I AM REAL ESTATE

I am the basis of all wealth, the heritage of the wise, the thrifty and prudent.

I am the poor man’s joy and comfort, the rich man’s prize, the right hand of capital, the silent partner of many thousands of successful men.

I am the solace of the widow, the comfort of old age, the cornerstone of security against misfortune and want. I am handed down to children through generations as a thing of greatest worth.

I am the choicest fruit of toil. Credit respects me, yet I am humble. I stand before every man bidding him know me for what I am and possess me.

I am growing in value through countless days. Though I seem dormant, my worth increases, never failing, never ceasing. Time is my aid and population heaps up my gain. Fire and the elements I defy, for they cannot destroy me.

I am trustworthy. I am sound. The thriftless speak ill of me. The charlatans of finance attack me. Unfailingly I triumph and detractors are disproved.

I am producer of food, the basis for ships and factories, the foundations of banks. Minerals and oils come from me.

I am so common that thousands, unthinkingly and unknowingly, pass me by.

I am increasing in strength. The centuries find me younger. My possessors learn to believe in me, invariably they become envied. While all things wither and decay. I survive.

How to Choose What Type of Door is Best for Different Exposures?

When choosing a door style, the location and exposure of the door unit must be taken into account. If your door does not have an overhang that hangs out equal in distance to the height of the door unit then that would be considered high exposure. Also which direction the door faces must be taken into account. Doors that face East or West will be subjected to the morning or evening sun and will likely have more trouble with the finish over time. The exposure to the elements will heavily affect your door and require more regular maintenance and refinishing, Below I am listing three exposure categories and I will make recommendations for each.

HIGH EXPOSURE

High exposure is when the overhang is not equal in distance to the height of the door, and direct East or West facing: In these applications, we highly recommend an all fiberglass or aluminum clad door unit. Also it would be far less maintenance to paint the units with a quality paint. Staining doors in a high exposure area usually requires extensive maintenance sometimes as often as bi-yearly.

MEDIUM EXPOSURE

Medium exposure is when the door is under a good overhang but still facing East or West: In this exposure a custom wood door will work just fine if painted. Staining will still require more regular maintenance due to the direct morning or evening sun, although it can be done. Fiberglass doors or aluminum clad doors are great options here as well.

MODERATE EXPOSURE

Moderate exposure is when the door is under a deep porch facing North or South): This exposure opens up far more options. Staingrade wood doors, staingrade fiberglass doors, as well as any of those products in paint grade. The protection from the elements provides far more flexibility in materials and finishes.
