What Makes a Designer Door

A Warm Welcome to Door City’s Designer Front Doors

Typically, every house-proud homeowner wishes to extend the warmest possible welcome to guests and visitors. The welcome starts before the visitors, as well as the home’s occupants enter; it begins when the person/s arrive at the all-important front or main entry point, even more so if it’s fitted with elegant designer front doors.

What Makes a Designer Door Special?

Nothing else implies a warm welcome quite like designer front doors that differ from run-of-the-mill products. A designer door is almost always designed by a talented, creative person or professional door designer, who specialises in conceptualising a door that’s unique and different from a stock-standard, completely plain timber product.

Designer doors may be exclusive, bespoke made-to-order, one-off products, or they may be part of a comprehensive range of designer main, entry or front doors, such as those on offer at Queensland’s door supply specialists, the Door City Group.

However, should you be unable to find the design you want in our extensive collection, bring along a picture or sketch of the front door design you want, and our Door City design team will see to the rest. Depending on your approval, we’ll custom-make your design idea.

Preferred Designer Door Suppliers

Queensland’s Door City Group’s three showrooms evolved from a single, independent family-owned door supply business, operating from our initial premises on the Sunshine Coast. In addition to supplying the public, we’ve also become a preferred door supplier of many in the building trade, architects and interior designers. 

Since our founding in 2006, we’ve remained true to our core family principles and customer-focused ethics – integrity, reasonable prices, quality products and exemplary customer service, elements that satisfy or exceed customers’ requirements, wishes and expectations.

Glass Panel Security Concerns

Many of the designer front doors that feature in our Door City entry door collection incorporate glass panes or panels of different shapes and sizes. This inclusion of glass is sometimes questioned by customers who are primarily focused on the safety and security of their homes. This concern is a very real factor nowadays.

Regulated standards pertaining to the use of glass may differ throughout different countries. However, the glass that’s incorporated in Door City’s products is carefully selected to be robust, tough, break-resistant, and shatterproof, strictly conforming to Australian legislation governing the standards and types of glass that may legally be used in doors.

Hence, the security of our designer front doors is in no way compromised by the use of relatively small or considerably larger glass panels.

Benefits of Glass Inserts in Designer Front Doors

Furthermore, a section of glass, contained seamlessly in a quality, hard-wearing solid timber frame, allows occupants to identify callers at the front door, enjoy the view to the outside and permit more natural light to brighten the home’s interior.

Lastly, the contrast between glass and timber displays the artistic design and the designer’s creative talent to perfection – an ideal way to welcome your guests and visitors, as well as your own presence when you return home after a long day at work.
