Types of Entry Doors

Types of Entry Doors

Fiberglass Entry Doors- BEST CHOICE þ

 Fiberglass is a practical choice for most people. These doors are available with a smooth surface or, more typically, an embossed wood-grain texture. An edge treatment on some makes them look more like real wood.  Harris Exteriors & More sells and installs the finest entry door systems manufactured by Therma-Tru. 

Therma-Tru is the most preferred brand in the door industry! They produce a higher quality and better performing door system than the competition.

Pros:

Fiberglass doors resist wear and tear better than steel. They can be painted or stained, are moderately priced and dent-resistant, and require little maintenance.

 Cons:

They can crack under severe impact.

 Steel Entry Doors

 

 Pros:
They're relatively inexpensive and can offer the security and weather resistance of  fiberglass and wood doors. Steel doors require little maintenance--unless dents are a part of your home scenario. They're energy-efficient; though adding glass panels cuts their insulating value.

Cons:

Steel doors didn't resist weather as well as fiberglass and wood doors in our abuse tests and the laboratory equivalent of torrential rain, strong winds, and a decade of wear and tear. And while they're typically low-maintenance, dents are hard to fix, and scratches may rust if they aren't painted promptly.

Wood Entry Doors

Wood provides the high-end look that other materials try to mimic.

Pros:

Solid-wood doors were best at resisting wear and tear in our tests. They're also the least likely to dent, and scratches are easy to repair.

 Cons:

Wood doors remain expensive. And they require regular painting or varnishing to look their best.
