7 Reasons To Consider A Craftsman Entry Door For Your SoCal Home

Craftsman Doors Are A Beloved Choice
For Many Homeowners

If you are looking to add a bit of character to your Southern California home, a Craftsman front entry door is one of the best choices you can make. Craftsman doors, although they have been around for over 100 years, are still a wildly popular door choice for many homeowners.

While Craftsman doors are typically constructed from hardwood, fiberglass doors reign supreme in this day and age. Not only does fiberglass offer the same aesthetic appeal as real wood, but it also lasts considerably longer!

Let’s talk about the top 7 reasons to consider a craftsman entry door for your Orange County home!

What Exactly Are Craftsman Doors?

Craftsman front entry doors are simply one particular style of door, and lucky for you, we offer them here at Today’s Entry Doors! Craftsman doors first popped up in modern architecture in the early 1900s in England and have often been associated with the Arts & Crafts Movement, a time in which many fresh ideas were born.

Simplified versions of modern Craftsman doors share the following attributes:

  • Panes of glass cover the top third section of the door, typically more than three panes and often in a grid-like pattern.
  • Usually one solid piece of material, although we do offer Dutch-style craftsman doors.
  • The bottom two-thirds of the door features a panel pattern.

1. Craftsman Doors Look Great On All Homes

One of the most beloved attributes of Craftsman doors is the pure versatility in how they can be used around the home. While most people utilize Craftsman doors in front entryways, they can be installed virtually anywhere! Not only that, Craftsman doors look phenomenal on modern and classic-style homes alike.

2. Craftsman Doors Add Natural Light To The Home

Craftsman doors can have as many or as few windows as you would like. While larger panes of glass may reduce the level of privacy in the home, it can greatly increase the amount of natural light. If you live far enough away from prying eyes, large glass panels are the way to go.

3. Craftsman Doors Are Built Tough

Craftsman doors are well known for being constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, maple, walnut, cherry, and so on. These types of hardwoods are, well, hard!

While wood craftsman doors may look stunning at first, wood is well known for having one of the shortest lifespans of any door materials. Luckily, our Craftsman doors are built to last and are backed by our lifetime warranty.

4. Craftsman Doors Maintain Historic Value

If you live in a historic part or neighborhood of Orange County, you may be required to maintain the historic appearance and value of a home. When it comes time for a remodel, you have to be very careful about the products you choose.

Whether you decide to go with fiberglass or wooden Craftsman doors, they will both be suitable options for most historic homes. Unfortunately, many styles of doors do not meet history-related regulations.

5. Craftsman Doors Increase The Curb Appeal Of A Home

In a world where first impressions matter quite a bit, you want to make sure your home sets the bar high from the very first glance. Your front entry door says a lot about your home and a Craftsman door is a great way to showcase your individual style and taste. If you are considering selling your home, an attractive front entry door can increase the asking price.

6. Craftsman Doors Can Add Ventilation To The Home

Since we are blessed with warm weather most of the year, opting for a Craftsman Dutch door could be a great idea for your home. Dutch doors have two separate sections that can be individually opened and closed. Having just the top section open will bring in the cool breeze from outside while keeping pets and children safely locked inside.

7. Craftsman Doors Are Wildly Customizable

We’ve already covered a few ways you can customize Craftsman doors to suit your home, but the options are truly endless! From different sizes and shapes of glass panels to unlimited color combinations, Craftsman doors can truly be the best entry door choice for your home.
