The front door is an important part of your home’s exterior and instantly makes a first impression. Upgrading your door is a cost-effective way to enhance curb appeal, improve energy efficiency and boost security. Doors with integrated windows allow natural light into your home and add a level of elegance to your entry. You can add more light with sidelites and a transom window if the door opening space allows.
Exterior doors are available in a variety of factory applied colours or you can go with factory white and paint your door the exact shade you want. You will have to choose the material the door is made of. Steel and fibreglass doors are the most common and which one is better depends on your preference and often your budget.
You also have the option of a slab door or a pre-hung door. A slab door is just the door by itself. A pre-hung door is a slab door pre-packaged with its own frame and hinges. If you are just replacing a door and the existing frame is sound, then a slab door will work.
Pre-hung doors are ideal if your existing door frame needs replacing or if you want to enlarge the door opening. Choosing an entry door can seem overwhelming with each door system having its own set of options and innovations. Our Door Specialists can guide you to the right choice.
