Changing interior doors: the 3 questions to ask yourself
Changing interior doors is often a difficult question to answer. Sometimes one would be tempted to leave everything as it is, perhaps settling for a poorly functional fixture. On other occasions, in too much haste to change, you end up buying a window that doesn't fully meet your needs.
That's why today we propose three questions that you should ask yourself before starting to think about replacing your doors. In this way, you can be sure of buying windows that are really close to your needs at the most appropriate time.
Why do I want to change the internal doors?
As we write in the title, the first thing to ask yourself is: "Why do I want to change the doors?"
If it is a question of technical reasons, linked to the wear and tear of the fixtures, it is necessary to make sure that the defects are so serious as to prevent the functioning of the fixture itself. We talked about it in the article: "Replacing internal doors: when is the right time?"
Another reason to change the doors is the stylistic renewal. Perhaps you have chosen to refresh your home, or to renovate it in a different style. In this case, replacing the doors can be an almost obligatory step if you want to maintain unity in the furnishings.
Replacing the doors can also be useful to increase the value of your home, in case you plan to sell it at a later time.
Are the doors eco-friendly?
The topic of the sustainability of doors is becoming increasingly important. Environmental sensitivity is now the prevailing theme, and finally, even in the furnishing sector, we have arrived at the proposal of solutions whose production does not have an excessive impact on the ecosystem.
In this sense, there are several trends that have emerged in recent years:
Doors built with specific trees: some door manufacturers use wood produced from trees planted expressly for the construction of frames. Once removed, the trees are replaced with new shrubs, in order to maintain a correct production rate without resorting to the wild deforestation of natural areas;
Bamboo doors: in some cases, bamboo can also be used to make interior doors. Curiously, it is not a woody material, but a specific type of grass which, once extracted, grows back naturally.
What services do I need?
In an ideal scenario, before changing interior doors it would be helpful to already know what additional services will be required. In this way it is possible to establish with greater precision the cost to be incurred, and therefore the budget that must be dedicated to the new purchase. Additional services you may need include:
Personalization: the purchase of doors with personalized prints, or particular engravings, requires an additional expense, but greatly increases the stylistic value of the frame;
Guarantee: it is also important to evaluate the possible presence of insurance on the functioning and integrity of the door, especially if you choose a particularly expensive model;
Shipping abroad: shipping interior doors abroad is a fascinating topic. We talked about it in the article "Free shipping for low cost doors: Porte Italiane ships abroad!", where we explore our advantageous shipping service.
Mistakes to avoid
In principle, there are two most obvious mistakes that can be made when choosing to change the internal doors. They concern the style and the expense incurred:
Stylistic unity: the door you choose to buy is destined to remain inside your home for years. Therefore, care must be taken to choose the correct and appropriate style for the type of furniture already present;
Going on savings: choosing a low-cost door can be a good idea if you are on a tight budget. On the other hand, opting for an economic fixture can lead to problems in the long run, especially from the point of view of maintenance.
