Types of Outside Entrance Doors
Exterior doors are, as the name implies, any door that is on the outside of your home. This includes side doors, doors leading into a garage from the outside, front entry doors, and patio doors.
These doors are further broken down by the type of materials they are made from, style and color. Quality Assured offers a range of standard and customized options including double doors, paneled doors and lite doors (doors with a pane of glass in them). Divided Lite are also a great, decorative option. This is when a lite, or pane of glass, is divided or appears to be because of the inclusion of wood or metal elements bisecting it.
Materials for Exterior Doors
There are four main materials that exterior doors are made from: wood, aluminum, steel and glass or fiberglass. Each has their advantages, uses and drawbacks.
- Glass: Generally, glass doors are the most delicate but also the most decorative. Fiberglass doors with embellishments are best for front entrances.
- Wood: Wood is sturdy and classic but can require a bit more upkeep than other doors. These also do well for front entrances but can also be used as side doors.
- Metal: Aluminum and steel doors are the lowest maintenance of the doors. However, aluminum is more prone to denting. Quality Assured offers a range of options to make these tough materials look aesthetically pleasing.
