To knock, or not to knock.
Surely there is nothing better then to create a great first impression by greeting visitors with a unique door knocker. By doing so you will also create a focal point.
“The first door knockers were thought to be found in Ancient Greece.”
Nowadays door knockers are still prevalent on most British doors. You can either go for a traditional style such as Celtic, Georgian, Regency, Victorian and Edwardian or a contemporary design. Then you must decide on which material you want: chrome, brass, pewter, iron, copper, bronze or nickel. It is important to think which material will stand the test of time in your area due to atmospheric conditions such as rain, traffic, salty sea air, etc.
There also are two main types of door knockers; surface mounted and through the door.
When looking for a door knocker you have a variety of choices. And you must also take into consideration the ergonomics of a heavy black iron door knocker or a slender polished chrome one.
