Choosing an Exterior Door? Remember These Tips

Your choice of entry doors will depend on your priorities. Are you a homeowner who prioritizes safety, aesthetics, or both?

Here are some tips to help you choose an exterior door to fulfill your needs:

Choose Steel if You Value Security
Steel is nothing if not secure. The material is durable and can withstand harsh weather elements. Dreamstyle Remodeling also recommends steel doors because of their elegance and energy efficiency. For maximum protection that does not compromise beauty, choose legacy steel doors.

Choose Fiberglass if You Want Versatility
Fiberglass doors require minimal maintenance and will fit any area regardless of the climate. They do not expand or contract even when exposed to extreme heat or cold. Signet Fiberglass doors are also energy-efficient, helping you save money through lower energy costs. Dreamstyle Remodeling also installs Heritage Fiberglass doors, which prevent warping. Their fiberglass doors have improved definition embossing, hardwood edges, and enhanced woodgrain texture. They will also not dent, and will resist cracking and splitting.

Choose a Storm Door if You Want Weather Resistance
Storm doors are manufactured to the highest standards. They are made from tempered safety glass, making them extremely durable. Storm doors from Dreamstyle Remodeling also come in a range of colors, so that you can find a door to suit your home’s design.

Look for the ENERGY STAR® Label
If you want a door that pays for itself, choose an energy-efficient option. Remember that the efficiency of the door does not just depend on the material used; you also need to consider the professional installation, the framework, and whether it has windows.

Check the Warranty
Your entry door should come with a good warranty as a testament to its quality. According to Dreamstyle Remodeling, Heritage Fiberglass doors come with a 7-year finish warranty, while the Signet Fiberglass Door has a 10-year finish warranty.
