Aurora Wood Front Doors – Types

It is sometimes tough to pick the right front door to install in your home. You have to choose one that looks inviting to guests but, at the same time, discouraging to burglars.  Most of all, you need to find one that complements the architectural style of your home.  Moreover, front doors have to be durable enough to withstand intense heat or cold, strong winds, and, if you leave near the sea, damaging ocean salt.

A few decades back, most homeowners’ only option was to have wood front doors installed.  Today, people can now choose among traditional wood front doors, fiberglass doors, and metal or steel doors. These three most common types of doors vary according to durability and average lifespan.

For so many decades, most homeowners used to prefer wood doors over the other two types.

Some people still do, by the way, because wood doors provide excellent insulation.

However, among the three, wooden doors are the most susceptible to damage due to harsh outdoor elements, such as changing weather conditions.  They are also know to develop unsightly cracks and splits, accumulate rust, and corrode or rot over time.  Over the past few years, newer, stronger, and more solid wood front doors have been produced as better alternatives.

Metal ones, though not as susceptible to damage as wood front doors, cannot last forever.  They even prove to become unsightly when their paint starts to peel off after being exposed to harsh weather conditions for long periods of time.

Perhaps the best option for an entry door would be one that is made of fiberglass material.  Actually, fiberglass doors did not become a hit until they were produced looking exactly like original wooden doors.  This is because some people still find wooden doors very authentic and sophisticated, especially intricately-designed ones.  Today, thousands, maybe even millions, of homeowners are now using fiberglass front doors in their homes.

Fiberglass doors, like wood doors, provide just the right amount of insulation needed inside the home.  Because of this, these doors are considered energy-efficient, saving you a significant amount of money by paying less on electricity (for heating and cooling) bills.

Fiberglass doors are also highly versatile.  

You can request for the manufacturer to customize your door according to your preferences or the style of your home.  Or, you yourself can even paint your own factory-primed fiberglass door with oil-based finish.

With an entrance door made of fiberglass material, you never have to worry about extreme weather conditions damaging it.  Their thick, durable glass panes cannot be easily shattered by harsh weather or worse, burglars.

You and your family will feel completely safe behind fiberglass doors.

High quality fiberglass entrance doors may cost higher than conventional wooden doors or steel doors, but their numerous advantages far outweigh the monetary amount that you have to pay to have them installed in your home.  Consider your fiberglass door a wise and priceless investment which you get to thoroughly enjoy for many years to come.
