Fiberglass and Steel Exterior Doors
When it comes to exterior doors, there are many things that people consider – the door’s style, its durability, its energy efficiency, Building Code Compliancy, etc.
No matter where you are at in the decision making process, we can be of assistance. We can answer your questions about the various types and styles of doors, and we can help you find a door that matches what you have envisioned.
At AWG Custom Doors, we manufacture and stock both fiberglass and steel exterior door assemblies. There are some basic differences between the two materials:
Fiberglass Doors
Fiberglass doors check all the boxes when selecting a new exterior door for your home. They provide energy efficiency, protection from the elements, privacy, security and are a key factor to the overall aesthetic of your home. Fiberglass doors will stand up to years of use, they resist dents, scratches, they do not rot, rust or deteriorate. The slab is extremely durable and will not be damages by moisture or humidity. Unlike Steel, fiberglass does not transfer heat, making it the best choice for areas with seasonal fluctuations in temperature.
Another design feature of a smooth fiberglass slab is it is paintable. A textured slab can be stained for the look and feel of real wood, without the expense and maintenance. There are so many options! You tell us the look you are trying to achieve and we can break down all your choices, while staying within budget. See our supplier links for a complete overview of the selection of styles of fiberglass slabs available.
Steel Doors
Steel doors also provide great durability. They are strong, insulate well and are resistant to the elements of corrosion that typically affect wood doors, because they have a smooth finish and are typically easy to paint. Though limited in options, steel slabs are a budget friendly alternative to fiberglass doors.
