One of the first things anyone notices about a commercial business or retail outlet is the entrance. How it is designed, how welcoming it looks and how similar or different to other much the same businesses. These details send a definite message to customers.
Copper doors may be the perfect addition to your business to provide you with a unique look, a beautiful entrance, and a touch of old world class your customers are sure to appreciate. However, it is important to carefully select the company manufacturing and selling these doors as there is a significant difference in quality on the market.
Choosing a Door Company
The first step before you even start to design copper doors for your business is to do your due diligence and learn about the various door companies using this metal. Top companies will provide a copper clad door over a mahogany core, which is sure to provide a solid, durable and strong door. It is beautiful on the interior of the room as well as the exterior of the building. The thickness of the copper is an important factor. Top doors will have a copper skin as thick as a penny.
Next, look for a company offering a good selection of copper doors as well as the option to create custom doors using the material. This is particularly important if you want a business logo or a specific pattern on the door to match either the building design or your company branding.
Then, once you have those two factors in place, look at the experience the company has in copper doors. There are some door companies out there with decades of experience in creating beautiful copper doors, and these are always the companies to select.
Choosing a Design or Style
Ideally, it is helpful to design technicians affiliated with the door company if you have a starting point for your custom designed copper doors. It could be a basic door design the company has in their inventory, or it could be a pencil sketch you have prepared or even a picture of a door off the internet.
From this starting point, you will then work the design team to create the perfect copper doors for your business. They can be double or single doors and can have a textured surface or a more classic, smooth surface.
The reality is that with a top company and a great idea, you can design the custom copper doors to make your business stand out. Remember these doors will last a lifetime, so they are a great investment now and in the future.
