Exterior doors for your home can come in all different shapes, styles and colors. Choosing the right door for your home could be challenging, especially if you have no idea what you’re looking for or what your home needs. Doors can be made out of a plethora of materials, but the most common found today would be wood, metal, vinyl and fiberglass exterior doors. In addition to adding to the curb appeal to your home, exterior doors are important for proper insulation in your home. Adding new doors to your home is a great way to upgrade without spending an arm and a leg on materials and labor.
Metal Doors (Steel)
Steel doors are common for exterior doors because of their security, durability and dependability. Steel exterior doors are common in areas with rougher weather conditions such as hurricane or tornadoes, because steel doors are built to withstand the elements. Steel doors by design are more difficult to customize and paint, but they prove to be an excellent choice for an exterior door.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass doors are popular today because they look great, as well as provide the homeowner with several benefits. For one, fiberglass doors are up to three times stronger than traditional wood doors, which will provide the home with more security. Fiberglass doors also have the ability to be painted nearly any color, which is great if you need the door to match the paint of your home. Fiberglass is often the most expensive type of door.
Vinyl Doors
Vinyl exterior doors are also a very popular choice for modern exterior doors. Vinyl is extremely energy efficient, and will provide lasting value to your home the moment you install it. However, vinyl doors cannot be painted as easily as fiberglass, wood or steel. If you know you won’t need to change the color of your home any time soon, vinyl doors are a very reliable and cost effective upgrade.US Window & Door is heavily experienced with all types of doors and windows.
