The design of doors and windows is something that any customer attaches great importance to. Because if the style of the designed doors and windows is beautiful, has good aesthetic value and practical value, then the building will have a higher value and the selling price of the building can be increased. Whether it is in commercial housing, villas, high-end apartments, garden houses, seaside villas, etc., the doors and windows designed with this high-end aesthetic are used. On the one hand, it can effectively enhance the value of the house, and on the other hand, the exterior design will attract consumers.
Coordinate with the overall style
Select colors according to the style: The modern minimalist style often uses cool tones, such as matte black, fluorocarbon gray, champagne gold, etc., which can create a simple and fashionable atmosphere. The new Chinese style mainly features dark and stable colors. Colors like red sandalwood, golden oak, and teak can show solemnity, and glass textures with Chinese elements can also be added. The pastoral style pursues freshness and nature, and colors like silver silk white wood and ash can be chosen. In terms of style selection, try to provide foreign customers with more color or style options. For example, when installing in commercial stores, try to choose doors and windows with brighter colors. Whether it is the size design or the style design, it should be brighter to attract consumers’ attention. The installation style needs to be outstanding and distinctive, and match the purpose of the building’s use.
Select the style according to the apartment type: For large apartments, choosing the light luxury style, modern style, and new Chinese style can better show the texture; for small apartments, choosing the Japanese style, Nordic style, retro style, etc. is more warm. The simple style is relatively versatile and the cost is moderate. Choose the windows according to the installed apartment type, because different apartment types show different styles, so appropriate choices should be made according to the style of the apartment type. And some customers may request to have doors and windows of different styles.
Optimize the facade design
Pay attention to proportion coordination: The aspect ratio of a single glass panel should preferably be close to the golden ratio, and the height is generally 1/4 to 1/5 of the frame height. Regarding the proportional details of the doors and windows, specific problems in the details should be considered to design symmetrical and beautiful doors and windows.
Pay attention to the division rules: The facade division of doors and windows should not only have rules but also reflect changes. Equal-distance and equal-size division shows rigor and solemnity; unequal-distance and free division shows rhythm and liveliness. The horizontal division lines of the doors and windows on the same room and the same wall should be as much as possible on the same horizontal line, and the vertical lines should be aligned as much as possible.
Choose the right window type
Floor-to-ceiling window design: Nowadays, many families tend to choose the mode of “large glass + casement window” or “left casement window + glass + right casement window”, which not only meets the ventilation needs but also does not affect the viewing area. Common types of floor-to-ceiling windows include U-shaped floor-to-ceiling windows, which can expand the space of the living room and leisure area and have excellent light transmission and lighting effects; one-line/L-shaped floor-to-ceiling windows are more common, suitable for living rooms and enclosed balconies, with good sealing effects, which can improve lighting and ensure performance; curved floor-to-ceiling windows increase the decorative and visual effects, making the space look larger visually.
Special window type design: For example, the wide-angle window is composed of a landscape window protruding from the exterior wall and the left and right beveled window surfaces, which has a wide-angle view and large-area lighting, and the window sill can also be used as a storage area; the single-sided window with a beveled design can extend the view and embrace the greenery; the long upward-pushing window is both beautiful and can prevent rain; the large glass folding window can save space and provide completely open ventilation and lighting. For those special apartment types, specific problems should be analyzed specifically, and all the space should be utilized as much as possible to design doors and windows suitable for these apartment types.
Enhance the appearance of the doors
For interior doors, casement/sliding doors, partitions/screens, wired glass, etc. can be used to present a variety of aesthetic effects such as transparency and brightness, frosted privacy, carved textures, and ink painting effects, adding luster to the home. In addition to the door frames and glass, the appearance of the doors and windows can also be enhanced in these aspects. Because the carving of details and the installation of detailed parts are also important reasons for making the entire door and window more harmonious and regular.
Consider the material and surface treatment
Material selection: Wooden doors and windows are natural and warm, suitable for traditional styles; aluminum alloy doors and windows have a strong modern feel, are corrosion-resistant, and are suitable for the modern minimalist style; plastic steel doors and windows have high cost performance and good thermal insulation performance.
Surface treatment: Processes such as spraying and anodizing can increase the durability and beauty of doors and windows, make the surface of doors and windows smoother, the color more uniform, and also provide a variety of color options.
Match the glass and hardware accessories
Glass selection: Transparent glass can seamlessly connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, increasing the visual spaciousness; frosted glass or colored glass can provide privacy protection. Double or triple insulating glass not only has good thermal insulation performance but also can effectively reduce noise. When choosing glass, choose the kind of glass that makes the space feel more spacious and has high light transmittance, which can save energy effectively. It can make our doors and windows more valuable; due to the high light transmittance, daily office work can be carried out well without turning on the lights during the day, which is very good for saving energy for the property owners.
Hardware accessories: Exquisite handles, hinges and other hardware accessories can be the finishing touch of the door and window design, improving the overall aesthetics, and at the same time ensuring the smooth opening and closing of the doors and windows.
