I'm deciding which door to install in my cottage because the old one can't handle the wind and heat loss anymore. I want something modern, yet durable and weather-resistant. Has anyone had experience choosing such doors? How suitable are modern models for private homes?

We recently discussed this with my relatives, and it turns out that modern doors vary greatly in quality. Some people install them and are happy, while others say the finish quickly fades. It's interesting to hear real-life experiences.
For a cottage, choosing a door is truly crucial—weather has a greater impact than in an apartment. Modern models offer many options, but it's important to understand which ones are suitable for outdoor conditions. I recommend looking at these modern front doors for design ideas. When choosing, I was helped by a detailed selection of modern front doors it helped me understand which designs are considered more durable. Exterior doors must withstand temperature fluctuations and constant humidity, so pay attention to UV resistance and the quality of the outer layer. Some models have a multi-layer coating that doesn't fade or crack. It's crucial that the door has a thermal break—it prevents the metal from freezing and reduces heat loss. It's also worth checking how tightly the seals fit, as drafts can be stronger in a private home. Overall, modern doors are well suited for cottages, provided you choose the right material and pay attention to installation.
