Many Singaporeans old enough to remember the 5C’s of success that permeated our social milieu in the 90s know that one of the C’s stands for condominium. It was supposed to represent a position of wealth, being able to afford a privately owned condominium instead of defaulting to the commonplace HDB. However, this is not the case any longer, with HDB ownership on a steady rise since 2018.
And with more new HDB owners, comes the need for more HDB interior designers, renovators and specialists. Choosing a good door is on every renovator’s bucket list, maybe even yours. So where should one begin their hunt for a suitable HDB door?
Choosing a door in fact has never been easier, due to more manufacturing companies moving into the region – giving interior designers greater options and customizability in terms of door filling, door type, handle and opening mechanism. With so many options to consider and juggle, finding a good door can be a dreary process – but fear not! We want to help, so we have collated 3 of the most important tips to secure the best HDB door for your new HDB.
Classic Door? Can’t Go Wrong
Classic doors are a staple for many homes and properties regardless of interior or style. They are sort of a jack-of-all-trades equivalent amongst the doors, and can match well with most currently popular design trends like Scandinavian, modern or minimalist designs. They can also be painted and varnished to whatever colour suits your palette, so there is room for customization!
Veneer Doors to Steal the Show
These doors have timber grain patterns that vary from door to door, so every piece is unique! Think of it as a display, capturing the natural beauty of wood on your front door. They offer a more luxurious feel to any home – which is why they sometimes are used in offices and hotels too. Worth your consideration if looking “upscale” is part of your design plan! Do be prepared for a slightly higher price tag, however.
Count on the Professionals to Seal the Deal
While doors might not be the biggest part of your renovation expense, they still are the if not one of the most durable pieces of furniture in your home. In order to protect their lifespan, hiring a professional door installation company is definitely a must. Not only because HDB doors have to be installed by HDB certified renovators, hanging a door and making sure it can stand for a good 10-20 years requires a level of professional skill that many regular handymen cannot offer.
Furthermore, professionals often have contacts with factories and suppliers from overseas. I am sure they would not mind helping you get your hands on any ideal door for your HDB if they have access, so make use of their network for the best results!
