A front door is more than just an entryway. It is what shapes an outside viewer's impression of your home and, more importantly, who you are. When it comes to luxury front doors in particular, different models can say quite a lot through their design. Whether it's a tone of elegance, flair, or an inviting atmosphere, luxury doors speak for themselves.
Before you consider which model could be a potential fit, you must first think of the style, the message of the design, and your personal preference.
What is a Luxury Front Door?
So, what exactly counts as a "luxury front door" anyway? Put simply, luxury doors differ from "ordinary doors" in that they possess highly distinct features or properties, as well as a measure of quality that surpasses basic models. They are meant to invoke specific emotions in the viewer, particularly a sensation of excitement or anticipation to explore that space that lies beyond.
Luxury doors are designed with only the highest quality craftsmanship, and their materials range from specialty wood to the sleekest of steel.
Wood Luxury Front Doors
Wood is unique in that it can communicate a wide range of aesthetics, from timeless elegance to modern boldness. Because there are so many species of wood on the market, the options are practically endless. When combined with any number of finishes and accents, this model is perfect for the sophisticated homeowner. Plus, these luxury front doors are less likely to dent, and any acquired scratches are relatively easy to repair.
Our Jeld-Wen IWP wood doors are available in several different varieties of wood. We also offer a collection of fine finishes and decorative accents to round out the perfect design.
And for those seeking a rustic aesthetic, you can choose to include a distressing option to emulate a worn, homey appeal.
Fiberglass Luxury Front Doors
Fiberglass doors are a very popular choice, and this is largely due to their versatility. They can be made with a smoother surface area or a wood-grain texture to emulate lumber. Their ability to essentially "mimic" other materials while having a lower maintenance level has contributed to their acclaim.
For the homeowner seeking energy efficiency, we recommend our line of Jeld-Wen IWP Aurora luxury front doors. We can easily add high-grade finishes for a beautiful design to achieve the look of wood or iron. Further customizations include textured or ornamental glass lites to stand out from the crowd.
Iron Luxury Front Doors
Iron luxury front doors are known for being extremely adaptable, with designs ranging from sharp modern lines to whimsical curls. With an intensive finishing process, Clark Hall's intricate iron door designs guarantee a level of uniqueness and personal specification unmatched on the market today.
Specially made to order, each custom door is put through a 7-step automotive grade finishing process. You can choose from 5 stunning finishes to match the look of your home, and each door is rated to withstand hurricane-level wind conditions for the utmost safety.
Steel Luxury Front Doors
Another highly popular choice for homeowners, steel doors account for roughly half of all market sales. They can be less expensive than other models in addition to offering a high level of weather resistance and home security. Because of their build, steel luxury doors require very little in terms of maintenance.
We partnered with French Steel to bring you fully customizable luxury front doors, constructed with premier security and durability in mind. Explore a wide range of finishes, textured glass, stylish hardware, and energy-efficiency selections for your project.
What's more, our French Steel doors are not limited to a specific climate area, size, shape, or individual profile. A zinc anti-rust coating is included with every door we create to ward away corrosion, combined with reinforced steel jambs to compensate for powerful winds or other weather. For the ultimate insulation, we offer thermally broken units that far surpass the standard steel on the market.
Other Details to Consider
Of course, there are a few other considerations to take into account before you make your decision. The first is color, which works to evoke emotion in the viewer. For example, the color white communicates a manner of cleanliness while purple indicates a sense of luxuriousness. Again, this is entirely up to your personal preference and the message you want your luxury front door to channel.
For an added dimensional effect, the best option would be to include some hardware in your final design. Handles, knickers, knobs, and other quality accessories are all viable choices for a superior look. If you're still a bit unsure, we can help you find the right hardware for the luxury front door model you have in mind.
You'll also want to acknowledge how the local weather will impact the material of your chosen door, as well as how the design can match the overarching style of the home itself.
