Here are 5 benefits of installing a single front door

Are you thinking of removing your double front door and adding a single front door to your home? Adding a single front door can cost as little as $150 to as much as $6,000, according to U.S. News and World Report. How your house looks is important, and you must not neglect the front door! Installing a single-entry door to your home creates curb appeal, creates energy efficiency, and eliminates the need for a wider opening. Here are five reasons adding a single front door is the best choice for your home.

Step by Step Process Guide to Window Replacement

1. Curb Appeal


Entry door options such as single doors give your home excellent curb appeal and work with any architecture. Whether your home is a small bungalow, or a large modern home, a single front door works.


Are you thinking about selling your home? 99 percent respondents to a National Association of Realtors said curb appeal is essential to attracting a buyer. Adding a single entry door to your home will make it sell faster and for more money.



2. Energy Efficient


A single entry door means your home will be more efficient. Two front doors mean more air will escape your home, costing you higher energy bills. Think about the constant caulking and door stops you must add to keep the cold or warm air out!



You can get the latest energy-efficient new door rather than relying on an old door for your home.



3. No Wide Opening


Adding double doors to your home means you must create a wider opening. You must risk the home's structural integrity when you add double doors as an entry door option.


Avoid calling in a construction crew, which can add thousands to your budget.

Single types of doors allow you to keep the same opening.



4. Cost


First and foremost, single types of doors for your home are just that - one door! You don't have to buy two doors.


If one door becomes damaged, warped, or broken, you may have to replace both with two new ones simultaneously. As a homeowner, you want to keep costs low.



5. Security


A single front door is more secure. If a burglar can't break into one of your double doors, they might try to break into the second door.

Why give them the option?


Moreover, an iron or steel door for your home means burglars will struggle to break in.

Give yourself peace of mind with a single door.
