Vision Art Aluminum has some “fast and furious” considerations for our busy and beloved customers in the Northern New Jersey area regarding choosing the best front door for your home. We know you’re busy so let’s get at this.
Here are important considerations before you shop for a door:
1-Fully understand the purpose of the door in order to make the wisest choice. Consider the priorities: Security? Energy efficiency? Privacy? Style of your home? Which direction does the door face? Can you see who is at the door before you open it? Do you want to?
2-Have an understanding of the materials commonly used in manufacturing of doors.
Wood? Fiberglas? Steel? Aluminum? Know the strengths and weaknesses of the door you select before you make a decision.
3-What size do you need? Measure twice, buy and order once, to make sure you get the right size.
4-Appraise the level of security you require from the locking system. Safety first, please!
5-Aesthetics: choosing styles and colors, it’s the first thing your friends, neighbors and perhaps business associates see. Practical issues? What color hides dirt but flatters the appearance of your home? Compliment the look of your home, don’t overwhelm it. Doors last a long time so you can be stuck with it if you make a mistake here. Remember “curb appeal” is important.
As experts in the field, Vision Art Aluminum will make our recommendation to our friends and neighbors in Bergen County, NJ. Our doors are custom made, we can measure the door opening, we’re experienced after years in the door business, we’re artists (did you know our owner was a face designer/make-up artist for more than a decade before he took to architectural designing family spaces? See his bio on our website) so we know color, and more than that we absolutely know aluminum doors have the greatest “bang for the buck.”
Here’s our advice as pros: Aluminum is the best possible material for doors and windows. PERIOD! It’s rust proof, strong, lightweight, resistant to the elements, does not warp, is anti-corrosive unless you are near a body of saltwater, if so, invite us over for lunch, and we will tell you about coating it with an anti-corrosive. Aluminum is easy to clean!
