our front door is more than just a way in and out of your home. It’s a statement. A first impression for visitors. It conveys your style, keeps your loved ones secure, displays holiday decorations and celebrates personal milestones like births and graduations. Unlike the standard wooden models of days gone by, today’s doors are loaded with a variety of fashionable features in styles certain to catch the eye of passersby. From metal to fiberglass, wood, steel and glass, the front door is a key feature for homeowners on the hunt for the perfect portal. ➽W ood vs. Steel Wooden doors have certainly been a staple in the home in the past, but current trends show that steel doors are taking their rightful place in the market. Though wooden doors are well-built and will likely remain a popular pick, they also are more prone to shrinkage and warping, according to the experts. Steel doors are known for their durability and are fast becoming a preference among consumers. Fire-resistant and energy efficient with weather stripping and foam insulation, steel doors are designed to withstand the hottest and coldest of climates. Afraid you will miss your wooden door? You can purchase paint in coatings that will make the door appear wooden! ➽ Chic vs. Sleek In addition to adding safety and security to your home, steel doors come in a variety of colors, sizes and finishes to help give your entrance a distinct look. Choose a satin finish for a more polished, classic look or a rust finish door for a more retro feel. Finally, choose from a variety of handle-set locks to complete the look -- distressed oil-rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, chrome, brass or satin nickel finishes. The choice is yours! ➽B est Buys Steel Doors Inc. has a team of experts ready to help you make the best selection for your home.
