Bring in the natural light with glass-paneled doors that are available in wood, aluminum-clad wood and fiberglass. Beautiful decorative and obscure glass options allow you to customize the look of your home and increase privacy.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass is a flexible and durable material that offers flexibility in design while providing a protective barrier for your home. It can be molded into many styles to complement your house’s architecture and your personal style.
The insulated core of fiberglass doors helps cut energy bills, keeping the cold and hot outside where they belong. This is a major benefit for homeowners, especially those living in warmer climates.
While wood doors often require yearly repainting or refinishing, fiberglass will not fade or chip. It is also resistant to corrosion. In fact, it is sometimes used in chemical storage tanks and pipes, and to construct scrubbers, beams, and gratings.
Wood
A tried-and-true front door choice, wood offers a sophisticated charm that elevates curb appeal. A natural renewable resource, wood doors promote eco-friendliness and provide a high level of customization that homeowners appreciate.
Wood doors are also more difficult to breach, providing a notable security advantage for homeowners concerned about home safety. However, wood is prone to moisture damage and requires regular maintenance to prevent rot, termites, and other types of wear and tear.
For an alternative that offers the best of both worlds, consider a custom screen front entry. Keeping your family healthy and safe, a screened entry allows you to enjoy Florida’s beautiful weather while eliminating bugs, grass cuttings, and other landscape debris from entering the house.
Aluminum
Inherently resistant to corrosion, aluminum doors require little maintenance. They can last over 30 years without requiring any refinishing. Additionally, they are lightweight and easy to customize.
These doors can be manufactured to exact dimensions and with tiny tolerances, resulting in an insulated door that will not warp or shrink, or rust or rot. They also offer great thermal and acoustic insulation, which can help reduce energy bills.
They can be made to look like a traditional French door, and can feature double or triple glazing based on your energy efficiency needs. The frame can also be reinforced for impact resistance. During storms, a screened door will keep dirt and debris from blowing into your home.
Steel
A steel front door offers many benefits for homeowners. It is a sturdy and strong material that resists dents and scratches better than fiberglass and wood. A steel door has a smooth surface that is easy to wipe down of dust and dirt. It is important to promptly paint any scratches on a steel door to prevent rust.
Steel doors can be easily insulated, preventing cold air from escaping and reducing your energy bills. They also block out noise, making your home more private and comfortable. In addition, they are one of the most budget-friendly entry door options and provide a good return on investment.
Wrought Iron
Wrought iron is a metal-based material that’s commonly used to make decorative door fixtures. It’s also known as “ironwork” and blacksmith-made ornamental ironwork. Wrought iron is a tough, malleable material that can be bent into many different shapes.
A wrought iron door is a great way to add a touch of luxury to your home. These doors are available in a variety of styles, colors and designs. They’re also incredibly durable and can withstand heavy weather conditions. In addition, they’re often energy efficient. They’re also an excellent option for homeowners who want to increase their home’s resale value. These doors are made by Elite Entries and are available at Acme Brick Tile & Stone.
Sidelights
A front door with sidelights is a stunning addition to any home. This style of window brings natural light into an entryway and adds insurmountable curb appeal to a property. It also increases the value of your home and makes it easier to welcome in guests or delivery people without opening the door.
These narrow windows can span the partial or entire height of an entry door frame. They can be made from a single window or multiple windows mulled together and offer varying levels of opacity to match preferences. These windows are often framed with the same material and style as a front door for a seamless look.
