Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 22, 2013 10:45 pm Hello I have been agonising as you do over front doors! I need help! I am considering Jason Benchmark Aluminium and glass doors instead of the traditional wood (a 1200mm pivot was my other choice) Our house has a beach theme with the colours we chose. Dune and Grey pebble render out the front with Pearl white window frames. Are there any downfalls I should consider with Jason double doors? has anyone else done this? I have only seen it on some display homes. But at the time we were looking I didn't really take note of the doors. I may have to have another look through? thanks in advance for your input Re: Need help deciding on front door 2Nov 23, 2013 12:07 pm I'm not sure what doors you're talking about? If you choose a colour that matches the colour of the garage door, I think that would work well. Also take into consideration whether or not you'll eventually get a front door security screen. Re: Need help deciding on front door 3Nov 23, 2013 12:36 pm We've got the Jason Benchmark door in our laundry and it looks great, and a pivot door at the front. I think if you're going for a beachy look then a pivot door for the front would look better as you could stain it to tie in with that theme. I think the glass doors are a bit business looking. Re: Need help deciding on front door 4Nov 25, 2013 6:03 pm I have always wanted a big pivot door but we had trouble with the fire regs as our block is BAL 19. So my next choice was the commercial looking glass doors. I was thinking one big one on a pivot but then that was no good for the regs either. In the end we couldn't get a Corinthian wood and glass pivot but the Hulme doors were rated for the fire resistance we needed. I cannot wait to have a huge door on a pivot!! We considered painting it to match the interior but decided to keep it wood to go with the exterior. So basically I would love either of your choices Re: Need help deciding on front door 5Nov 25, 2013 6:24 pm Thanks for all of your input. I think I have decided to go with the benchmark double door instead of a hume pivot. I have kept my eye on houses on the weekend and saw many benchmark doors. All of them a dark charcoal colour and I'm after a white like the window frames. Personally I would like something slightly wider than a normal width and just one but I think I will just go the double ones Building Standards; Getting It Right!
