Entrance Doors for Your Home
Choosing a new entrance door for your home can be a challenging process. Often, when choosing something new, the first thing we consider is design. However, when choosing entrance doors for private homes, it's important to consider not only design and security but also thermal insulation, which is especially important on the coldest days of the year.
Entrance Doors for Your Home with Good Thermal Insulation
Since temperatures in Latvia can reach -30°C during the coldest months, it's important to consider the temperature at which they can freeze when choosing entrance doors. By choosing the right door, you'll not only reduce the likelihood of the door being stuck open on the coldest mornings of the year, but also provide better thermal insulation from the outside environment. Thicker, more filled composite doors will be heavier, more secure, provide greater thermal insulation, and also offer better soundproofing.
What should you consider when choosing an entrance door for your home?
- Sound insulation index;
- Minimum temperature at which a door can freeze;
- Dividing the door frame into two parts (internal and external) provides additional thermal insulation;
- The presence of a thermal bridge in the door improves thermal insulation;
- Security system;
- Door material.
Exterior doors are designed for outdoor use.
Exterior doors are custom-made and equipped with a thermal insulation pocket in the frame, which isolates the interior of the door from the external environment. This technology prevents the formation of cold bridges, which reduce the thermal insulation properties of exterior doors. The thermal insulation pocket in the frame ensures heat retention inside the room, as the door does not allow cold air to pass through.
