(Building Basics Series)
Nothing gives a home personality like a dramatic front door. "Spence shows how to select and install... exterior and interior doors as well as their components (such as lock sets, hinges, and glazing). Security and energy efficiency are important concerns that Spence covers in detail.
The challenge is to select just the right style that reflects the feeling you want to create for visitors, passers-by and yourself. Start by making sure your door is in the right location. Then get helpful tips on drawing plans for the entire entryway including door, side windows, foyer and lighting. Factor in practical needs like energy efficiency, durability of material, security, the amount of light that you want and the type of hardware that fits the best. Finally there are issues of blending aesthetics (colour schemes and planting), night illumination, privacy and security. Now you're ready to follow the instructions for buying materials and installation. Other doorways also get special chapters, from patios to garage entries, storage areas, and entries to workshops and studies.
