FAQ’s

Although wood used to be one of the only materials used for sturdy doors for hundreds of years, this has changed with the development of new technology and materials. Now, there are many materials you can find for doors. They change the price, durability and longevity of the door as well as its aesthetic options.

These options include wood, which is the easiest to alter and can come in the widest variety of patterns and shapes. Fiberglass is a relatively new material used for doors but arguably one of the best for its insulating ability and longevity.

Steel and iron are two metal options if you need something extremely sturdy. When the door’s design is combined with insulating materials, they can be quite effective. However, they will get extremely hot to the touch in warm, sunny climates.

Do not use a door made for interior use as an exterior door. Interior doors are not made to withstand exposure outdoors and are usually hollow. Exterior doors need to provide insulation and security.
