The Best Exterior Double Doors at PINKYS

Originating thousands of years ago—in the days of Ancient Greece—double doors were once reserved exclusively for the grandest of structures. They adorned the facades of imposing temples, ornate public buildings, and the like. As the ages passed, they retained that aura of elegance and sophistication often found fitted to the front of palaces, castles, and manors.

These days, they're a little more accessible and widespread, in use everywhere from schools and offices to residential homes. But, regardless of where they're installed, they still bring that same sense of grandeur and scale they always have, elevating a building's exterior, expanding its appeal, and making a statement, all at once.

Reasons to Choose Double Doors

If you're considering a new front door for your home, or a set of patio doors to adorn the rear, double doors are far from your only choice. There are other options out there, like the traditional single door or something more quirky and out-of-the-ordinary, like pivot or barn doors. However, out of all those options, double doors bring a lot of distinct advantages to the table.

A Statement Piece

There's no doubt about it, double doors make a statement. Imagine two identical homes side-by-side. Now picture one with a single front door and the other with a set of double front doors instead. It's clear that the home with the double entry doors will have an extra layer of allure, a little extra class, and a certain je ne sais quoi that sets it apart from its neighbor.

This is one of the many reasons why double doors have so often, throughout history, been used on the most luxurious and fancy of properties. They exude elegance, style, and refinement, elevating the homes and buildings they're attached to. Like a striking swimming pool or a gorgeous garden, they're superior statement pieces for the exterior of the home.

Space and Convenience

The benefits of double doors don't merely revolve around aesthetic impressions. These doors also bring added functionality, security, and convenience, wherever they're placed. Twice as large as a standard front door, a double door provides much more room, when fully opened, for moving items (like large and heavy pieces of furniture) in and out of the property.

So, let's say you've got large bedrooms and living spaces inside your home, and you need similarly large items to furnish them, like corner sofas and grand, king-size beds. Fitting such items through a standard front door can be a challenge. But, with a double door installed, it's infinitely easier. Even the house's biggest items can pass through the gap with minimal fuss.

Adding Allure and Atmosphere to the Entrance

Stepping through a set of double-entry doors is an experience. There's just something about the size, scope, and scale of these doors that makes them more imposing and impressive to open up and walk through than any other type of door. As such, they're phenomenal for forming a fantastic first impression on guests and creating a genuine atmosphere around your home's entryway.

With double front doors, the very act of stepping into the home becomes more emotionally moving, more engaging, and more exciting, and all the space around is lifted and enhanced by the presence of those doors. If you have a lobby or foyer area behind your double front door entrance, for example, it'll feel so much more impressive and alluring as a result.

Letting in More Natural Light

A massive aspect of modern design is the focus on natural light. The world over, leading architects and designers are constantly seeking new ways to bring more of that light into the home, to illuminate living rooms and surrounding spaces with nothing but sun rays. It helps to bridge the gap between outside and inside, creating that "indoor-outdoor" style that so many modern homeowners seek.

Well, a double door can help with that. Many of the best double door designs come with multiple glass panels, whether they be in sidelights, transoms, or built right into the frame of the doors themselves. This not only blurs the lines between the outside and in, but it also paves the way for much more natural light and color to enter the home, unobstructed by walls and blockades.

Elevating Your Home's Appeal and Value

Many people take just as much pride in the exterior of their properties as they do in the interior. They want the outside of their property to reflect the love and care they feel for it, to project part of their personality to the outside world. It's not just about curb appeal or impressing the neighbors and passers-by, it's about feeling comfortable and at ease with your property, inside and out.

For exterior aesthetic appeal, few options can compete with the inimitable beauty and unabashed grandeur of double front doors. They bring an instant jolt of splendor and style to any exterior, boosting not only your home's appeal but its value, too. Indeed, surveys and reports suggest that homes with double-door installations often sell more easily and at higher prices than those without.

A Vast, Versatile Array of Double Doors Styles and Designs

Double doors come in numerous forms. Just like their single-door counterparts, they're almost endlessly customizable, with a veritable rainbow of colors, styles, and materials for buyers to choose from. There are traditional wooden variants—like mahogany double doors. At the other end of the spectrum, there are modern, minimalist alternatives, forged of steel and iron. The options go on and on.

What's more, double-door installations open new opportunities for extras and add-ons to embellish your entryways and enhance your home's appeal. The aforementioned features like symmetrical sidelights and transoms, for instance, look particularly at home beside a set of double front doors. Or you could augment your entrance in other ways, with a roof, steps, or lights, all adding to the allure of the double doors.
