There’s plenty to consider when choosing doors, and the decisions need to be made pretty early on in your project. While they might not get installed until very near the end of the build (largely to protect them from damage), the structural openings, thresholds and other critical details must be finalised well in advance to ensure that everything works as intended.
The front door goes in
If you’ve been following our Education House coverage, you’ll know we ran a reader vote to choose the colour of our Kloeber FunkyFront timber entrance door. We wanted something with a bit of pop and wow-factor, and we’ve certainly got that with the winning bright orange hue. In fact, it’s already generating a bit of a stir amongst our neighbours! The final design includes a glazed toplight in the frame and a Hamburg 4 door panel, which features a central glazed column. This adds interest and continues the theme of maximising natural brightness throughout.
