The Villages FL is one of the most popular retirement communities in Florida. It is a safe, clean neighborhood with affordable housing options and local services. Residents are a golf cart ride away from restaurants, shops, and other amenities.
There is entertainment for residents all year round at the three Town Squares. You can also enjoy broadway-quality shows at the Sharon L. Morse Performing Arts Center.
Energy Efficiency
Your entry door makes the first impression guests have of your home, but it also plays a major role in keeping your energy costs down. In fact, the right door can help you save up to 10% on heating and cooling.
The material and construction of your front door play a big role in its energy efficiency. Wood doors can warp and rot over time, which compromises their insulating properties. Fibreglass and steel doors are better insulators, as they are durable and often feature a foam core.
If you’re shopping for a new entry door for your home, look for a model with an R-value of between R-5 and R-6 excluding the window. This indicates the door is well insulated and will help you keep your energy bills low. Choose a model that has an ENERGY STAR label for additional peace of mind. The ENERGY STAR label provides a door’s solar heat gain coefficient and U-factor rating, which will help you compare products.
Style
Your front door is one of the first things guests notice, so you want it to look amazing. A custom home builder can suggest beautiful styles and designs for doors, but it is up to you to decide what style suits your Florida lifestyle home best.
One popular option is the contemporary door. This type of door is characterized by sleek lines and clean raised panels or panes that are square in shape. This door is perfect for modern homes and complements their minimalist aesthetic.
Another eye-catching entry door option is the arched door. This style can be traditional, contemporary, or anything else and adds a distinctive flair to your home.
