Steel entry doors are among the most practical options for a home. This is because they’re strong enough to hold up to low impacts and make the building more secure. Exterior steel doors have a coating that protects against corrosion and rust caused by rain.

This type of entry is available in an array of attractive styles. For instance, there are multiple options for single or multiple window designs. With the proper primer and coatings, you can paint these steel entry doors to a colour that coordinates with the siding and trim. You can even customize the doors by changing out the stock windows with custom decorative windows, available as glass inserts. Just match the desired inset with the window dimensions of the door, and you’ve got an easy way to update your decor.

When it comes to saving on energy bills, having the right door can be as important as your choice of windows and siding. Some steel entry doors have certification as being energy efficient, meaning they help keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. For added efficiency use weather sealing strips at the threshold. When combined with energy-efficient appliances, you can save money on your electric bill every month.

Exterior steel doors are also more economical than other types of entry in that they cost less than wood or fiberglass doors. There’s the convenience of setup as well. These doors come with an assembled frame, so all you need to do is screw in the frame. The exterior finish on steel entry doors reduces wear over time, which makes it easier to care for them. Whether you live in a cozy bungalow or an expansive estate, a steel door is a solid choice for your living space.
