Entry doors are more than just gateways into your home. They’re the first features guests notice when they see your home. They also protect against intruders and keep your home secure. Today’s top designers create beautiful, unique entry doors that instantly become focal points of your home’s exterior. Your entryway gives you the opportunity to make a great first impression—make it count by upgrading your entry doors.
Fiberglass Doors
Installing wooden entry doors is a classic design trend that will never go out of style, but real wood can be tough to maintain and expensive. Faux wood doors are made with fiberglass – a more durable and efficient solution that looks just like real wood. Fiberglass entry doors insulate a home better than real wood, and are Energy Star-certified. Using modern technology, fiberglass doors imitate the look and feel of real wood, so your guests won’t be able to tell the difference.
Fiberglass doors are completely maintenance-free, giving you the best return on your investment. You won’t ever have to paint over fiberglass, or worry about it rotting or warping like real wood does. In the humid Tennessee summers, real wood can create problems – but faux wood never needs servicing. Enjoy the natural look of real wood without the upkeep hassles.
A New Way to Use Steel
Steel has been a popular material for entry doors for years due to its cost efficiency and security against intruders. Steel doors are stronger than wood or fiberglass doors. Steel doors can look smooth or have an embossed wood-grain pattern, depending on preference. Homeowners are taking advantage of the sleek, modern appearance of steel to update their homes’ exteriors.
Steel doors can come with stainable wood-fiber coating so you can choose your color preference, or choose a laminated wood veneer to duplicate the look of natural wood. Modern homes look great with the traditional steel door finish if you don’t want to alter its natural appearance. Steel doors aren’t typically solid metal. They have cores of different materials to provide enhanced insulation.
Precious Metal Entry Doors
A precious metal door may seem like a significant investment, but it can be worth it if you want unique doors with long warranties. Doors fitted with copper, bronze, and aluminum are great options for trendy homeowners who want distinct exterior home accents. Precious metals can accent both modern and traditional homes. You won’t have to worry about the finish, because natural oxidation hides any imperfections.
Raised-Panel Doors
To add texture to your home’s exterior, opt for raised-panel doors. These doors have intricately carved panels that are raised off of the door’s surface. This design choice can add intrigue and dimension to your home’s entryway and make it appear more expensive than it actually is. Raised-panel doors are trendy right now for homes with traditional architecture as they add flair to a classic style.
