Doors and windows are a critically important step in home renovation. Choosing high-quality door and window decorative panels for installation not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your cozy home but also ensures excellent ventilation and natural lighting—making it an essential aspect of any home makeover that shouldn’t be overlooked.
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 walls—this helps maintain better natural light flow throughout the home.
Common misconception #2: "The doors and windows are still new—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 home 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: Wood door deterioration is also a significant issue in resale homes. However, if the material is sturdy and you happen to love its design, a simple repaint usually suffices to give it a fresh, new look. That said, if any of the following problems arise—such as peeling or warping of the wood—it’s clear that the wood itself has undergone structural changes, making it essential to replace the doors entirely. Keep in mind, though, that renovating wooden doors isn’t as straightforward as just applying a coat of clear varnish.
Solution: Since any base and material can be refinished, however, if the original finish was clear oil with a darker hue, applying a lighter-colored paint won’t effectively cover it—unless you first apply an even darker shade to completely conceal the existing color. On the other hand, if the surface was originally finished with a mixed oil, there are no color restrictions; you can freely choose any shade you like. If the wooden door has visible damage—such as cracks or dents in certain areas—you’ll first need to fill those damaged spots with putty, followed by sanding with fine-grit sandpaper. Only then should you apply a primer and topcoat. If the underlying surface remains undamaged, you may opt to proceed directly with painting.
