Door Oval
The external doors are the guardian deities of a home
External doors, especially the front doors of homes, are often equated to the heart of a home. The opening and closing of its front doors are the heartbeats of the house – its systole and diastole, which plot points on the graph of a home’s activity level. The front doors are the most prominent feature of homes from the entry-exit point of view, as well as from the visibility angle.
Because of the sacrosanct status given to External doors, their appearance is considered very important. Places of worship, especially ancient ones, had elaborate doors, huge in size, and intricately carved, or heavily ornate. Maybe people of those days saw the External doors of temples as something that separated the material world from the sacred ambience within. So they designed it to be almost like the doors of fortresses that literally barricaded one world from the other.
The duties of External doors are also as clear as the doors themselves. The doors are literally the watchmen of the entire house, however big or small the house is. The job of keeping the house safe and secure from the vagaries of the weather, as well as from human intruders, is vested in these doors. In smaller houses, the number of External doors could be just one, while with bigger ones it could be two, three, or four, based upon the size of the house.
While the duties of External doors, both the front ones and back ones, are typically the same, the front doors are obviously the more pampered ones, mainly because it is the more visible facet of a home. Owners of a home are generally fastidious in choosing the locking mechanism and door knockers and doorbell ringers and peephole pattern of the front doors. The color of the front External doors is also chosen to match the external colours of the home.
With the back External doors, the type of aesthetics that defines the front External doors could get a back seat. For many people, glazed doors are a popular choice for back doors. While glazed door with single, double, or triple glass panels, in square, rectangle, oval, or diamond patterns are popular for front doors also, lots of people choose to have back External doors more or less entirely of glass or at least mostly of glass. This is done for bringing in the light and colors of the outside into the home. To block the outside when necessary, Venetian blinds can be fitted into the glass.
Depending upon the place where you stay, the insulation of External doors is also important. Well insulated doors make the home energy efficient, and will reduce your energy bills. Wooden doors, whether oak, pine, or hardwood, do have some natural insulating properties. If you are choosing glazed External doors, glass with better insulation can be chosen to increase the energy efficiency of the door.
