Sitting Areas by Windows: Balancing Comfort and Airiness


Why Choose a Glazed External Door?

Internal glazed doors are increasingly popular in Australian homes these days, especially when people want to allow more natural sunlight to reach further into their properties. Today, interior designers will often choose glazed or half-glazed doorways for rooms like kitchens where you don't necessarily need to maintain a great deal of privacy. In addition, glazed external doors are gaining popularity among homeowners. What are the benefits of choosing glazed doors for entrance ways to go alongside your home's windows?

More Sunlight

The chief reason people like glazed external doors is to augment the degree to which sunlight can flow into a home. Natural light is better than turning on your electric bulbs during the day because of a shaded area in the home. Of course, more light is not merely about being able to see clearly. Houses with plenty of sunlight have an airier feel that makes them simply feel more homely.

Greater Security

Some people have been put off glazed external doors in the past because they think they are less secure than conventional, unglazed ones. When it comes to entrance doors, in particular, glazing has caused worries. However, the sort of glazed doors that are made these days are just as secure as anything else you could buy. Materials like aluminium are now often used to produce double glazed door and window frames which create a tough barrier for would-be intruders to get past.

Maintain Privacy

With glazed external doors which are overlooked from the street, there is now no longer any reason to compromise on your privacy. Frosted glazing and even the application of a professionally produced glazing film on the inside is much more effective at preventing prying eyes from looking into your property than you might think. Indeed, some glazed doors installed at entrances are designed to have internal blinds and louvres fitted within them these days. They mean you can control your privacy exactly as you please without compromising at all.

Create a Classy Look

Although people have fitted sliding glazed patio doors to the rear of their homes for years, more and more homeowners are now opting for more fashionable options, like French doors, for example. Twin opening French doors can make your garden feel like an extension of your house, more like an additional room rather than a separate space. The same can be said for the increasing use of bi-folding glazed doors in modern building designs. Fitting glazed doors of any kind will usually raise the resale value of your property so installing them ought to be considered as an investment.

I love window seats, small writing desks that overlook great views, quiet lamp-lit corners near windows overlooking water and almost any other window arrangement you can imagine. However, when decorating by windows, you have to be careful. You need to balance coziness and the airiness of the window.
