Traditional Exterior Doors
The term “traditional” is sweeping, often evoking the nostalgic warmth of a childhood home. In design terms, however, traditional doors represent a specific, symmetrical aesthetic defined by balance and classic proportions.
Standard Traditional Features:
- Between two and 12 raised panels
- Integrated pre-hung hardware
- Durable metal or fiberglass construction
Endless Customization
Traditional doors often feature decorative glass inserts, colored panes, or intricate scrollwork. Because this category is so broad, it applies to most symmetrical designs that prioritize a “proper” and welcoming entryway.
While these doors typically come in neutral tones, their versatility is their greatest strength. You can easily modernize the look by:
- Applying a bold, bright paint color for a modern pop.
- Adding a deep green that coordinates with your landscaping.
- Updating the trim for a cleaner, high-contrast finish.
The sheer adaptability of traditional doors makes them the premier choice for homeowners updating for resale. It’s a style that appeals to everyone while offering the performance of modern materials.
