other door. The insulation values are supposed to be good as well.

Oh, I would really like that door too.
What kind of glass is in the side panel? It reflects so much.

The side panel only reflects due to the angle of the light; it is standard clear glass with triple glazing.

Hello,
I would always recommend wooden doors. They not only look great but are also extremely durable. And when it comes to your own home, it’s worth investing a bit more, right?

Additionally, wooden doors come in many interesting variations. Have you ever heard of "split doors"? They are divided into two parts, allowing you to open the top half for a chat while keeping the lower half closed to safely contain small children, dogs, etc. My daughter in Oldenburg once chose a nice split door from frovin.

If I ever need a new front door again, this would definitely be something I’d consider *laughs* But without a doubt, always a wooden door!

Best regards,
Adele

How much do your front doors, which you have just mentioned, cost?
