Announcement posted by Fremantle Door And Window 22 Jun 2016
Creator of custom built doors and windows in Perth reveals why so many Australians are replacing old diamond grille doors with new, custom built doors.
Perth, WA, 22 June 2016 - The old diamond grille door has been a mainstay in Australia since the 1960’s. But are diamond grille doors going the way of the dinosaurs? According to one creator of custom built doors in Perth, the answer is “yes.” Tish Thompson of the Fremantle Door & Window Company, a local creator of windows and doors, has worked with numerous customers who have replaced diamond grille doors in the last few years.
According to Ms Thompson: “Diamond grille doors used to be the main security measure taken by many homeowners in the 1960’s and 70’s. They are a great way to keep people out of your home. Unfortunately, they are ugly and can make your home look too much like a prison. They are also a way of dating a home. Most people see a diamond grille door and think the home was built forty or fifty years ago.”
In the last fifty years, home security systems have become much less expensive and more reliable than they once were. In addition, people now know more about how to make their home less desirable for thieves. Fundamentals such as keeping the areas around doors and windows clear and well-lit can make a home much less desirable for thieves.
In addition, modern materials have made custom doors and windows much more secure than they once were. At Fremantle Door & Window, they use exterior grade, solid timber and special, weatherproof, heavy-duty glass that is manufactured specially for them in WA. While a bifold door, a sliding door or a solid timber door may not be quite as secure as a diamond grille door, they are secure enough to keep thieves away.
Modern Aesthetics
According to Ms Thompson, installing custom built doors and windows is the most cost-efficient way to modernise a home:
“Contemporary homes have an open, spacious look to them. One of the reasons custom built doors and windows can modernise a home is because they let a lot more light into the home. They look more modern from the outside and from the inside. The extra light helps give you the illusion of more living space in your home. The views from sliding doors or bifold doors also help integrate your home into its surroundings.”
Replacing old, unsightly doors with new, custom built doors and windows is an inexpensive way to modernise because you don’t have to make any structural changes on your building. You aren’t paying for new walls or new structural beams; all you are paying for is new doors and windows.
Ms Thompson concludes: “Most of our customers are pleasantly surprised how much the simple addition of new doors and windows can change the appearance of their homes for the better. We have 100% satisfied customers. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
