Wood, Fiberglass or Steel? Find the Right Material for Your Entry Door
The front door is a huge part of your home’s first impression. It’s a transitional part of the facade that makes a statement about who you are, and what people can expect when they walk into your home. Not to mention, it has an impact on the value of your home. I’m not just talking about curb appeal; replacing your front door with an energy-efficient model can add to the overall value of your home
But how do you determine which door is right for you? A front door — like any exterior material — has to be tough enough to withstand the elements. But it also should complement and add to the aesthetic of your home.
Since functionality is its primary (and most important) purpose, the best way to narrow down front door choices is to look at it in terms of material. The three most common exterior door materials today are wood, fiberglass composite, and steel.
