One of the most cost-effective ways to increase the value of a home is to add a new entry door. This value can be figured out on a calculator, almost to the dollar. It takes into account the materials used, the cost of labor, the savings on energy bills, and other quantifiable factors. But, installing new French doors on your home will increase its value in a way that is much more subtle. There are some things you just can’t put a price on.
Light
Do you have a living room that could use some light? How about a bedroom with a tiny window that looks out onto your porch? How about a kitchen that only gets sun in the morning? Most homes have a room that could use more light, and adding light to a room is one of the ways French doors really shine.
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that isn’t entirely true. Dim light can make any room look dreary. Light makes colors pop. It adds vibrancy and life. When you have new French doors installed, you’re going to notice all that extra light almost immediately. And, anyone looking to buy your home in the future will notice it too.
Access
French doors excel at providing access. Not only are they the perfect enhancement to a bedroom you’d like to have open up to your outside deck or balcony, they are the right choice when you need to add a ground floor entry that allows you to easily bring large items into your home. If you’ve ever tried to stuff a big couch through a standard sized front door, you know exactly what we’re talking about. Having French doors is like having a two lane highway. This is a great selling feature.
Style
Every home is more beautiful with French doors. This entry choice adds style and elegance, and you just can’t put a price on that.
There are so many subtle ways new French doors can add to the value of your home. Whether it is the way they create warm shadows on the ceramic tiles in your kitchen or how they open your living room up to give access to the outside pool area during family gatherings, French doors are an investment you’ll be glad you made, especially when it comes time to sell your home.
