Inotherm's Front Doors Put Yours to Shame

By Rain Noe - April 1, 2014

I bet you didn't realize this, but your front door sucks. Yes, it does. It's made out of steel or wood or even worse, steel disguised to look like wood. It offers little thermal insulation, your neighbors can hear you arguing through it, and burglars can easily kick it in. Even worse, it's just plain ugly.

The 85mm-thick doors by Slovenia-based Inotherm, on the other hand, don't suck at all. They're made out of 3mm-thick sheets of folded aluminum with polyurethane sealed inside to offer a winning blend of both thermal and sound insulation. The escutcheons are made of stainless steel and designed to protect against drilling and turning. And most importantly, they're way better-looking than your lousy door.

You see what I mean? Look at these doors, then go look at yours, then take a long look in the mirror and tell me if you like what you see. Who is that person staring back at you, with such an inferior means of domestic ingress? Is this the person you set out to be in life?

So hopefully you've now realized your front door sucks. Don't let it hit you in the ass on the way out.

OMG these are ugly. I would rather have no front door than one of these.

They're a little busy... I'd love to see some with this type of construction but a little more toned down. You don't need 5 different colors and 18 panels on a door...

*My* front door is 2.5" thick local Douglas Fir with five-point locking and certain... security measures. So no, it doesn't suck.

These doors would be very, very suited to high-end commercial buildings or perhaps modernist residences.

This will look great on my tuscan-style villa! Is this door really better?

Looks awesome and wonderfully constructed..except it won't go on my 1925 Colonial Revival home. Guess I'll just have to stick with oak.
