First impressions make the best impressions. The style of your door sets the tone of your house and gives it curb appeal. Pick a door that will blend into the rest of your house An example would be to have a raised panel door on your house, if your house is a colonial one.
If your house is a cape cod then a more simple design for the door would be appropriate. Doors come in different materials, wood, composite material, and metal. Also available are solid core doors for the exterior and hollow core doors for the interior.
When it comes to closets or utility rooms you may want bi-fold doors with louvers, they are attractive, low cost, and provide ventilation. Another consideration is to include french or sliding doors to the outside. These doors tend to open up your view to the outside, provide extra light, and seem to enlarge your room. You can buy them in aluminum or wood for easy painting. Make sure your general contractor installs the doors while he is building the room addition, hanging a door is not a job for a novice.
One last and important detail before your contractor installs your exterior door. Make sure he installs flashing around the top, sides and bottom of the door. This will keep the cold, rain, and snow from entering the interior.
These tips will assist you to make the right decisions for your room addition doors. It will also make the general contractors work a lot easier if you know what you want.
