Can you get security doors that will match the aesthetic of your building, rather than standing out for the wrong reasons? Yes...
While many buildings require security doors, personnel doors and fire doors, there are plenty of times that the aesthetics of the building are compromised by ugly or ill-matching standard door designs.
So, can the required doors ever be anything but an eyesore?
It is absolutely possible to combine security with design. Taskmaster have worked on a variety of projects where we have manufactured doors specifically to fit seamlessly within the design of a building - no matter what the building looks like.
While glazed entrances are generally more attractive than heavy-duty security doors, there are plenty of ways to make the more robust doors work beautifully, or blend into the background, depending on the building.
With a manufacturing plant in the UK, we are able to quickly and effectively design doors to meet the needs of a building project, both in terms of the look of the doors and the functional requirements they must meet.
At the Heathrow UTC building, we created bespoke perforated external doors to match the cladding of one of the unique features in the building design.
We also have a range of finishing options, allowing us to create a door that fits the building aesthetic. Everything from colour to cladding can make a real difference to how a door fits into the overall look, and choosing the appropriate finish turns a functional item into a key part of the building.
Often when steel doors appear to be an eyesore, it’s because they’re starting to look shabby or unkempt. Untidy doors can really bring down the look of a building - everything from scratches, stains, dents and dings will affect the aesthetics of the door.
Compare the look of old, unkempt doors to new, well-designed doors - they really do give a completely different feel to a building:
When a door starts to look shabby, it also affects how much of a deterrent it will be to attack. While its function may not be compromised (although unmaintained doors may well not perform at their best), a door that looks uncared for tells potential thieves that security is not a priority, and acts more as an enticement than as a deterrent.
If your building has ugly doors that bring down the whole look, why not get in touch and see if Taskmaster can provide something that adds to your building rather than detracts from it. If your doors are starting to look a little worse for wear, it’s the perfect time to replace them with something designed just for you.
