Guidelines for Choosing a Door
Wood
Doors made of wood are highly recommended when they
are protected by an overhang and not facing direct sunshine from the east or west.
Wooden doors have an aesthetic appeal and add to the feeling of warmth in a home. They
also provide an authentic look. However, they require some special care and attention in
order to ensure a very long lasting product.
As wood doors are made of natural fibers, there will be some expansion or contraction under
different temperatures. Each door will perform differently according to the particular
environment in which it is installed. A wood door in a very hot environment may require
some periodic maintenance, typically once a year. Protection will vary according to the finish
applied.
There are many varieties of styles and finishes available in doors made of wood. Some are
offered with impact resistant glass. Please see our Door Samples web page to get an
Solid wood doors typically provide increased security, longer life, and require less
maintenance than those that are not solid wood. The wood doors that we carry are only
made of solid wood.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass doors require little or no maintenance. Many fiberglass doors are now
available with the look of wood. For examples, please see our web page with examples of
fiberglass doors we carry.
Steel and Other Metals
Steel doors (and doors made of other metal composites) are recommended when there is
little or no overhang protection and at patios and front doors when they will be exposed to
severe weather conditions. They do not require maintenance, as they are made of
galvanized steel or other metal laminate with wood inside.
Steel doors are available in a wide variety of styles, including hurricane impact resistant
types.
Regarding Severe Weather Conditions
As long as a door is installed so it opens outward, it will provide an additional
measure of safety and security under severe weather conditions. For example,
in high winds, the frame will help protect the door against inward wind force.
In areas such as Miami, Florida, hurricane impact doors provide an
extra measure of safety and protection against hurricane force winds. Our
hurricane impact resistant doors are Miami-Dade County approved and
certified.
New styles of doors have been introduced with blinds installed internally between two layers
of hurricane impact door glass. This provides an additional benefit of not having to dust
blinds anymore!
