Single Wrought-Iron Doors Vs Double Wrought Iron Doors: Which Ones Should You Opt For?

When it comes to choosing doors for your home, wrought iron is one of the best options. The material is renowned for its timeless appeal and superior durability.

Now, when it comes to wrought-iron doors, homeowners have two options: single and double doors. The former lock in the door frame and close and open on one side while the latter are basically two single doors of varying sizes that lock together in the middle when aligned.

So, should you opt for single wrought-iron doors or double ones? The following are a few a couple of important factors to consider before you choose one.

The Size of The Doorway

The very first factor you need to take into account is the amount of space you actually have for a door. For instance, if you’re replacing a double door, the replacement needs to take up the same area as a double door. If you’re looking to switch things up and go with a single door, you may have to think about installing sidelights or a decorative frame to make up for the extra space.

You’ll also need to get a new doorjamb made because, as we mentioned, single doors lock on the side into the doorjamb.

Different Doors Shapes

When it comes to residential wrought-iron doors, there are three common door shapes that are popular among homeowners. They are:

· Straight Top: This is your standard flat door top.

· Eyebrow Top: This type of door top is like two slanted eyebrows joined together, slightly curved.

· Arched Top: This type of door top is common with double doors. It’s curved at the top so the two doors make a perfect semi-circle when aligned together.

If you’re going for a straight top, you have the option to add an arched window or a transom to add some shape and beauty.
