Installer and creator of custom built doors and windows reveals how they are transforming homes all over Perth.
Perth, WA, 07 April 2017 - Much to their surprise, homeowners in the Perth area are finding out that they can modernise their homes solely by installing custom built doors and windows. Many are surprised because home renovations usually cost a lot of money and involve a lot of structural work, but custom built doors and windows can be installed with no structural work and for less money than the cost of a full renovation.

How Custom Built Doors and Windows Modernise Homes

A majority of people live in homes that were built by volume builders off of plans that are used for many such homes. To increase profits, builders try to provide quality homes but try to spend as little money as possible doing so. This results in the same ordinary doors and windows that most people have.

The doors will usually be made of hollow, laminated timber unless they are made of aluminium and glass. Windows are usually made of aluminum and the cheapest glass the builder can find. Some homes have sliding patio doors, but they are usually made with the least expensive materials possible.

While these doors and windows are safe and reasonably weatherproof, they still let a lot of heat and cold in and out of a home. They also tend to look the same as everyone else’s doors and windows. If a home was built 20 years ago in a neighbourhood where most or all of the homes were built 20 years ago, it will look like everyone else’s: ordinary and in need of a modernisation or upgrade.

Michaela Ashord is the office administrator for Fremantle Door and Window, a creator and installer of custom build doors and windows. They offer a variety of modern and traditional door and window designs, custom built with solid timber and thick, weatherproof glass. According to Ms Ashord:

“A lot of people don’t realise it, but the doors and windows have a lot to say about how your home looks. Walls are just that: walls. They can’t really determine home design except by placement. But the doors and windows can totally change the design of a home without any expensive structural work.”

Ms Ashord continued: “The doors and windows determine whether your home looks dated and ordinary or fresh and modern. When you replace your ordinary aluminum windows with timber and glass designs or your patio door with timber and glass bifold doors, it totally changes how your home looks from the inside and outside. Bifold doors and an open floor plan can make your home look new on the inside.”

Ms Ashord concluded: “Custom built doors and windows are the most cost-effective and quickest way to modernise your home. Second place isn’t even close.”
