If the theater begins with a hanger, then the house - with the front door. Because how beautiful and stylish the door greets the guests, the appearance of the whole house and the impression it makes depend on it. However, a high-quality front door should not only be attractive in appearance, but also ensure the safety of residents, because this is one of its main purposes.

The most popular options that combine these listed qualities are metal entrance doors. If in a multi-storey building an apartment will most often be crowned with a continuous smooth canvas, then residents of private houses prefer to install forged structures. It is about the latter that we will talk today.

Features forged designs

Iron wrought iron doors or doors decorated with wrought iron elements entered human life a long time ago when a person first became concerned about the safety of his own home. The first doors were quite rude and completely unlike modern options. However, metal forging masters developed their craft, and today we are greeted with truly masterpiece options, about which it is even difficult to think that we are faced with cold and austere metal.

Modern forged doors can be solid or have glass and wood inserts. Drawings on such doors can be folded into geometric patterns, intricate abstract compositions, be very complex or the simplest. In fact, there are a lot of options for the execution of forged door trim - it all depends on the imagination of the author and the skill of the performer.

If we talk about the advantages of this option of the front door, then we can recall that:

• such a door is reliable and durable;
• provides the necessary level of security;
• possesses high sound and heat insulation characteristics;
• with proper care, it serves more than a dozen years;
• It has an original design and attractive appearance.

Of course, like any element of the interior and exterior, such doors have their drawbacks. The most important thing for many is the high price of the product. Forged doors are often made individually and on order. The master makes a unique design, based on your requirements. Undoubtedly, this minus makes you think, but, on the other hand, you can always be sure that none of your neighbors will have such a door. In addition, the high strength characteristics of the design itself deserve to be paid for properly.

If a fully forged door seems too expensive, then the craftsmen will always find a fallback - they can use forged door settings. In this case, only some parts of the door will be forged by the mater, the main part will be occupied by a simple door leaf. Forged elements can be of different shapes, colors and sizes - there are many options, and the choice depends on the result that the owner wants to see.

The second drawback can be called the likelihood of metal corrosion, but it is so small and primarily depends on the professional qualities of the master who makes the door for you, so you should attribute this drawback to the category of possible troubles.

Execution options

The most popular version of the front door of this type are forged doors with glass.Such a door looks very attractive and gentle, the glasses let in enough light into the house and allow you to see the entrance without opening the door. The design with glass is lightweight and has an interesting design. Glass can be transparent, matte or mirror. Any of these options adds its own zest to the composition, making the combination of metal and glass organic and attractive.

It may seem that the door with glass is less reliable and does not provide the necessary security, there is some truth in this, but only in the case that it is possible to see life inside the house from the street. Glasses themselves are made specifically for use in the front door and are characterized by high strength and durability.

Very often, forged doors make forged canopies over the door - most often they are designed in the same style as the door, have overlapping elements with the door decoration, but most importantly - they reliably protect the door and the space in front of the door from precipitation.

Forged antique doors are also known for their demand. These structures, on the contrary, are known for their heaviness and resemble the entrance structures of ancient castles. Such doors are decorated with rough elements and various rivets, which may seem to some quite original. Naturally, the facade of the house must correspond to such a choice, otherwise the old door will most likely be lost among the decoration with modern materials.

As you can see, there can be a lot of options, it is important that you like the forged door, fit the exterior and meet all the technological requirements. Only a door that meets all these aspects can make a good impression on your guests and tell you about your good taste.
