An Enchanting Entry
Entry
doors do more than provide security and insulation to a home.
When done right, entry doors make a statement,
provide visual emphasis, and define the personality of your home. The
entrance doors to a home are also an important factor in remodeling, especially
today, when homeowners want to maximize the value and eye appeal of their
houses.
“Remodels are a rapidly growing part of our business,” says
Chris Smith, general manager of Cantera Doors in Bonita Springs. “By
adding updated entrance doors, gates, a balcony, homeowners can revitalize
their front entryways. Our products add both value and eye appeal to what
may, at first, have looked like an outdated home.”
The Austin, Texas-based Cantera Doors offer products in a vast variety
of styles, from Mediterranean and Spanish to contemporary. Because Cantera
Doors is the nation's premier manufacturer of handcrafted wrought iron
products, they can produce doors to fit any design concept and dimension.
Cantera representatives work with builders, contractors, designers, home
and business owners to gather technical specifications and ideas. This
information is then communicated directly to their award-winning CAD Design
Department, to guarantee that the final product is both technically accurate
and beautiful.
Once a design has been decided upon, the doors are made at Cantera’s
95,000 square foot manufacturing facility near Monterrey, Mexico, utilizing
the latest technology and premium materials. The elements of any design
concept can also be reproduced in other Cantera products, including gates,
wine doors, railings, lighting and decorative inserts.
According to Smith, “Another major benefit to our doors is that
in our climate, which produces high humidity and salt levels, iron doesn’t
warp. Our entry doors are hand-forged and custom faux-finished to prevent
oxidation. Door designs are available in single and double units and with
an arch top.
“Other high end doors, such as those made from solid wood, need
refinishing as often as twice a year, which is both time-consuming and
expensive. Our doors have a 5-year structural warranty. That, coupled
with the fact that iron doesn’t warp or swell, means that Cantera
Doors offer the best of both worlds – they are both beautiful and
maintenance-free.”
Bring your home up-to-date by asking Cantera Doors to create a timeless
work of art for you. From Old World to contemporary designs, all of their
wrought-iron creations are custom-made to suit any home and decor.
