EXTERIOR DOORS
|
Nothing has more impact on your home’s curb appeal than an
exquisite front door and landscaped entryway. But this entryway can
also affect your home’s interior, protecting it from intruders
and inclement weather. A beautiful front door will even affect how
you feel about your home as it sets the tone and mood every time
you pull into your driveway.
Steel Doors
Steel doors are tough. They’re resistant to shrinking, swelling
and warping and their tough construction can withstand many years
of extreme weather with little or no maintenance. Most have an energy
efficient foam core, making them fabulous choices for those interested
in minimizing energy loss and lowering energy bills. While they’re
not as stunning as wooden doors, if you paint these doors to match
your home’s exterior you’ll have a good-looking and efficient
door for many years to come.
Fiberglass Doors
Fiberglass doors offer the same energy efficiency as steel doors
but they have the look of real wood-grain when painted or stained.
Since they’ve got a high quality composite construction they’re
weather, scratch and dent resistant. Fiberglass doors are a great
choice for high traffic entrances.
Wood Doors
Nothing says home like a traditional wood door. Wood doors are made
from a frame and panel construction to allow for expansion and contraction
due to weather changes and, once painted or stained, offer an inviting
and warm look for your home. Perfect for homes of all types, adding
a wooden door to your home only enhances your property’s sophistication
and elegance. Some exterior wood doors have grooved or stained glass
insets for added glamour.
Patio Doors
Patio doors, whether you choose a sliding or French door style, must
be sturdy enough to accommodate your high traffic entryway.
Sliding patio doors are composed of panes of glass that are mounted
in a frame with rollers so that they can slide open and shut easily.
Sliding doors can be manufactured from several different types of
materials, including:
| – |
Aluminum sliding doors are usually the least
expensive sliding door available. They won't rust and are very
easy to maintain. |
| – |
Vinyl sliding doors are also very easy
to maintain and are quite energy efficient. Most vinyl sliding
doors now have low-e insulated glass and preinstalled weather-stripping,
which means added energy efficient for the eco-conscious homeowner. |
| – |
Wood sliding doors are usually the most
expensive sliding doors. Like traditional wood exterior doors,
they add a look of warmth and unparalleled style. |
| – |
Wood clad doors are simply wooden doors
and frames that have a vinyl, fiberglass or aluminum exterior
coating on the outside face, which protects the wood from extreme
weather. The interior of the door is left uncoated so you can
still enjoy the beauty of the natural wood from inside your
home. |
French patio doors are available in aluminum, vinyl, wood, wood-clad,
steel and fiberglass. You can choose from left- or right-handed in-swing
or out-swing doors—i.e. the door can swing in or out. These
classic doors are perfect for high traffic areas in climates with
volatile weather. There are many different styles of glass-paned
French doors to choose from.
