Discovering "DoorWays™": The New App From Therma-Tru®by Lauren Busser The House Designers’ Editorial Director You use your smartphone to pay for your coffee, shop for books, shoes, and even clothes. Therma-Tru® has a new way for you to shop for your entry doors. Bold entry doors are one of the new exterior trends for 2014 and now Therma-Tru® has made it even easier to envision your new entry door with the Therma-Tru® DoorWays™ app. DoorWays™ is available for your Apple® iPhone® and iPad® and is designed to bring mobile shopping and visualization together into a tool for trade professionals and homeowners. Start by tapping the DOORS or GLASS icon to choose one of your favorite collections. If you select DOORS, the app takes you to Therma-Tru’s® most popular fiberglass entry doors and then selecting GLASS will give you all corresponding glass options. It's similar to using the Build Your Door tool on the desktop website, but DoorWays™ is specifically designed for the way people shop on their mobile devices.
DoorWays™ is the first app of its kind. DoorWays™ is the first U.S. configurable entry door visualization app from the Apple App store that gives homeowners the ability to select and configure a new door and try it on for size before they commit to a purchase. The app also helps homeowners find a local dealer. Inside DoorWays™, users will find a portfolio of fiberglass doors in popular sizes, alongside decorative, privacy and specialty glass. With social media integration the app also lets users share their favorite designs and configurations with clients, friends, and family. And when you are done trying out different combinations you can send them to your nearest dealer complete with style numbers, to get more information and price quotes. Configure your door any way you want. There are built-in spaces for a door, two sidelites, and a transom. Here you can see a door configured in Therma-Tru’s® Classic-Craft® Oak Collection™ with Bella decorative glass and two matching sidelites.
Opening the app displays one of Therma-Tru’s® doors, then, gives you a blank canvas with spaces for a door, transom, and two sidelites. Clicking on the door space brings you to a menu of options from Therma-Tru’s® portfolio. After that, you can select a door style that you love. Then you can coordinate sidelites and transoms. Another menu lets you select glass for your door. Then by selecting “Picture It” you can superimpose the door over a pic of your home’s interior or exterior to get a good feel for how your door will actually look. The app also allows you to move your configured door around and change its size so you can get the visual no matter where you are standing. The app then allows you to save these creations to your camera roll so you can find them later and access all the product info for ordering. View all your saved ideas in the SAVE tab so you can visualize them in their new space later. Or, email the specs to yourself or your friends to get their opinion on your new Therma-Tru® door.
After you have configured your doors and taken your photos so you can visualize them, the app helps you locate your nearest dealer, with contact info accessible in the app, for more information and price quotes. The best part of this app is that when you build your door, the app saves all the product details your dealer needs to help you order your favorite door. This app is a very useful tool for homeowners and builder’s alike. Visualization is always an important tool when it comes to realizing your dream home and your entryway is no different. So give DoorWays™ a try and see how easy and fun it is to find your perfect entry door combination. |
