 Garage Door Impressions from the Street (Literally)

OK, you’ve picked your perfect home with the perfect hardware (you’ve been listening to me!).  You know how important that first impression is.  Your front door is magnificent with hardware to die for.  You’ve done you home work and you’ve coordinated your hardware though out your home.  Congratulations!  Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

But wait.  Do you have a street facing garage door? And what percentage of the front of the house does that door represent?  Hum.  What was that thing about first impressions?  But it’s just a garage door after all.  People are looking at the rest of your magnificent house.  Yea – right.  Just a short drive up your driveway and there it is looming over you.  Not to mention everyone can see it from a mile away.  So perhaps it’s more significant than you may think.  Plus it is often given the least consideration of the exterior of the house and is yet often the most prominent.  But there is hope.

Want the look of a carriage house door but have an overhead door setup?  Consider aluminum strap hinges and aluminum handles.  You have added a great look with very little weight on your overhead motor.  Well, what can I say? You’ve done it.  Magnificent.

There are many solutions to this simple problem.  Aluminum strap hinges and aluminum handles are just one easy fix.  Consider ring pull handles, fleur-de-lis handles, or more decorative strap hinges and door studs. The list of ideas is endless and the look from the street will be beautiful.

Picking the Correct Shutter Hardware

 

Beautiful working shutters and hardware can be both a magnificent first impression and a saving grace in the event of storms, high winds, and hurricanes.

Plus the curb appeal of functional working shutters with aesthetically correct shutter hardware cannot be over estimated.

Functional shutters can be works of art that stand alone to enhance the beauty of any home.

 But add the right hardware to achieve the look and feel of historically correct function and you have also added protection.

 

Poorly designed, low quality hardware on traditional shutters becomes both a security issue, and a maintenance problem.

When considering shutter hardware for your home, consider the environment.

Is your application sea side or coastal, requiring rust resistant Components?

Are your shutters large and heavy, requiring heavy duty large diameter pintles? Will your shutters face high wind, for example on a cliff side or wind buffeted bluff in a saltwater environment?

 

Plus if you live in a hurricane zone find out about hurricane resistant hardware.

Attention to these details will save $$$   for maintence, and may save your home from major hurricane damage.

 

Complete shutter hardware systems address shutter closure, shutter rattle caused by wind, and provide adequate protection in storms.

 

Shutter hardware does so much more that the average homeowner may be aware of.  Make yourself aware before you invest and give yourself the knowledge you need to make the right decision.

 

Correct shutter hardware speaks to the heart of your sense of design and detail.  And just as importantly it speaks to your knowledge of quality.

Beautiful Hardware Makes the Difference Between

Home-Hum and Be-Dazzle

 

 

Many homebuyers leave the selection of decorative hardware to the last minute, perhaps because it is seen as a detail that can cut overall costs rather than an enhancement. 

 

For example, front door hardware can be a striking first impression.  However, a cheap selection could leave an impression you may not have intended.  After investing heart and soul into a home, a last minute decision of hardware could be disappointing.  Begin your hardware selection at the ‘beginning’ with the help of your designer or builder and you can match your home and hardware effortlessly. 

 

By helping the homeowner understand the importance and impression that hardware adds to a home, the designer and builder can help dress out the home to perfection in an easy process from the start, coordinating quality, finish and style.
