We’ve seen more and more stunning, one-off architect designed builds and renovations cropping up across Derby and Derbyshire.
Homeowners are looking for modern architecture and designs that create a grand entrance to their projects that set the tone for the wonders inside. Entrance doors are such a vital part of the overall design and are an important decision for homeowners.
It’s all about wide open spaces, clever use of aluminium and selecting crisp colours.
That’s why aluminium Designer Doors are the perfect choice.
Striking modern style
For one-off architect designed builds and modern renovations, entrance doors need to ooze contemporary style.
There are 25 designs to choose from in the Designer Doors collection, with the range including Modern, Traditional, Vintage and Cottage styles.
For projects such as these, we recommend doors from the Modern range. Whether your customer would benefit best from a solid door or a door with a glazed panel depends on the individual project. For example, if the project features widespan glazed doors at the back of the open plan house which can be seen from the front door, it’s best not to have a glazed panel as this would result in people being able to see right through the property and into the garden.
Different designs across the range include clean chrome horizontal or vertical lines, horizontal or vertical panels, square and rectangular glazed boxes, and striking glazed segments. These are popular choices among modern projects, coupled with a long bar handle.
Contemporary colours
A lot of modern projects will create a feature from glazing across the full property, such as aluminium bifold doors, aluminium sliding doors and aluminium windows, which makes aluminium entrance doors a perfect match.
You can either recommend that your customer opts for the same colour as the windows and door frame colours, such as Anthracite Grey or Black, or make a bold contrast, with colours like Ocean Blue or Basque Red. Choosing a metallic, tactile Sensations finish will create a glittering entrance that’s a real design feature. This is an especially impressive choice when taking into consideration the position of the front door.
For example, if the entrance is north-facing, and only gets direct sunlight in the afternoon and evening, the door will be seen in artificial light, which makes the Sensations finish the best option. Whereas, if the entrance is south-facing and benefits from sunlight all day, it will look light and bright no matter the finish.
Make a grand entrance
Projects such as these are looking to create heaps of space or make the most of the space they have, opting for generous hallways. For this, they need entrance doors that offer wider openings.
Aluminium Designer Doors from Frame Fast can be up to 1200mm wide and 2400mm high, creating a grand entrance like never before, leading into open plan, light and bright hallways.
It also creates a standout feature, giving the front of the property a focal point, wowing passers-by and guests.
Substance that matches the style
Homeowners aren’t only thinking about aesthetics when they are undergoing a selfbuild or modern renovation, they want to make sure they are creating a high-performance, long-lasting property.
Energy efficiency is on more people’s minds now, and aluminium designer doors meet the needs of eco-conscious homeowners by offering U-Values as low as 0.9 W/m²K, thermal break technology, an integrated weather bar and triple glazing. This could ultimately help homeowners save money on their heating bills.
After investing so much into their project, homeowners will want to ensure that it is securely protected. Designer Doors boast PAS 24:2016 accreditation, 3 adjustable hinges that are resistant to 80kg of pressure per hinge and a secure 10-point locking system.
Aluminium is a top choice for durability, as the inherently robust material does not warp, twist, rot or fade, leaving projects with a door that will stand the test of time, making homeowners’ investments worthwhile.
