While interior doors are certainly important, purchasing exterior doors and windows requires significantly more attention. That’s because windows, balcony and terrace doors, and entrance doors must endure daily challenges that their interior counterparts simply don’t face.
For this reason, choosing the right exterior openings is a serious decision. If you’re currently considering your options, we highly recommend reading today’s blog post—it offers helpful guidance on making a choice that will impact your home life for many years to come!
Material Matters: Choosing the Right Exterior Frame
The very first step is deciding what material your exterior windows and doors should be made of. In our webshop, plastic windows and doors have remained incredibly popular for years. However, they’re not the only option—you can also choose aluminium frames. So which is best? Here’s a quick summary:
- Plastic options are widely available in many colors and match a variety of architectural styles.
- Wood is undeniably beautiful, but its price and maintenance needs may discourage buyers.
- Aluminium is gaining traction thanks to its durability, though it best complements modern architecture.
Depending on your individual needs, all three can be valid choices—just be sure to weigh their pros and cons carefully before making your decision.
Style and Substance—No Need to Compromise
In the past, you often had to settle: either you sacrificed looks or accepted that the ideal solution didn’t exist.
But times have changed. As technology has evolved, so has the market for exterior windows and doors. Now, variations that were once unthinkable are readily available. For example, in a previous post, we discussed what to do if you dream of installing narrow windows.
Fortunately, that’s now easily achievable—if you’re familiar with what’s on offer. The better you understand your options, the easier it is to make the ideal choice.
That’s because exterior doors and windows do more than just protect your home from the elements. They must also serve an aesthetic function. Even a premium-quality door or window will feel out of place if it doesn’t match the style of your home—and that visual disconnect will greet you every time you walk through the door.
To avoid this, make sure you thoroughly explore your options before deciding.
Choose a Complete Solution
Lastly, we recommend that you treat windows and doors as part of a larger system—including shading solutions and insect screens.
This approach allows you to take care of everything in one go, and if you purchase all components from the same manufacturer, you’ll avoid any compatibility issues between the different elements.
