DOORS

Doors - Types and Material

There are various points to be kept in mind while having a door constructed or selecting a ready-made one. A door's function determines the material from which it is made, how it looks and how it works.

The front door or the door that has to provide security has to be made from heavy material and should have durable, effective locks and joints. Internal doors in the north and east directions which let in light or look out on to the yard, such as French doors, could have multiple glass panes. A sliding door may be made almost entirely of glass. the main entrance door has to be far attractive, solid and huge than interior doors, at the same time it may also be more decorative than the interior doors. The suggested material for the main door is wood. Mayamatam suggests that the main door can be strengthened with the help of various metals. It is important to have a threshold for the main door. The threshold can regulate the powerful ground energies into the building and its various rooms. It can also act as a block for the negative energies coming from outside.
