Choice of Doors in the Home PREVENTING DRAUGHTS On first thoughts it might appear that there would be little consideration needed in determining what type of door is most suitable for general use throughout any single house, but, if one stops to consider how mamkinds there are, and weigh their advantages and disadvantages, the matter takes on a somewhat different aspect. From the point of view of use, that door is best which is most easily operable, needs least maintenance, and takes iip the ■ least amount of space in , its operation. Unfortun- I . ately, some of these points are antagonistic, and one aiWrf"ffiWll cannot obtain them all at the same time. For ex- WIM ample, the ordinary door, |,, say 2ft. Bin. wide, opening one way, and equipped with a good latch and lock. I|||| 1 J:^f is perhaps the most easily - maintained, least liable to get out of order, and the IgBBBBSgSBgBgssBB most easily made draughtproof, or as nearly draught-proof as is practicable for a door that has to swing over rugs and carpets. But where it has to be used constantly by people carrying trays, the more expensive swing type will have to be adopted, although it is impossible to make it draught-proof, and they are much more liable to get out of order. Again, both of these take up far more room in operation than the sliding door, but here again the difficulty of preventing draughts around the edges and of rapid opening and closing militate against general use. One has to weigh pros and cons and adopt that with the least disadvantages. For example, in a wide doorway between two main rooms which are likely to be used together, most of the time with the doors open, the sliding door, which is out. of the way when open, is to be preferred, although, when closed, it cannot be made quite so tight as a folding or hinged pair of doors of some other type. To make a door draught-proof where it has to swing out over rugs and carpets necessitates either carrying the carpets through under the door and equipping the door with special weather stripping or patent dropping stop, which is seldom very satisfactory, or the placing under the door of the old-fashioned wooden threshold, which, no matter how cleverly it is bevelled at the edges, is something to stumble ' over every time one passes s \ through. Thus the problem of • draught becomes one of - . difficulty, and is being solved more and desires. Before^fine cabiafo. ne { woo( j s became general in the trimming of our houses, doors were usually painted and enamelled, and hence, to obtain interest, were often elaborately moulded. Some of these old doors are very beautiful. Modern practice, however, has tended to do away with the moulded door. For one thing, the mouldings are dust collectors and difficult and expensive to keep clean and fresh. The fashion of giving the main entrance door of me house accent and individuality by giving it a brilliant colour has been practised for many centuries and does not lose effectiveness for that reason. There is legitimate excuse for a dash of contrast in almost any extenoi colour scheme, and the front door offers an excellent place to put it. Often the whole exterior composition can be enhanced by simply altering the colour of such a door, a device of design that is well worth keeping in mind when confronted with an otherwise drab and uninteresting problem.
