In the panorama of building renovations in 2025, doors play a crucial role both to make the most of the new tax bonuses and to increase the real estate value of the home. The recent regulatory changes to home bonuses have made the benefits more selective and less generous, but investing in high-quality internal and external doors remains a winning strategy to improve the comfort, safety and aesthetics of your home. Let's see why quality doors are essential and how they are included in the renovation bonuses, Ecobonus, Sismabonus, Superbonus and other deductions, while contributing to revaluing the property on the market, especially in the most sought-after urban areas.
Home tax bonuses 2025: fewer incentives, more selectivity
The new rules introduced by the 2025 Budget Law have reduced the scope of building bonuses, focusing them on the main cases. In particular, the Renovation Bonus remains at 50% deduction but only for interventions on the first home (main residence); for second homes or other properties it drops to 36% already from 2025, and will further drop to 30% from 2026. Ecobonus and Sismabonus follow the same logic: maximum rate 50% (first home) and 36% for other properties. Even the Superbonus - which until 2022 reached 110% - has now been significantly scaled down: in 2025 it survives only in residual form at 65% for condominium construction sites already started by October 2024. A positive exception is the Architectural Barriers Bonus, confirmed at 75% (without distinction between first and second home) but only until the end of 2025.
These cuts mean that those who renovate today must carefully plan the interventions to be deducted. For example, the purchase of internal doors alone does not entitle the owner to the renovation bonus (it is considered ordinary maintenance), but if it is part of a larger extraordinary maintenance or building renovation project then it can be deducted at 50%. Similarly, the replacement of an entrance door with a security door is incentivized: it is included among the works aimed at preventing illegal acts (the so-called Security Bonus in the Renovation Bonus) and allows a deduction of up to 50% on the first home (36% on others), always with a spending limit of €96,000. In practice, until December 31, 2025, those who install a new security door can recover half of the expense in 10 years (a great help on the cost), while from 2026 the deduction will drop to 36% (and after 2027 to 30%). It should also be remembered that if the entrance door has excellent thermal performance, it can also be included in the Ecobonus: in fact, for external doors that separate heated rooms from the outside, the same rates apply as for window frames (50%/36%), provided that the window meets the required thermal insulation requirements. In short, although the tax breaks are less generous than in the past, there are still excellent opportunities to save by replacing or installing quality doors, especially if the interventions are planned in an integrated way and the new regulatory constraints are respected (for example, traceable payments with speaking bank transfer, income limits for deductions, etc.).
Quality Finishes and Real Estate Value: The Impact of Doors
Investing in high-quality doors does not only mean obtaining a tax discount: it also means enhancing the value of the property on the market. From the data published in the L'Economia supplement of Corriere della Sera it clearly emerges that a well-renovated house obtains much higher prices than one that needs to be renovated, especially in cities with high demand. The price gap can reach considerable figures: up to €3,500 per square meter more in Milan (Policlinico area), and over +60% in Naples (Duomo area) and Turin (via Nizza) comparing renovated homes with properties "to be fixed up". In other words, a 100 m2 apartment in Milan can be worth up to €350,000 more after a quality renovation than before. These are enormous increases, which fully justify the investment in the work, provided that you are in areas with high demand and that the renovation is done to high standards.
But what is the reason for this huge difference in value? Not just the layout or the square meters, but to a large extent the quality of the finishes and the renovated architectural elements. As luxury sector experts point out, the perceived value of a house depends greatly on the quality of the materials used and the attention to detail and finishes. This applies to both luxury properties and ordinary homes: a “turnkey” home, with new doors, high-performance windows, modern floors and efficient systems, will be valued significantly more than one with dated or cheap finishes. Internal and external doors, in particular, have a strong aesthetic and functional impact: they define the style of the rooms and are among the first things a buyer notices when visiting the house. A designer armored entrance door, for example, immediately communicates security and solidity, increasing the perception of value of the entire property. Similarly, well-made internal doors, with a modern design and perhaps custom-made, give the house a refined and contemporary look that attracts more buyers willing to pay the right price. In short, in competitive urban areas it is often quality that makes the difference: if tax bonuses today cover only a part of the expense, it is also true that those costs translate into a significant potential gain on the final value of the property.
Example of an interior door that combines modern design and functionality. Choosing quality doors in renovations immediately improves the aesthetic perception of a house, making it more attractive on the market.
High performance doors: efficiency, comfort and safety
In addition to the aesthetic aspect, the technical performance of doors is a key factor for both those who live in the house and those who buy. Modern quality doors offer tangible advantages in terms of thermal insulation, acoustic insulation and safety, elements that also contribute to energy efficiency and living comfort (increasingly important in real estate valuations). Let's look at these aspects in more detail:
Thermal insulation: a well-insulated door helps maintain the internal temperature, reducing heat loss in the winter and hot air in the summer. This translates into lower energy bills and a better energy class of the property, a factor that is becoming fundamental (also in light of future “green house” directives). Heat-insulating armored doors with insulated panels and sealing gaskets, for example, can have very low thermal transmittance, contributing to the Ecobonus if installed in place of old dispersing doors. Better thermal insulation increases domestic comfort and makes the house more attractive: those who buy today are well aware of energy costs and appreciate features such as efficient doors and windows.
