It’s no secret that entry doors set the tone for your entire home. They are the first thing that someone will see from the street or when they walk up. Various types of entry doors contribute to the curb appeal of your home as well as your home’s energy efficiency.

 

Not only is your entry door pivotal to your homes appeal, but it also is important to have a door that is high functioning for everyday use. Security and energy efficiency are also a major concern. Doors can be customized with decorative hardware and glass, but are primarily available in three materials; wood, steel, and fiberglass.

 

Here is a simple guide for the best exterior door for your home.

 

Wood Entry Doors

 

Wood has always been a homeowner’s somewhat guilty desire. Wood’s natural appearance is unparalleled compared to other types of exterior doors. Wood entry doors are also great for the security of your home as they are extremely sturdy.

 

However, the unmatched beauty of the wood door comes at a price. They are easily the most expensive type of door, and furthermore, require routine maintenance to keep them looking great. They can also be susceptible to warping expanding or rotting due to moisture.

 

Steel Entry Doors

 

If energy efficiency, security, and strength are of high importance to you, steel doors are your best bet. A steel entry door will provide the maximum protection and security for your family. Whether its an intruder, or extreme weather conditions, steel doors are made to last the test of time.

 

Fiberglass Entry Doors

 

Fiberglass doors have had a recent surge in popularity as they are both energy efficient and highly durable. Unlike wood, fiberglass will not rot, warp, or expand.

 

These doors come in a variety of finishes and wood grain imitations. You can easily get the look of a wood door without the heavy maintenance. They are also resistance to scratches and dents of daily use.  Considering door replacement?  You might also enjoy this article.
