Front Door REPLACEMENT

The first thing to consider is the kind of material that you prefer. There are three main materials that are typically used for front doors. These include wood, metal, and fiberglass. Since your door is meant to secure your home and to provide insulation from the weather outside, it is made rugged and solid. Whichever material you choose, there are different benefits to each one.

Wood

This is a classic and traditional door choice, providing an aesthetic that many homeowners love. Depending on the kind of wood you choose, the door can be quite heavy and sturdy. You will need to consider your climate, however, as wood can warp and rot over time in wetter environments. If you always protect your wood and re-coat it as necessary, you can make a wood door work well for you.

Metal

If you are concerned about safety, this is the door material for you. Metal doors are also more energy efficient and they are low maintenance. They are incredibly hard to break into, require little work on your part, and will keep your house warm and cool at the right moments. New manufacturing processes are also now able to create doors that are very attractive and rival the beauty of wood doors.

Fiberglass

This man-made product has become the go-to choice for many homeowners. It has all the qualities of wood and metal, without any of the drawbacks. It won’t warp or damage like wood, and it will hold up to more abuse and hard use while still looking better than metal. Also, it is low-maintenance and can be crafted to look incredible. And the best part is it can last for years. For more on front door options, or any other home remodeling project, let us know.
