It’s no secret that with the pandemic driving more people indoors, home improvement projects are more popular than ever as homeowners work to spruce up their frequented living spaces. Addressing the state of your windows and doors can do more than just improve your curb appeal. Money spent on window and door replacement is far-reaching. Modern doors can enrich your investment while upgrading your energy efficiency and comfort, improving soundproofing, and bettering your home’s air quality. Quality Window & Door is primed and ready with the current window and door trends of 2021 to keep our customers apprised of what’s in demand.
Anodization is a chemical process that changes the color of a metal. Anodized aluminum windows are popular because they offer a shiny aluminum look but with a different color tone. Because the process does not include any paint, the color is steadfast and will not fade over time.
Homeowners are installing larger windows in 2021 to bring more natural light into their living spaces. Taller and wider window openings offer that sense of connection with the outside world that so many crave with all the extra time in. And that additional dose of vitamin D from the extra sunlight can give your immunity the added boost it needs.
Reducing frustration in times of stress is key for promoting well-being. Struggling to open a window because of poor lever design shouldn’t be something that adds to the complexities of life. Well, say goodbye to stiff levers and cranks that are crippling your windows’ functionality. Innovation has led window engineers to design options like the Easy Slide Operator. The ESO offers an easy finger-based movement to open or shut windows and is especially popular among senior populations.
Due to the rise in popularity of the modern-traditional home, requests for black window frames are on the rise. In fact, one product line, the fiberglass Impervia, has experienced a 200% increase in the past few years. 2021 is showing no shift from this popular window installation trend.
Indoor-outdoor living spaces allow residents to repurpose common areas for the flexibility they desire for home exercise, gathering, meditation, rest, and recuperation. Achieving this adaptability is easier than one might think with custom window installation. Window installers can replace smaller windows with a larger slider or pass-through window alternative.
As more and more of us seek to reduce our 2020 anxiety, the trend toward lightweight curtain designs is gathering momentum. Today’s designs are lighter, less traditional, and with varying textures that conjure ease. Modern design mixed with minimalist characteristics is also becoming more common.
This old trend is coming back with a vengeance. Steel finish doors offer a modern, clean look, and it may be a timeless one too if it catches on strongly. The bold, industrial look is quite popular.
Make a statement by coloring your entry door a statement color. This can be done well and be quite engaging. Make sure you tie in the look but don’t be afraid to go bold.
Full-height doors, also referred to as ceiling doors, are a popular door installation choice for 2021. Made with a variety of materials, colors and textures, full-height doors make quite the statement. The draw to full-height doors is both their sleek, modern look and their ability to visually lengthen the ceiling, giving the illusion that a room is larger than it is.
The draw towards inviting natural light into a living space continues with glass door installation. Lighting can alter the mood of a room, adding energy and vitality to prior dead spaces. Glass doors also increase the spatiality of a room allowing for more unencumbered living.
Ecology and sustainability are two common buzzwords of our day, so it is no wonder that they influence our architecture. A move towards doors that have low environmental impact is a strong 2021 door installation trend. Solid, natural wood doors, PVC frames (100% recyclable), and wooden doors support sustainability while promoting energy efficiency.
Black exterior doors aren’t a new trend, but they’ve become so popular that some manufacturers are now adding a black interior finish as well. This is a contemporary look that is also timeless. If you’re going for something clean, embrace this 2021 door trend.
Sliding doors that can be installed both inside and outside the wall are another popular 2021 door installation trend. Sliding doors are chosen for their space-saving design along with their ability to make a living space more multi-purpose.
