How Custom Built Front Doors are Increasing Kerb Appeal for Perth Homeowners
Announcement posted by Fremantle Door And Window 17 Aug 2016
Custom built front doors are increasing home values for many Perth homeowners due to enhanced kerb appeal.
Perth, WA, 17 August 2016 - For years, the power of custom built doors and windows to modernise a home quickly and cost-effectively has been one of the building industry’s best kept secrets. Custom built doors and windows can take an old home with a drab floor plan and brighten it up while giving it a modern look.
One of the biggest advantages of using custom built doors and windows to improve and modernise a home is that it doesn’t usually require any structural renovation on the home. Even those who decided to use bifold doors in an open floor plan aren’t doing much more than tearing down a couple of walls that don’t have any effect on structural elements of the home.
In all of this rush to modernisation, however, the power of one particular door to control the first impression of guests, neighbours, passers-by or potential renters or buyers has been somewhat overlooked and underrated. That door: the front door.
Why the Front Door is Important
When someone first walks into a house, they usually go through the front door. That makes the front door their first impression of the inside of the home. The front door tells people what to expect from the rest of the home. It sets the “bar” of expectations for the quality of the home.
When real estate agents are showing a home, they let the prospective buyer in through the front door. Often, if they are meeting the potential buyer for the first time, introductions and a brief meeting happen right outside of the front door.
The term “kerb appeal” basically measures how attractive a home is from the street. Once again, this is the first impression neighbours or prospective buyers get of a home. Kerb appeal is almost a pre-first impression or a “first first impression.” It is not as strong as walking through the front door, but it does begin the setting of the bar for expectations.
Custom Built Doors Add to Kerb Appeal
The front door is the most important door of a home because it is the linchpin for valuations and assessment of its worth. From valuers to real estate agents to homebuyers, everyone starts judging a home by its front door. That makes it important for a front door to send strong signals to all who enter a home.
A solid timber front door sends signals of prosperity. A natural, solid timber door with a dark stain allowing the grain to show through is reminiscent of a high-end door on an executive’s office.
A pivot door with a timber frame and large glass panel usually tells a guest that the home is going to be modern and cutting edge. French doors can be subtly adjusted to send many messages.
Ultimately, the front door sends an important message to all who enter a home. Those who take advantage of that fact can increase their rental and selling price on a home. Those who are staying around for a while can tell their guests they are doing well for themselves. All because of a front door.
