Iron Doors: Back in Black

Safety… durability… security… these are all words that come to mind when you think of iron doors. However, you can add beauty to that list, too, because today’s iron doors are back and they are bold. When choosing a new door that makes a statement, consider one that not only adds aesthetics to your property but one that will last a lifetime. Iron doesn’t rot like wood does, plus it offers enhanced strength that you just can’t get from any other material. Of course, not every home is suited to an iron door. For instance, the effect of an ornate iron door would overpower a small ranch. However, large, stately homes would benefit nicely from this addition.

Many people choose iron doors to keep burglars or trespassers out. Yes, resilience and robust features are what iron doors are all about. But they don’t have to all be about toughness. They can also boost your curb appeal at the same time. What began as a trendy addition to homes in the 1970s has started to come back into popularity today.

Why Choose an Iron Door?

There are many reasons why homeowners would opt to go with iron doors for their home:

  • They make a grand entrance: Impressing your guests has never been easier when you accentuate the entry way to your home. Check out this arched, European-style wrought iron door flanked by mirrored obelisks opening onto a tiled foyer by HGTV. When you think of wrought iron doors, you may think of solid pieces that look more Medieval than modern. This photo shows how much natural light iron doors can let in, punctuated by a breezy, beautiful style for any grand home.
  • They guard against extreme temperatures: Because iron doors are usually foam insulated, they can reduce the flow of heat and cold into the house. You’ll enjoy cooler temps in summer and warmer temps in winter, saving on energy bills in the process.
  • They’re damage-resistant: Tough against all kinds of weather and corrosion, it takes a lot to damage an iron door. Wooden doors, by comparison, are not nearly as sturdy and are vulnerable to the weather, which means they have to be replaced more often. They can also be broken into easily.
  • They protect the home and everyone in it: An alarm system or elaborate lock is great, but if you have a flimsy front door, this won’t be any kind of deterrent against burglars. Due to their high weight and strength, iron doors and their accompanying locks and steel hinges are no match for prowlers. As far as long-term investments go for your home, this is one of the best. If you live in an affluent neighborhood and have a lot of valuables in the home, an iron door gives you immeasurable peace of mind. Due to their material, they can easily resist strong impacts.
  • They bring a unique look to your home. Everyone has wood or fiberglass doors. You can be different and make a statement with iron doors. You’ll probably be the only one on your block with them — increasing your curb appeal and property value.
