If there’s one thing that really makes HBD main doors important, it would have to be the fact that they’re the first and last things you or your guests will see. It makes sense for you to give importance to choosing it. It’s all about making a great first impression, after all.
But ultimately, more than that, you want your main door to keep you safe and secure while having some level of climate control at the same time. It’s a great investment to make but it’s still a huge cost to make nonetheless. This is why you need to be really smart in choosing your main door. You need to keep in mind that at the end of the day, it really isn’t just the door you’re buying.
You’re also looking into how well it fits in along with the design scheme of your interior and exterior space. Here are some things you need to consider when you’re in the market for choosing a main door for your HDB.
The material
HDB main doors are made out of different materials such as wood and steel. There are a lot of offerings like the ones we have below that can be a combination of both. We provide high grade HDB main doors with high quality materials.
They are usually water resistant and scratch resistant as well which makes it understandable why they’re a sensible choice for you to go with. Look for main doors that are reinforced with steel for added security. It would also be nice if you consider those that have tech insulating cores as well.
There’s a wide variety in textures and colors for you to choose from in order for you to come up with a truly unique look. Main doors that are made out of high grade materials are also resistant from dents and apart from the occasional sealer and varnish, they don’t really require too much maintenance.
Steel is versatile and budget friendly as it can withstand harsh weather while at the same time providing security for your HDB flat. It’s stronger than wood and interestingly, cheaper as well. Wood is a classic and is also durable, but has a much higher price tag because it has the added element of aesthetics along with it.
Insulation and climate control
HDB main doors need to offer some sort of climate control as it can help you save up over 40% of your energy costs with a properly insulated main door. Modern main doors these days aren’t just made of a single material. They’re usually composites with tech insulated cores similar to the ones we offer. Doors that are equipped with thermal breaks are heat resistant and prevent the cold or heat from the outside from coming in and vice versa, helping you save up on either indoor heating or air conditioning.
Security
And of course, you need HDB main doors that offer you top-notch security. Our doors come with strength and have excellent locking mechanisms similar to the one pictured below. Dead bolts are great but with the onset of technology, we’ve added electronic locks as well which can make them virtually impenetrable at the end of the day.
There are also added features such as a transponder or a smartphone entry that allows you entry into the HDB flat without a key. Some variations are keypad codes or even RFID chips. Security is everything and this is something that you need to really prioritize first and foremost for your HDB main door.
