Why should your entry door look like all of the other doors on your block?
A few simple exterior enhancements to your home, including your door can significantly raise the curb appeal and value of your property. Accentuating your entry door is one of the simplest home improvement projects you can embark on to add a little oomph and a whole lot of character to your home.
This is why Exterior Medics offers designer accent exterior products like door surrounds from Mastic Home Exteriors by Ply Gem. Mastic door surrounds and accents are made of high-performance polymers that have the look of real wood, but are much more durable and easy to maintain.
There are door surround systems for every architectural style and personal taste.
Here are eight of the most popular surrounds and accents to add to your Northern Virginia entry door.
1. Pediment Set
The pediment set includes a pediment, a triangular, decorative piece that sits atop your door frame, as well as column-like pilasters. The set gives your ordinary door the look of a Federalist-style or colonial-style home.
2. Door Surround Mantel
Another good choice for a colonial or even an arts and crafts-style home is our door surround mantel system. This system features a decorative mantel that forms the upper door frame along with pilasters and even frames for side lights.
3. Door Mantel Overlay
The door mantel overlay is an accent piece that sits in the middle of the mantel and draws the eye to punctuate the decorative door framing.
4. 96" Pilaster Set
These Mastic entry door accessories are 96" tall and can be combined with the mantel, and pediment, if desired.
Pilasters are tall column-like pieces that attach to both sides of your door frame, giving your door a decorative, formal, almost Grecian look.
5. 144" Pilaster Set
The 144" pilaster set is similar to the 96" pilaster set, but designed for taller doors.
6. 120" Window Mantel System
The 120" mantel, looks similar to the standard sized decorative mantel, but is designed to go atop not only the exterior door, but also two side windows that frame the entry.
7. 60" Dentil Strip
This dentil molding strip works with garage door surround systems to give the door a Federalist or colonial look. Dentil molding is notable for its tooth-like design and adds additional eye appeal to your garage door system. Dentil molding is also available to accompany a mantel for a front entry door.
8. Keystone for Mantel System
A keystone is a "V"-shaped decorative accent piece with a flat base. This piece, similar to the door mantel overlay, can be used to adorn any door mantel and adds an additional distinctive touch to your front entry door or your garage door.
