Creator of custom built doors and windows reveals why so many Perth area homeowners are using them to improve their homes.
Perth, WA, January 16, 2017 - A rising trend for homeowners who want to improve their homes is to replace their standard doors and windows with custom built doors and windows. Many Perth area homeowners are doing this because they are consistently amazed at how much improving the doors and windows can update a home.

How Custom Built Doors and Windows can Modernise a Home

Standard homes built off of builders’ standard plans are decent places to live. When they are new, they look great and the buyers are excited to move in. However, builders need to turn a profit and they tend to do so by lowering their costs of materials and labour as much as possible. The doors and windows are often a place where they can save a lot of money but still put out that looks good, at least initially.

As time goes on and the homeowner has lived in a standard home for a few years, they begin to notice some of the “little things” going wrong. The fit of a sliding door or window in its track may start to feel “funny.” They may notice light coming in through gaps under doors or through the outer parts of their windows. Sometimes the doors and windows don’t open and close as easily as they used to.

Michaela Ashford is the office administrator for Fremantle Door and Window, a business that creates custom built doors and windows for Perth area homeowners. According to Ms Ashford:

“Ultimately, it’s not the walls that make a modern home modern: it’s everything else. Your doors and windows are a large part of your home’s makeup. The fit and finish of your doors and windows will determine a large part of its appearance. But it’s when you add the element of style that the true magic happens.”

Ms Ashford continued: “Think of what happens when you replace a standard front entry door with a solid timber front door or a sleek pivot door. Or you replace an entire wall facing your pool with a series of bifold doors. Or servery windows in your kitchen. There are so many great design improvements that can be made in your home just by installing custom built doors or windows.”

Bifold Doors Can Even Change a Floor Plan

Bifold doors are being used by more and more Perth area homeowners to provide an open floor plan with little to no effect on the home’s foundation. Inner walls of common living areas are knocked out and replaced with bifold doors. This gives homeowners the option to turn their kitchen, dining area, family room and living room into one large open room by opening the bifold doors. When closed they allow light to permeate the home, making the home look larger.

Ms Ashford concluded: “Of all the ways you can modernise your home, custom built doors and windows create the most change for the lowest cost.”
