Window and door renovation is a crucial step in home remodeling. Choosing high-quality decorative panels for installation not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your cozy home but also ensures optimal ventilation and natural lighting. Below, our editor will walk you through three common misconceptions about window and door renovations, helping you sidestep potential issues during the process.
Common Misconception #1: Consumers often prefer enclosing their balconies to convert them into kitchens, believing it maximizes the use of valuable space. However, this practice actually compromises the home’s ventilation and airflow, while also making it harder for cooking fumes to dissipate—leading to buildup of grease and grime over time.
Solution: After enclosing the balcony, it’s best to design the space as an open layout, avoiding separating the balcony from the living room with a solid wall—this helps maintain better natural light throughout the home.
Common Misconception 2: "The doors and windows are still new, so there's no need to replace them—saving you unnecessary expenses." However, hidden issues with doors and windows aren't always easy to spot with the naked eye. That’s why we still recommend replacing them during your renovation project.
Solution: During home renovations, removing doors and windows can easily damage both interior and exterior walls. Therefore, it’s best to replace the doors and windows first before proceeding with other renovation work. Consumers should also carefully choose brand-name profiles, as the quality of these profiles will significantly influence the overall grade and longevity of the entire window and door system. When selecting profiles, avoid being misled by manufacturers into purchasing low-quality or counterfeit products—and definitely don’t be tempted by cheap deals. Instead, we recommend shopping at reputable retail stores, where product quality is more reliably assured. This is especially true for PVC and steel-aluminum doors and windows, where a bit of extra care in your selection can make all the difference.
Common misconception #3: Door aging is also a significant issue in second-hand homes. However, if the material is durable and you happen to love its design, a simple repaint usually restores it to like-new condition. That said, if you notice any of the following problems—such as peeling or warping in the doors and windows—it’s a clear sign that the material itself has deteriorated. In such cases, replacement is essential. Keep in mind, though, that window and door renovations aren’t as straightforward as just applying clear coat; proper restoration often requires more than that.
Response method: Since any base and material can be refinished, however, if the original finish was clear oil with a darker tone, applying a lighter-colored paint won’t effectively cover it—unless you first apply an even darker shade to completely mask the existing color. On the other hand, if the surface was originally finished with a mixed oil coating, there are no color restrictions; you can freely choose any shade you like. If the doors or windows have damaged surfaces—such as cracks or dents in certain areas—you should first fill those compromised spots with putty, sand them smooth, and then apply a primer followed by the topcoat. If the underlying surface remains intact and undamaged, you may opt to proceed directly with painting.
