Why exchange one door for the same kind? You can trade up affordably:
- How about a natural wood door?
- Wait till you see what they’re doing with steel doors!
- Have you ever seen a fiberglass composite front door?
- Aluminum doors combine beauty and practicality.
Wood doors are most popular
They are versatile. You have a choice of natural finished oak, walnut, mahogany, maple, fir or pine. Pine is frequently the wood used in a front door made to be painted.
- You can find custom-made wood doors, as well as solid wood. This is the most luxurious option.
- There are many stunning stock wood doors that are constructed with a wood veneer on the outside and indoor side. The engineered core resists warping, and some manufacturers give the core insulating value. Home remodeling experts often suggest you insist on a furniture-grade veneer that is 1/16th of an inch thick.
A steel door offers security and durability – and does it beautifully
They are strong, and steel won't crack or warp. Dents can be repaired. Steel doors also cost the least. But they are attractive. You can choose a front door with polyester or vinyl coating in a color to complement your home. Homeowners choose an embossed wood grain to add attractiveness. Some steel doors are laminated with wood-fiber for staining, or a wood veneer.
Fiberglass-composite doors are tough and affordable
They also require no maintenance. These choices are molded in the factory with a wood grain texture, and take a stain to match many woods. Often, an insulation of polyurethane foam is inside. If you choose this front door, it likely comes with a long warranty.
Aluminum doors are insulation with metal skin.
Most aluminum doors are now custom built. And customized: there are styles, colors, and wood grain surfaces. The baked enamel finish won’t rust and never needs painting.
Let us show you the styles to choose from
- Traditional, modern, craftsman, mission, rustic and French. And we’ve barely begun to list the exterior décor choices.
- Perhaps you want a door that is primarily glass panels. Your choice of pane styles is nearly endless.
- A plain front door can be transformed with the addition of an overhead transom that can be rectangular, curved or paned.
- Adding vertical side windows adds light to a foyer and distinction to your entryway.
What is a “pre-hung” door?
It means that the door is already hinged to its frame. Pre-hung doors are a good idea if your old frame is damaged or if you're enlarging the size of the entry.
There are even energy tax credits for new doors The federal government allows you to claim a tax credit of up to 30% of the cost of a door that meets new energy efficiency standards. We’ll be delighted to lead you to such energy saving products.
