Custom Built Doors and Windows Help Homeowners Save on Home Renovations

Custom built doors and windows are the fastest, most cost-efficient way to modernise a home, according to a Perth builder.
Perth, WA, December 09, 2016 - Homeowners in Perth and across Australia have a propensity for home renovations. The proliferation and popularity of home renovation shows on television would indicate that Australians love home renovation and that nearly everybody renovates their home at least once.

Due to an uncertain property market, many Australians want nicer homes but don’t want to “buy up” to have one. Instead, they modernise the homes they currently live in through renovations. Unfortunately, many renovations are intrusive into the homeowner’s lifestyle, especially if it is a major renovation. It is difficult to live in the space being renovated if there is a lot of work being done.

Luckily for Perth area homeowners, there is a solution that modernises homes while saving time, money and inconvenience: custom built doors and windows.
 
How Custom Built Doors and Windows Modernise Homes

When a house begins to “look old,” it is often the doors and the windows that are causing most of the visual discomfort. Most home builders use aluminium windows and doors, except for the front entry door, which is usually a hollow door made with a frame and timber laminate. As the home ages, “standard” doors and windows tend to age badly.

Aluminium doors and windows can warp and lose the shiny appearance they have when they are new. The timber laminate entry door can also begin to look old and dated. They can make any effort to renovate one’s home futile. Ironically enough, it is the doors and windows that are making the home look dated.

The walls of any home can usually be modernised simply by painting them in a bright, contemporary colour. But it is the doors and windows that most determine how a home looks. Custom built timber doors and windows are an immense improvement over “mass build” doors and windows.

Timber frames are versatile because they can be finished with paint, stain or a clear finish. On the exterior, such as entry doors, sliding doors, bifold doors, servery windows, French windows, casement windows, bifold windows or sliding windows, timber integrates a home with nature.

On the interior, bifold doors can be used to convert a drab home into an open floor plan, using bifold doors to provide one large common room in the open position or separate rooms when they are closed. Open floor plans let a lot of light into a home, making it look more spacious and modern.
