If you’re looking to do a little renovating on your home this spring, a new entry door may be the perfect place for you to start.
The entry door on your home is more than just a way to get inside. It plays a big part in the impression your home gives off and it makes a statement about your personal style and taste.
So how do you choose the entry door that’s right for your home?
When it comes to picking out exterior doors, the options can be overwhelming. At Window Outfitters, we understand this dilemma and our specialists can help you choose the door that will be both functionally and aesthetically fitting for your home. The exterior doors most commonly used today are wood, fiberglass and steel. Below we’ll discuss the advantages of each of these materials.
Comparing Exterior Door Materials
Wood Doors
Wood is the most common material for doors. It is an excellent option for those seeking simple versatility and natural beauty. We offer custom wood doors in numerous styles and wood species so you’re sure to find the one that fits the individuality of your home. However, here in Minnesota because of the weather, we recommend that if your front entry area isn’t covered, that you also have a storm door installed to protect the wood.
Fiberglass Doors
These are becoming an increasingly popular choice for exterior doors. We think they are exceptional for homes in the Minneapolis area because of their ability to withstand severe weather and their low maintenance requirements. Fiberglass is available in a wide variety of styles and textures including wood grain, which bears an almost exact resemblance to real wood. This makes it a great choice for those who want the beauty of wood without the extra maintenance.
Steel Doors
With the proper paint job, steel doors can add a lustrous and modern flair to your home. Commonly used for security purposes, they are known for having the highest protection against unwanted entries. Steel is another great option for those looking for increased durability in harsh climates.
