Allen is one of the most influential suburbs of Dallas-Fort North, with one of the highest median incomes per capita in the country.
As a result, the city is home to many upscale and influential neighborhoods and luxury homes. One of the best ways to instill that sense of luxury and sophistication into your house is right at the entryway.
How, you may ask? With wrought iron doors, of course.
With an abundance of unique styles, from rustic and elaborate to modern and sleek, iron doors can give every homeowner the home of their dreams.
Ironclad, yet Artisinal: Why Choose Wrought Iron Entry Door Styles
If you're remodeling your home, you might be more concerned about the interior or the exterior than what you use to connect the two. However, the right set of doors—or windows, for that matter—can create a seamless design pop.
Here's why replacing traditional wooden doors with wrought iron ones could be a great choice.
Designed for First Impressions
The exterior doors are the first thing visitors will see when going into your home, so you want to make sure that you leave a good first impression right out of the gate. After all, Texans are known for their boundless hospitality.
Wrought iron has a distinct advantage over wooden, steel, or fiberglass options in that it can be twisted into pretty much any shape without losing durability. Skilled artisans can construct entry doors with intricate designs that pair well with traditional Mediterranean-inspired residences popular in the south of the country.
Alternatively, you can also use the doors to instill style into a modern or minimalist home, creating a unique centerpiece without needing any additional decor.
Energy Efficiency
Iron doors are not just pretty. They are functional, too. While they might have large glass panes, modern glass options include low-E glass, which reflects UV light and has low heat conductivity. This means that you can bring as much light as you want into your home without also inviting the harsh summer heat.
Due to these properties, low-E is an excellent option for Allen due to its warm climate and plenty of sun. It will help you save on energy bills while providing ample natural light year-round.
As a result, you can make your contribution to vital global issues by lowering your carbon footprint straight from your home.
Additionally, iron is a solid insulator by itself. Even if your doors have less glass surface, they will do an excellent job of protecting the interior from the summer heat.
Supreme Sturdiness
While steel doors are commonly considered some of the most durable and long-lasting options (if given proper care), they are not really the ideal choice for a home. Steel is reminiscent of industrial designs and factories. If you want to put more steel in your home, try the kitchen.
Wrought iron is no less resistant to impact. However, it also can withstand high heat (something that you should be quite used to by now). Additionally, when coated with an adequate finish for more protection—such as the one from PINKYS—a wrought iron door doesn't develop nearly as much wear and tear as its steel counterpart.
Safety Paramount
Apart from being durable and long-lasting, iron doors can be fitted with various security measures to make them more tamper-proof and protect your home's valuables. The key here is again the natural resilience of wrought iron to impact and the elements. When you add a pristine lock, you have a door that's more than ready to take on the world.
Even if you choose models that have enormous glass panes, you don't have to worry about your home's security. Modern doors include tempered glass, which is more resistant to hits. Additionally, if they do break, panes will shatter into larger pieces that are easier to handle.
PINKYS goes the extra mile and uses true divided glass. This means that each pane is a separate double-tempered insert, with the iron construction acting as reinforcement.
Invaluable Addition
A front door isn't just a prop or a piece of decor, nor is it merely a functional passage between the indoors and the outdoors. With a bit of attention to detail, you might not need to replace your front doors for a lifetime.
Once installed, a quality door will make a significant difference in your house's curb appeal. If you decide to sell the house later, the improved look can result in a higher asking price, ultimately giving you back your investment. According to Forbes, you might receive as much as 80% of the door's cost.
When considering adding a new entry door to your home, you're investing in the house's future and making it truly a home. Money becomes only an afterthought.
Why Install PINKYS for Your Allen Wrought Iron Doors
Hailing from sweltering southern California, PINKYS embodies the artistry and cultural shifts of Los Angeles. With an eye for beauty, PINKYS craftsmen use their expertise to create doors that are not just functional pieces but stylistic marvels that catch the eyes of passersby and visitors alike.
But if you're still not convinced why you should choose PINKYS, let us take you through a journey of wrought iron designs.
Customization Options Galore
PINKYS offers pretty much every type of architectural door you might think of for a modern and stylish home. From single to double French iron doors, from pivot doors and accordions to sliding doors on railings, you can customize your entryway to your heart's content.
If you want to let in more light into the home, you don't have to stop with the door itself. Add sidelights to expand the effective area of the door and create a wider entrance that opens into your beautiful garden.
As mentioned, the nature of wrought iron is versatility itself. Due to its malleability, you can have doors with delicate details that look like embroidery made in metal.
Gorgeous Styles that Inspire
Whether you're an old soul or a modernist at heart, you will be able to find a door that perfectly matches your home's aesthetic.
For example, the Hills double door with Flemish glass is an example of detailing PINKYS can provide to match the traditional Mediterranean style that's seeing a revival in the U.S. The slight distortions in the panes provide just enough privacy from distant onlookers while giving you an excellent view of your surroundings. The door's style combines extremely well with homeowners who prefer earthly tones or patios with plenty of greenery to connect with nature.
If you want a more classic appearance, the Knox might be more up your alley. The straight lines in the design create a more subdued look, and the doors provide just enough light to illuminate the entryway without giving too much information on what's going on inside.
For a side or garden entrance, notice how the Knox Pivot creates a larger entryway and lets in more light. It pairs perfectly with homes that don't need their doors to be the center of attention.
When aiming to get as much sunlight inside as possible, any of the multiple options in the Air collection might be best. With enormous panes and a minimalistic design, these doors can pair well with any style or decoration.
The Air 4, for example, goes extremely well with the modern interpretation of the Texas Ranch house. On the other hand, the more subdued Air 5 double door can work better with a farmhouse or traditional home that wants a touch of elegance.
Attention to Detail
In its devotion to making doors veritable pieces of art, PINKYS focuses on quality above all else. All iron entry doors use the highest quality materials, ensuring that your entryway will stay perfect for years to come.
Additionally, the assurance of excellence goes beyond the door's construction. PINKYS has designed the Iron Doors Spray to simplify maintenance. The spray can be applied to both the metal and glass sections, streamlining the service process.
Commercial Iron Door Options
While PINKYS doors are traditionally made for a luxurious residential property, that's only a part of the appeal.
If you're running a company that sees clients and customers at the office or store, why not make their experience as sophisticated as possible? PINKYS wrought iron doors can transform businesses to provide a more personalized look.
A business owner can also consult our customer support service for tips on installing these elegant doors in your store.
