Entryway System Customization: Redefine Entry Elegance with MRETTY

Entryway System Customization: Where Function Meets Timeless Elegance

In Singapore’s fast-paced urban lifestyle, the entryway is more than a doorway—it’s the first impression of your home’s personality and a critical transition zone. At MRETTY, we redefine entryway systems by blending advanced engineering with bespoke aesthetics. Our ENF-certified oriented strand board (OSB) cabinetry, paired with aerospace-grade aluminum honeycomb cores, creates entryways that thrive in Singapore’s humid climate while reflecting your unique style.


5 Steps to Designing a Functional & Stylish Entryway

  1. Assess Spatial Dynamics & Usage Patterns

    • Measure door swing clearance, hallway width, and high-traffic zones.

    • For HDB units, prioritize compact designs like MRETTY’s SlimLine 35” Entry System to maximize limited space.

  2. Material Selection for Climate Resilience
