During the summer months, there is a lot to celebrate and look forward to. One of the few things to keep an eye out for among the many celebrations and holidays, is National Curb Appeal Month, which begins in August! This month is dedicated to focusing on the exterior appearance of your home to make any improvements or changes that will benefit your home not only in its look, but the value as well.

There are a lot of different aspects of your home you can change to improve the appearance and value, but one key focus that people will always notice with your home is your front door. In a recent survey, real estate agents were shown pictures of homes that had been modified with a Therma-Tru door and asked to appraise the value. By changing out the original front door, it was found that that this improvement could add up to 7% to the value of the home. With this in mind, we have 3 ways you can update the look of your front door.

Choose a Door with a Professional Prismaguard Finish

Whether you opt for a bold, vibrant color to make a statement or a subtle shade that complements your home’s exterior, the impact is immediate and significant. Make your selection using the Prismaguard Paint and Stain brochure. It will help with choosing a paint color that will bring new life into the entrance of your home, adding curb appeal and making a memorable first impression. If you’re aiming for a modern update or classic charm, the front door is an excellent canvas to express your style and elevate your home’s overall look.

Find Inspiration with Your Glass Style

A glass style can add a unique dimension to the look of your home. If you’re going for decorative glass panels that evoke a sense of timeless elegance or contemporary frosted glass for a sleek, modern look, the choice of glass can transform the entire layout of your door. With EnLiten Flush-Glazed Designs, the right glass style can complement the architectural style of your home, creating visual interest and increasing its overall appeal. Whether you choose between standard clear glass, Axis decorative glass, or Satin Etch privacy glass, all these styles help showcase your style. Additionally, varying levels of transparency can balance privacy with natural light, allowing you to customize the functionality of your entryway while making a striking visual statement. By carefully selecting the glass style for your front door, you can create a welcoming entrance that reflects your personal taste and enhances the overall charm of your home.

Select Hardware for Style and Security

Updating the hardware for your door can greatly improve both its functionality and appearance. Upgrading to modern hardware not only enhances the door’s aesthetic appeal but also ensures smoother operation and increased security. Whether you’re wanting sleek, contemporary handle sets or classic, ornate knobs that add to a traditional setting, the right handle sets can instantly elevate the entire entryway. Beyond style, updated hardware often incorporates advanced features such as smart locks or improved mechanisms that enhance ease of use and durability. Panolock Multi-Point Lock is the first and only multi-point lock that is adaptable with a wide variety of off-the-shelf hardware, allowing for quality security and ease to use for any entry door. By investing in quality hardware, you not only enhance the visual appeal of your door but also improve its overall functionality, contributing to a more secure and inviting home environment.
