In many cases, the front door is an important element in creating the overall look and appeal of a house’s façade. As such many homeowners are now starting to realise how important it is to choose the right type of door to install, since the wrong choice could end up creating a negative impact on the onlooker’s first impression of the property. Style-wise, installing a pivot door in your residential property can help make a statement and make it stand out amongst other houses in your neighborhood or block in the same way installing guillotine windows do. Their large sizes also makes them a suitable option for larger homes where traditional side hinged doors often look out of proportion.
Many of todays’ contemporary homes also feature glass walls, and glass pivot doors are absolutely great choices for such homes. These glass pivot doors can blend very well with the walls and make for one seamless design.
In line with this, glass walls are not only used as exterior walls of a house – they can also be used as room partitions inside the house, and you can use pivot walls to provide entrances for this as well. In fact, for really large bathrooms and showers, pivot doors are often recommended for use. As in the above, these pivot doors blend seamlessly well with the glass walls, and they are less obtrusive because they appear cleaner and have lesser obvious lines.
In addition, like guillotine windows, pivot doors can be custom-made according to the preferences of the property owner – which includes the size and the materials to be used as well. Pivot doors can be made from a variety of materials including wood, though glass is the more popular option nowadays. This is because clear glass provides a clear and uninterrupted view which does not only gives the illusion of a bigger space, but also provides a better and unobstructed view of your interiors and exteriors. This is a great choice for patios where you can enjoy the outdoor view without opening up your doors. Also, you can choose to use a clear glass or have it tinted or stained if you prefer. All in all, using pivot doors and glass pivot doors will give you more freedom when it comes to designing and styling your entryway and given the variety of options available, you will have no trouble finding a pivot door that will complement your design tastes and wants.
