If you are in search of an entry door, you will need to weigh your options to find the right fit for your home. To help you with your choices, here is a list of the possible styles of entry doors that you can choose for your home renovation.
Here at Casa Bella Windows & Doors, we have a wonderful selection of entry doors for you to observe: the Fiberglass Entry Door, the Steel Entry Door, Garden Doors and Sliding Patio Doors. Each door has different benefits to add to a property, because of their specific materials and design. This list is also a handy guide for project developers and contractors, who can discuss renovation possibilities for new windows and doors in Toronto with their current or future clients. If a client is unsure of what material they should look for or what designs are available, you can use these talking points to give them a better picture for their home improvement.
Fiberglass Entry
A fiberglass entry door is a reliable option for a front door entrance because of its functionality, appearance and energy-efficiency. Fiberglass can have the aesthetic and warmth of wood, without any of the disadvantages that actually come with having a wood door: rotting or warping of the material because of change in climate; scraping or denting from damage; and peeling, chipping or fading over time. Fiberglass doors are durable pieces that are known for being low-maintenance — there is no effort needed to upkeep a fiberglass door after it has been installed. Fiberglass also has excellent insulating properties, so the door will conserve heat and help in the reduced costs of energy bills.
Steel Entry
Steel doors are known of their strength, durability and reliability. These doors are prized by homeowners and builders because they add superior security to a property — they are seen as a major defense against intruders and theft. They are also resilient against the elements and will not warp, crack or come apart. Much like fiberglass doors, steel doors also have the added benefits of being low-maintenance and energy-efficient.
Garden Doors
Garden doors will add brightness and a touch of elegance to the back entrance of your home. These traditional doors swing open so that the fresh air and sunshine can spill into the house. Other than the graceful aesthetic, the garden doors have another brilliant benefit: by opening up both doors, you will eliminate the barrier between the inside and outside of your home, creating an expansive natural space.
Sliding Patio Doors
Sliding patio doors are glass doors that open and close on a raised horizontal rail, placed in the back of the house to lead to a patio, garden or walkway. These doors are ideal for tight or narrow spaces, because the doors slide onto a track instead of pushing outside or inside the doorway — if you have garden doors instead of sliding patio doors in a tight space, you run the risk of hitting a wall or furniture with the door. They are a great selection for those who want their backyard to feel beautiful and peaceful, because they glide quietly instead of slamming shut. These doors can make a backyard feel like a sweet and tranquil hideaway, separate from the rest of the property.
Each door has different physical and aesthetic benefits that it can bring to a property: fiberglass doors are known for functionality; steel doors are known for security; garden doors will expand space; and sliding doors will increase the peace. Whether you are a homeowner researching to find the best doors for your property or a project developer trying to accommodate your client’s ideas, you will be thankful to have a quick and helpful rundown on the door options available.
