Types of Residential Doors
There are so many different types of exterior doors, all providing you with a different level of security and functionality depending on what you need. From a front entry door to a back pation door, we have the perfect door type for your needs.
Entry Doors
Entry doors, also called your front door, are the first thing visitors to your home will see and experience. These doors are an opportunity to make a statement with windows, designs and color, while still being safe and secure. You have endless customization options for panels, trim, windows, colour, and the handle itself, all tailored to your ideal look.
Storm Doors
Storm doors were extremely popular in the South and in many spots here in the Northeast, as you could get a crosswind moving in your home without the need to open a window. Storm doors are a set of two doors, with your metal, wood or fiberglass door and a screened-in door. You can lock and secure the screen while still allowing air to circulate throughout the home. These doors are still quite popular and a great value-add if you are looking for an option to stay cool without running the AC.
Sliding Doors
Sliding doors are a great way to bring more natural light into a room while still providing all the benefits of an entry point. These doors are going to normally have two panes of glass, with a single door being movable to allow for access to and from. With our partners, our sliding glass doors are energy-efficient and feature security-minded hardware to prevent break-ins.
Patio Doors
A patio door is a great option for those looking to blend the benefits of an access door and a sliding glass door. Today’s patio doors are typically a set of two doors that open to provide a larger access area when needed. They are generally made of glass but have an interlayer design or frame to provide a little more structure to the door itself. Unlike sliding glass doors, these doors hinge open and are great for larger openings or for replacing an older sliding glass door.
Door Materials
What are Residential Doors Made of?
Residential doors have seen massive strides in technology and materials over the past decade. Depending on your specific needs, there are a few common materials that we use every day here in Connecticut.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass doors provide a durable and strong exterior door that is resistant to dents and rotting. As they require very little maintenance, these doors are typically used for exterior access doors, since they can be installed and forgotten about.
Wood
Wood is a classic choice for a door, but they do require some maintenance to keep up to standard. Although a solid wood door is sturdy and secure, if not maintained, it could warp over time in direct sunlight.
Steel
Steel is the most budget-friendly metal door option on the market, and offers superior security and strength compared to your traditional wood door. These doors are prone to denting over time, but can easily be painted to cover up scratches and dings.
Aluminum
Aluminum doors are an upgrade over your traditional steel door, offering scratch resistance and strength in one amazing door. Aluminum is commonly used for access or patio doors and is a significant upgrade over wood or steel in durability and functionality.
