Architects’ advice when choosing the material of windows & doors for your home

Experts say that, in order for the house to retain the beauty before the impact of time, bringing feng shui and good fortune, families should pay attention when designing the main doors and windows.

Talking about this issue, architect Nguyen Van Thu from HGAA Architecture office and architect Man Duc Bao, representing Bao An Architects office – a company that has accompanied many housing design projects in Vietnam, has shared practical knowledge.

The importance of doors in the house

While windows and doors might not sound all that glamorous, they play a huge role in indoor comfort, safety, and energy efficiency. They protect your family and your belongings from extreme weather, working in tandem with the heating and cooling system to provide temperature control and optimized comfort.

Therefore, throughout the history of housing, the door has been researched and developed with many shapes and materials, especially when people increasingly attach great importance to comfortable living conditions and aesthetics. If in the past, when production technology was not developed, there was only wood material to make doors, then over time, we witnessed the development of diverse materials for doors such as plastic, iron, stainless steel, glass or aluminum.
Architect Man Duc Bao, the representative of the office of architect Bao An, said: “Depending on the architectural style of each house to use doors with appropriate materials: classic style suits doors made of wood material, modern style suits metal glass doors, minimalist style can choose plastic door, etc.”

Aluminum is a popular material for windows & doors nowadays

In terms of materials, each has different advantages and disadvantages. It is clear that the wood material is well insulated, but it is easy to warp or be termite over time. Iron, on the other hand, has an aesthetic advantage, but is poor dust resistant, poor soundproof, easy to peel off paint and rust.

Comparing more about materials, architect Nguyen Van Thu said: “When designing buildings in Vietnam, we are very concerned about the sustainability of the house to climate change and safety when using use. Because Vietnam’s climate changes with each season, it is very important to choose a door that responds to the impact of the external climate ”.

With features suitable for Vietnam’s complex climate, aluminum doors seem to be gradually becoming the dominant choice and replace traditional wood or plastic door

Aluminum doors are durable, suitable for all environmental and weather conditions. This material is less affected by external influences due to its better water resistance than wooden doors, and better resistance to sunlight and wind than plastic doors. “Because aluminum doors are not easily oxidized, nor are they deformed, yellowed in the conditions of solar radiation or rain, this door has a much longer life expectancy than other materials” – Representative of Bao An’s office share. According to him, using aluminum material will keep the original beauty intact during use.
