Wood Doors
Doors made of solid wood have many advantages. Most steel and fiberglass doors are only trying to mimic the look and feel of a high-end wood door, where as a solid wood door is the real thing! Solid wood doors are also very strong and hold up well to wear and tear. They do not easily dent and can be painted to a color of your preference. One set back of a solid wood door is that they do require maintenance to look good, you will have to paint or varnish them as they will fade or chip over time.
Steel Doors
Weather resistance and security features are some of the benefits of the less expensive option of a steel door. Steel doors are low maintenance unless you get a dent, then it is very difficult to repair. They do offer good weather resistance, but fiberglass doors are a bit better in this area.
Fiberglass Doors
Fiberglass doors can be made to look like a more expensive wood door. Wear and tear on fiberglass doors are less than that of a steel door. They are very low maintenance and can be painted or stained to give you the look and feel you are going for. Under severe impact they can crack.
Each door has benefits and some things to consider before you purchase your front door. Doing research online at Krosswood.com will help you determine which door will be best for your home.
