Known for entrances that make a statement and the soaring walls of windows, the Honest Abe Log Home design team and our sales consultants and Independent Dealers work with homeowners to select windows and doors that help define the log cabin, log home or timber frame home.
Timber frame homes can be compatible with a variety of doors and windows. Some popular options for timber frame homes include:
- Wooden doors: Wooden doors can be made to match the timber frame of the home and provide a natural, cohesive look.
- Steel doors: Steel doors are strong and durable, and they can also be painted to match the exterior of the home.
- Fiberglass doors: Fiberglass doors are low-maintenance and energy-efficient, and they can be made to mimic the look of wood.
- Sliding glass doors: Sliding glass doors can be a great option for timber frame homes, as they allow for plenty of natural light and can provide a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
- Casement windows: Casement windows are hinged on one side and open outward, making them a good choice for ventilation. They can also be made with energy-efficient glass.
- Double-hung windows: Double-hung windows have two sashes that can be opened and closed, making them a versatile option for timber frame homes. They can also be made with energy-efficient glass.
There are several options for improving the security of your home:
- Install a security system: Security systems can include sensors on doors and windows, as well as cameras that can be monitored remotely. Many systems can be controlled via a smartphone app, allowing you to arm or disarm the system and receive alerts when there is activity at your home.
- Use deadbolts: Deadbolts are a simple and effective way to secure your doors. They are harder to pick or force open than standard doorknob locks.
- Install window locks: Window locks can prevent windows from being opened from the outside, making it more difficult for an intruder to enter your home.
- Use outdoor lighting: Motion-sensing outdoor lighting can deter burglars and make it easier for you to see anyone who approaches your home.
- Trim trees and bushes: Trimming trees and bushes near windows and doors can improve visibility and make it more difficult for an intruder to hide.
- Get a dog: A barking dog can be an effective deterrent for burglars. Even a small, noisy dog can make a big difference.
- Use smart home devices: Smart home devices, such as smart locks and smart security cameras, can help you monitor and control access to your home.
