The focal point of most homes in Massachusetts is the front entry way. Traditional style homes from the classic capes to the colonials are truly iconic in New England. If you’re looking to improve that front entry way on your home, it may be time to add a little of your own character to the exterior of your home. Custom colors by Sherwin-Williams can be added to your new front entry way door straight from the manufacturer. Luckily, Coastal Windows & Exteriors is the one stop-shop to design and purchase the front door of your dreams. With the vast amount of door styles and glass packages through the top door manufacturers in America (Provia and Thermatru), the options seem to be limitless. The benefits of committing to that door of your dreams through Coastal Windows & exteriors are:
- Increasing your energy efficiency – If you have a split foyer, large foyer or a hallway leading to your front door replacing your old front door with a new energy-efficient front entry way could be the best investment for decreasing your heating and cooling bills.
- Keeping the doors warranty – Let’s face it, warranties now a days can be very tricky. From most door manufactures, just putting a storm door over their entry door can void the warranty. Painting or altering the door in any way can also void your entry doors warranty. By purchasing your entry door through the manufacture with the custom paint job you’ve always dreamed of is the best way to be assured that your door is 100% covered for the lifetime of your warranty.
- Strong, tough, durable finish – Entry doors must be tough enough to withstand wind, rain, scorching sun, and would-be intruders, yet handsome enough to make a good first impression. The color and finish of your door must be as tough as the door itself. Take Provia’s paint process for an example:
- Base Coat (Prime Paint) A 2-part urethane, catalyst-hardened base coat is applied by a robotic reciprocating paint system
- Oven-Cured Base coat is oven-cured for lasting durability
- Finish Coat The door is then coated with a 2-part urethane, catalyst-hardened finish coat using our state-of-the-art electrostatic application
- Oven-Cured The door is oven-cured a second time, creating a long-lasting, durable finish
- With that process being shown, do you think that a contractor or you can provide that type of finish while painting the door on site? I think not.
- Color Matched to Perfection – Are you a super-fan of a college or professional sport? Do you have a favorite item that you would like to pay tribute to? Looking for the perfect Crimson color to pay homage to your alma-mater? Look no further than our Sherwin-Williams color match/color selection guide.
