If you are considering replacing your front door, the great news is that it can really improve the look of your property, as well as your living experience. It’s the first thing that guests see when they enter your home and most use it several times a day, so the quality and appearance of a new front door is worth considering carefully.
A good quality front door can also increase your home’s ‘kerb appeal’. Properties with kerb appeal are those properties that grab your attention as soon as you set eyes on them. While the saying that it takes buyers only a few seconds to decide if they will put in an offer on a property is a little exaggerated, first impressions still matter. So what material is best for your front door?
