Selecting doors for your home

Many people don't realise just how many doors we have in our homes and how versatile they can be

. Often overlooked, doors can be designed to fit in with any style, dcor, size or shape of room, often changing the appearance of a room dramatically. When you want to update a room on a budget, it is often more economical to alter the design of the doors on cupboards or doors to rooms rather than alter the entire room.

For anyone with a small bedroom it can be awkward to install enough storage for clothes and accessories. Wardrobes can be bulky and take up a lot of room, making a small space seem smaller. One solution is to have built in wardrobes with sliding doors, saving space as well as looking stylish, especially if you select a mirrored sliding door to create the illusion of space.

Any small room will be suitable for sliding doors, making a living area appear larger as well as not being obtrusive. Patio doors that tilt and slide are a versatile addition to any home, saving space on the inside of your home as well as on the outside.

Garage doors are another feature that can be renovated to give your home a new look. Selecting garage doors which are stylish and easy to operate is a main consideration for many homeowners. You can now purchase garage doors that will open from a remote control removing the need to get out of your car, especially if the weather is bad. These doors are easy to fit, especially if you obtain advice from a professional company. Here at Wickes we not only stock all types of doors for your home at a reasonable price, but we also offer advice through our experienced staff or our project idea leaflets that will guide you through the purchasing process so that you only purchase tools that are essential for the project.

When you purchase a new exterior door you should consider the door furniture, especially the locks. Security is of the utmost importance for most homeowners and locks recommended by an insurance company should be purchased. In some cases your insurance claim may be classed as null and void if you don't have the correct type of lock and security devices recommended.

If you decide to fit patio doors or any other type of door consider whether you want to purchase doors already finished by the manufacturer, as this will save time sanding and painting as well as save money on sanding and painting materials. A reputable store will offer the choice of many finishes so you can complete a project in the shortest time possible without having to prepare woodwork and paint.

Whether you want to create the illusion of space with a folding or sliding door or revamp a tired-looking hallway with a new door locks, altering doors, whether internal, exterior or garage doors, is the easiest and cheapest way to change the look of a room.
