It is hard to imagine a beautiful custom home without an amazing set of double mansion doors. So much goes into the planning and all the details of the architecture and the design of the home that the doors only add an additional level of sophistication and style.
Choosing the best style of mansion doors takes time, as there are many different styles, features, options and elements to consider. These doors need to be dramatic and eye-catching, yet they should also be in harmony with the overall style, design and lines of the home.
Shapes to Consider
One of the unique aspects of the larger mansion doors is that the shape can be fully integrated into the entire design of the door. Rounded or arched doors can be enhanced by adding transoms and sidelites to enhance the shape and style of the door, pulling out the rounded and flowing curves in a way not possible with a smaller size of door.
The shapes can also be accentuated by the designs in the glass, the caming, and even the combination of glass selected. It is common to include different types of glass or create designs on the glass that complement the shape and style of the door.
Wood and Stain
Natural wood is always the most popular option in mansion doors because it is so rich, elegant and classic. African mahogany offers a very durable and resilient wood option, which can be stained in a range of colors from reds to dark browns, while still highlighting the beautiful, even grain.
The choice of colors from light to dark really depends on the home itself. Light stains can look stunning with natural stone while the darker and richer colors are a terrific match for brick or a very dark natural stone front.
Security
While mansion doors may be beautiful, elegant and stylish, they are also designed to be very secure. With three-point locks and multi-point locking hardware, these doors can be very safe and secure. Some companies are even able to craft mansion doors that meet the requirements to withstand hurricane conditions, perfect for areas where weather concerns are something a homeowner has to think about.
When it comes to choosing mansion doors, always choose to work with a top door manufacturer. Look for a company with years of experience to ensure you get exactly the door you want for your new home.
