Timber front doors: an essential guide for new build projects
February 20, 2024 | Trade | Written by Nicola Harrison
The front door you choose for your next luxury development should always be considered early on in the design phase of the project. As the first thing prospective customers see when they arrive, it’s important to choose a design that makes a real statement at the main entrance of the property.
While how the finished product looks is fundamental in creating the ‘wow’ factor for any new luxury development, how well it performs is just as important. In this blog, we’re going to explore various timber front door designs, custom options as well as their performance to help you find the perfect external door for your next new build project.
Timber door styles for new builds
As a timeless building material which suits a range of architectural styles, timber front doors can truly enhance the charm and character of any new home.
When it comes to selecting the right external door style for your project, remember to consider how it will set the tone for the property’s exterior. Ultimately, the chosen style should seamlessly complement the aesthetic no matter whether you’re working on a more traditional or contemporary design.
At Bereco, we offer two distinctive types of entrance doors, the Classic and Creative ranges. The style of each one can be customised to match an existing design, or if you’re keen to develop something new, you can work with our technical project managers who can assist you every step of the way.
