Your front door serves as a focal point and first impression of your home. You want to choose a door that reflects your personal taste and style as well as complements your home. However, in addition to aesthetic factors, you also need to choose your exterior doors based on practical considerations.
For our Canadian weather, fiberglass doors are an ideal choice. They can withstand cold, wet and extreme weather conditions without the usual damage that wooden doors suffer. Casa Bella Windows And Doors offers you the highest quality of fiberglass and steel entry doors in Toronto.
Types Of Replacement Doors
To make an informed selection, you should know the pros and cons of the 3 most common types of materials used for exterior doors in the industry today. Here is some useful information to help you compare and evaluate your choices.
- Fiberglass Doors — Exterior fiberglass doors exist today because the material is very durable and offers good resistance to the cold weather. These doors will not warp, rot, crack, split, swell or shrink due to consistent cold temperatures, intense sunlight or high humidity. Casa Bella’s fiberglass doors have high impact, compression molded skins that makes them “weatherproof”. These durable doors will not delaminate, corrode, allow mold growth or gather mildew. Additional advantages of fiberglass doors include high insulation, easy maintenance and a wide variety of colors, molding and textures. Maintenance is very easy and you will not need to replace them for many years to come.
- Steel Doors — This material is also a popular choice for exterior doors. Steel entry doors do not require much maintenance and come in a wide variety of styles that can complement other exterior features of your home. They are also airtight and can be fitted with glass panels to be more decorative and stylish. Designed for superior protection and durability, Casa Bella’s steel doors are also environmentally friendly.
- Wood Doors — These doors are not a practical choice for exterior doors. Their popularity has been steadily fading in many other parts of North America as well. This is because they require a lot more maintenance, are more easily damaged, and do not provide a high degree of insulation. While laminates have improved their durability to some extent, wood doors are still prone to warping, shrinking, cracking and splitting. The wear and tear due to easy absorption of moisture, heat and sunlight causes wood doors to require replacement sooner than steel or fiberglass.
