Secure, warm or smart? What kind of doors are customers looking for today?

Modern entrance doors are no longer just about protection against cold and burglars – they have become an element of design, comfort, and intelligent home solutions. Just like industries such as automotive, telecommunications, or pharmaceuticals are evolving, so is the construction industry.

What requirements must an entrance door meet today to satisfy modern customers’ expectations? WIŚNIOWSKI – a European leader in the production of gates, doors, windows, and fencing systems – shares its perspective and the purchasing preferences of German customers.

1. Design: Doors that match any architecture and character

The entrance door is the calling card of a house – it catches the eye and invites you in. Aesthetics play a crucial role here and are often the most important criterion for customers. WIŚNIOWSKI clients particularly appreciate the CREO collection – minimalist, flush door leaves with the option to individually customize colors, models, and accessories. This way, the doors become an integral part of modern architecture. For those looking for a more affordable solution that still meets optimal requirements for security, thermal insulation, and design, WIŚNIOWSKI offers the NOVA and NOBE models.

2. Thermal insulation: Energy efficiency starts at the doorstep

With rising energy costs, thermal insulation has become one of the key parameters – especially in Germany, a pioneer in implementing European regulations on building insulation aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions. WIŚNIOWSKI offers models with a heat transfer coefficient (Ud) as low as 0.8 W/m²K – ensuring noticeable savings and year-round thermal comfort. Modern doors are therefore “warm,” airtight, and capable of keeping heat inside even during cold winters.

3. Smart: Doors that thinking for you

Today, modern construction is inseparable from smart solutions. For particularly demanding users, WIŚNIOWSKI offers intelligent door models – PIRUE, CREO, and NOVA – equipped with the Autotronic or Multitronic io electric lock. With smartCONNECTED technology, the door can be integrated into the home system along with the garage door, roller shutters, or lighting – all controlled through a single app.

In practice, this means you can schedule when the door opens or grant remote access to guests. The system is based on the TaHoma® Switch hub, which allows control of door functions via a mobile app, buttons, or voice commands. This is an ideal solution for anyone already using devices with ZigBee 3.0 or io-homecontrol technology, creating a functional smart home ready for the future.

When is it worth choosing a smart door?

This solution is ideal for modern investments – German customers most often choose it for single-family houses with smart-home systems, but as the manufacturer highlights, many models have also been installed in commercial buildings and offices. These doors are suitable wherever comfort, prestige, security, and smart-home compatibility are important. Thanks to their high insulation and tightness, smart doors also contribute to energy savings and eliminate weak points in the structure (e.g., traditional mechanical cylinders).

Additionally, customers value extra “intelligent” features such as:

• Keyless access – open the door remotely, for example, when the children return from school or when you want to let the delivery person in.
• Security and control – check whether the doors are locked and receive notifications about any status changes.
• Automation – create scenarios such as automatic locking when leaving the house or unlocking when approaching the property.
• Ease of use – a quiet mechanism and simple opening/closing – especially important for children, seniors, and people with reduced mobility.
• Integrated ecosystem – with the TaHoma® Switch hub, doors can be linked with lighting, alarms, roller shutters, or garage doors.

Doors that combine form, function, and technology

The entrance doors of the 21st century must meet numerous requirements – in terms of aesthetics, functionality, and digitalization. WIŚNIOWSKI demonstrates that design, energy efficiency, and intelligent control can go hand in hand – delivering doors that perfectly suit modern homes and their residents.
