ENTRY DOORS
Wood
Wood is a smart option for homeowners who want a premium appearance; however, it can turn out to be costly and requires regular maintenance, including periodic staining and painting to keep its look.
Steel
Steel is low-cost, sturdy, durable, and secure; however, it can have a shorter lifespan and is more susceptible to dents than fiberglass and wood. Doors made of steel typically last for only ten years, on average, in high humidity environments, and fiberglass and wood can stay for longer.
Fiberglas
Fiberglas doors are maintenance-free and are available with finishes that mimic the appearance of premium wood. They appear light, but they are sturdy and can last between fifteen to twenty years, and have an efficient foam core which means that they are insulated and are resistant to heat loss.
Sliding Patio Doors
Sliding doors don’t require additional space for opening. They move on a set of tracks that stack against each other, extending your living space to the outside. But, since you can only open the sliding door at a certain point and it can be loud when opening the door, some individuals have difficulty balancing their weight.
French Doors
An assortment of French doors can provide an elegant entrance to your home. They offer a sleek look and open up the whole dimension of the door frame for the best ventilation. They need space for the floor to open, making them a bad option for homes with a smaller or cramped area.
Bifold Doors
Bifold doors are simple to set up and maintain, match a contemporary or traditional style and have numerous locking points to provide greater security. However, they come with various frames that block views and lack the threshold. Stacking them in your home could also cause interference with your living space. Stacking them in your home could also cause interference with your living space.
Lift & Slide Doors
Lift and slide doors function differently than sliding doors. You can turn the handle downwards to lift the door’s panel from the track, and then the door slides on the heavy-duty wheels. You can’t open a door that slides and opens independently without installing an internal pocket. Changing the opening measurements will give you a custom airflow and rapid entry and exit.
