At Essex Window and Door Centre, it won’t surprise you to hear that we have a great interest in doors. So, for this month’s blog, we thought we would take a look at some of the most expensive doors in the world. Doors that most of us could only dream of … or have nightmares about.
When it comes to luxury living, even the humble front door can become a masterpiece. Around the world, homeowners are investing in luxury front doors that combine extravagant design, high-tech security, and rare materials. Some of these entrances cost more than an average house. Let’s take a closer look at the most expensive and exclusive designer front doors ever made.
Security Meets Luxury
High-security doors no longer have to look industrial. Bespoke “fortress doors” use reinforced steel, bulletproof glass, and biometric systems while still offering stylish finishes. Prices can reach £100,000 or more, appealing to celebrities and business leaders who want safety without compromising on style.
Crystal-Covered Creations
For those who prefer glamour, some luxury front doors can be encrusted with thousands of Swarovski crystals. These sparkling entrances turn a home into a statement piece before you even step inside.
Hand-Carved Masterpieces
In Italy and the Middle East, artisans still create front doors carved from rare hardwoods and inlaid with gold leaf or mother-of-pearl. These handcrafted designer doors can take months to complete and often cost more than £60,000.
The Rise of Smart Doors
Modern innovation has given rise to smart front doors equipped with fingerprint entry, remote locking, and integrated lighting. The most advanced models, which offer AI-driven security and futuristic features, can sell for around £70,000.
Famous Examples
- The Vatican’s Bronze Doors – Priceless works of religious art.
- Burj Khalifa Entrances – Bespoke designs blending elegance with advanced security.
- Hollywood Homes – Some feature custom-built doors worth over £100,000.