Sound insulation : especially in urban contexts or in condominiums, having doors with good sound insulation makes a big difference. Let's think of a security door that overlooks a busy street or soundproof internal doors between the living area and the sleeping area: reducing noise means greater privacy and tranquility. There are doors certified for sound insulation that can reduce noise by tens of decibels; installing them during the renovation phase (perhaps together with soundproofed fixtures) will increase the perceived living comfort. A silent house, free from external acoustic disturbances, is perceived as being of superior quality - another plus point during the sales phase.
Security and burglar-proof: the front door is the first bastion of security in every home. Modern armored doors offer very high levels of protection thanks to steel structures, security locks and burglar-proof defenders. Buying an armored door certified in burglar-proof class 3 or 4 means protecting your family from intrusions and thefts, and at the same time benefiting from the expected tax deduction (as seen, 50% deduction until the end of 2025). A security door also increases the perceived value: buyers give great importance to the feeling of a safe home. In addition to armored doors, there are special internal doors - for example for vaults or cellars - that add further protection. Remember that all classes of armored doors enjoy the bonus without distinction, so you can freely choose the model that best suits your needs. Investing in security is always a winning move, both for the peace of mind of those who live there, and as added value to the property.
Fire performance: in some cases (multi-level homes, presence of connected garage, boiler rooms, etc.) it may be essential or advisable to install certified REI fire doors. These special doors resist flames for a certain time, preventing the fire from spreading and ensuring safe escape routes. In renovations, installing a fire door between the garage and the home, for example, increases the overall safety of the property. Even in condominiums or businesses open to the public, fire doors are required by law in certain situations. Equipping your home with certified fire-resistance elements not only protects your family, but can become a strong point when selling (especially if the buyer intends to use part of the property for hospitality or professional use). The fire doors available on the market today combine safety and practicality, with aesthetics that can be coordinated with other internal doors.
Choosing the right doors: product categories and tips
Every renovation has different needs, which is why on [PorteItaliane.com](https://www.porteitaliane.com) there is a wide range of interior and exterior doors suitable for enhancing any project. Below are some product categories to consider to improve the quality of your home and take advantage of the bonuses:
Armored doors: these are security entrance doors, essential for those seeking anti-intrusion protection and thermal-acoustic insulation from the outside. The latest generation of armored doors combine strength (steel structure, reinforced hinges) and design. You can choose customized finishes (wood panels, lacquers, armored glass inserts) to match the style of the facade or apartment. A quality armored door is an investment that lasts over time and immediately increases the prestige of the property. On our site you will find armored doors certified in various security classes, complete with accessories such as digital peepholes, electronic locks and perimeter insulation. Don't forget: by installing an armored door you are entitled to 50% deductions (first home) and improve both the security and energy efficiency of your home.
Modern interior doors: these are interior doors for bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms, characterised by a contemporary style and innovative materials. In a renovation, changing all the interior doors can completely transform the look of an apartment. The modern interior doors of Porte Italiane include hinged and sliding models, with matt or glossy lacquered finishes, contemporary wood essences, frosted or decorated glass, and even flush-to-the-wall solutions (flush with the wall) for a minimal effect. In addition to design, these doors ensure solidity and functionality: concealed hinges, silent magnetic closures, gaskets for better soundproofing between rooms. Choosing quality modern interior doors means adding a touch of elegance and refinement to the renovated home, making the rooms more consistent with current trends and more attractive to potential buyers. Take a look at our Modern Interior Doors section to find inspiration: there are solutions for every taste, from minimal chic lines to doors with a creative and colourful design.
Laminate doors: if you are looking for the best value for money, laminate doors are the answer. These are doors with a synthetic laminate coating, available in a very wide variety of colors and textures (from natural wood effect to matt RAL shades). The advantages? They are extremely resistant to scratches, impacts and humidity, easy to clean and do not require any particular maintenance - ideal for families with children, high-traffic environments or holiday homes. Although they have lower costs than solid wood, they offer good sturdiness and can include sound-absorbing cores for satisfactory acoustic insulation. In your renovation you could opt for laminate doors to combine economy and aesthetics: the result will be a fresh and modern home without going over budget. On our site you will find laminate doors of various collections (classic, modern, pantographed, with glass inserts, etc.), all customizable in size - and remember that these too are included in the deductions if purchased as part of subsidized building works.

These special doors are mandatory in certain contexts (for example in public places, hotels, schools) and can also be very useful in private homes (to secure boiler rooms, garages connected to the home, taverns, etc.). Our fire doors combine uncompromising safety - guaranteed by a structure and seals resistant to high temperatures - with a refined aesthetic, because they are available with external panels similar to normal internal doors, in various colors. This way you can comply with fire regulations without ruining the aesthetic harmony of your home. REI doors can also benefit from the Renovation Bonus if installed during construction work: one more reason to consider them in the design phase.
