Abilene is a city steeped in history.
Drawing its roots from the cattle trade - with agriculture still being a massive part of its heritage - the city offers a perfect blend of traditional values and modern living. It's also an exceptional place to raise a family, with homeowners setting up in the region thanks to a combination of solid public schools and affordable housing.
Those are likely the reasons you call Abilene home.
But now, you're ready to make an investment - one that'll transform your home into a thing of beauty. And with PINKYS, that investment can come in the form of a stunning iron door.
What Makes Iron Entry Doors Perfect for Abilene?
A few words may come to mind when you imagine what an iron door looks like. "Durability" and "security" are often the first two - iron is known for its spectacular strength. But the word "intricate" might also creep into the equation, especially if you've seen the stunning scrollwork on traditional iron doors.
All of these words can be true - depending on who built your door - but they're not the reasons to go down the iron road in Abilene. Rather, the three benefits of iron doors presented here should be all you need to see why iron entry doors and your home are the perfect match.
Thermal Breaks to Tackle the Hot Weather
Abilene can get warm.
Really warm.
The average temperature during August - the peak of summer - in the city is 84.8 degrees Fahrenheit. When combined with regular summer rains, the result is a city that can often feel hot and humid. Naturally, those are two elements you want to keep outside, which can be difficult with an iron door for a simple reason:
Iron conducts heat.
If you're not careful, your door could serve as a "thermal bridge" that transfers the heat from outside into your home. Discomfort. A constantly buzzing AC unit. Higher energy bills. All could result were it not for a clever technology that PINKYS builds into its iron doors.
That technology is thermal breaking - a layer of insulation built between two layers of iron that stops heat transfer in its tracks. During the long summer months in Abilene, you can trust a PINKYS door to keep your home cool.
Wrought Iron Entry Doors Boost Your Home's Value
If you're thinking about putting your house on the market, your goal is simple:
Do whatever you can to boost its value so you walk away with as much money as possible.
Of course, the city's affordability can play against you here, with the average home being listed for $249,900, according to Realtor.com. That affordability is why you moved to Abilene - it made it easier to afford a nice family home - but it could also stop you from getting as much as you need from a sale.
So, where do iron doors fit into all of this?
They improve curb appeal.
That boost can add 7% to your property's value, adding close to $17,500 on the Abilene average - meaning you get an amazing return on your investment into your door.
Add Iron, Insert Glass, and Get an Elegant Contemporary Look
When you imagined an iron door earlier, your mind likely went to what you could call the "traditional" iron door look. Big, bulky, and heavy - perhaps with a silvery finish and some scrollwork - that type of door is attractive but doesn't exactly scream modernity.
Thankfully, that's not what an iron door has to look like.
With PINKYS, you get access to the stunning Air range, which combines the strength of iron with modern design aesthetics. In practice, that means using iron to border large panes of glass - creating bold geometric shapes in the process - giving a nice mix of airiness and elegance.
Therein lies the beauty of iron:
It's a versatile and robust material that can be tailored to whatever you choose for your home's design. If "traditional" isn't your thing, you can find almost any type of popular aesthetic represented in iron door manufacture.
Multiple Options With PINKYS
You now know why an iron door can add the perfect finishing touch to your home.
What's left is to ensure you make the right choice today so you get a door that's going to look stunning in your entryway for years. PINKYS delivers options - the following three of which are amazing choices for your area.
Air 5 Double Flat - A Double Door You Can Easily Install
Grandiosity, thy name is Air 5 Double Flat.
That may seem like a slight overstatement, but it doesn't change the fact that these gorgeous doors are an ideal fit for large entryways. They also follow the Air design philosophy - sleek black lines and large panes of glass - to create a door that opens up the space behind and looks stunning when viewed from the curb.
Air 4 Pivot - Create a Unique Look in the City
Perhaps a standard door - which opens and closes using hinges built into its side - isn't for you.
You're looking for unique. Refreshing. A door that's unlike any other you might find on your street. Enter the Air 4 Pivot, a special type of door that uses hinges built into its top and bottom. It's a great choice if you're looking to save some wall space on your door's sides. But, like the Air 5 Double Flat - it's best suited to homes with large entryways.
DNA Door - Elegance on a Budget
Grandiosity is all well and good, but you may have limited space and a budget to keep. That's okay - PINKYS has options there. In addition to single-door variants of our Air 4 and Air 5 ranges, we also take the classical approach with the DNA Door.
Stunning scrollwork is the door's hallmark, with customization options also available if you decide to place a special order.
Transform Your Home With PINKYS Iron and Steel Doors
Three options.
There are many more - which you'll find in the PINKYS catalog - that range from variations of our Air design to more classical looks that make interesting use of scrollwork. You can even harken back to Abilene's agricultural roots with Dutch doors taken from the barnyard and given a modern touch thanks to the PINKYS magic.
