This zodiac sign principle is followed by many vastukaars but it is
desirable to fix main door or gate in favourable
position instead of following Zodiac sign of
owner , as the house will be occupied by his
descendents also for generations.
Door
A door is a hinged, sliding or folding barrier
of wood, metal, glass for opening and closing an
entrance to a building or room. But now the
definition for the doors has changed as first
impressions are the lasting ones and the front
entry makes a statement about the house. It is
something that we pass through million times in
our lives, from day we enter this world to day
we leave, it. The most utilitarian of
architectural elements, the DOOR is undoubtedly
the most influential. Whether it is for light,
warmth, ventilation, access or a view, a
well-planned door can have a dramatic impact on
your living space.
Door dimensions vary from region to region
depending on the context to its usage. The
primary purpose of the door was to defend, today
we have a panorama of door designs.
Designers must deliver highly detailed,
beautiful and imaginative doors. The
responsibility of the designer does not stop at
creating a appealing thing, but it must also
extend to create a sensory experience from the
door knobs to each and element used in there.
We can categorize the doors in seven different
categories , each of them is discussed below.
Entry doors: The front door is usually
the most eye catching feature of a house. The
entrance doors should need to be in relation to
the style of their surroundings. Whether viewed
from inside or outside, they become an integral
part of a home's design. They can vary from
modern glass door to gothic style, from multi
panelled to arched door.
Interior doors: Interior doors help to
connect rooms and sometime it varies from simple
flush door to traditional and glass doors.
Interior doors need not be impenetrable
barriers, frosted or bevelled glass doors allow
the sunshine to come yet seal off the noise and
the view.
Glass doors: A glass door design should
reflect the sensuous sophistication and detailed
elegance. Decorative glass is a very good option
to door units. Whether it is stained, beveled,
etched, mirrored, painted or sand blasted, they
can turn the door into a work of art. The
patterned glass panels diffuse the light and
fill the room with a bright but less intense
glow.
Metal doors: These doors are impressive
for their intricate and bold surfaces. They can
withstand hard use in both interior and exterior
application. Copper, bronze, brass and pewter
are the metals finishes for the door.
Carved doors: In classically designer
houses, the door is treated as a showpiece, thus
carved decorations are seen here. With these
doors, elegance and permanence are a reality,
not just a façade. These highly ornamented
carved wooden panels are originally intended for
a grand house.
Paneled doors: These doors can be
elaborately molded and exuberantly carved,
painted and glided. These doors cope well with
most weather conditions and need virtually no
maintenance. In these doors, a distinct impact
is created through fine joinery and sensitive
use of material and design.
French doors: French or sliding doors
help link living space and garden while doubling
as view walls. A sense of accessibility is
always achieved through these doors.
